Blaise Montoya -The Price of Power-#10
PALAU, ABANDONED AIRSTRIP — 11:48 PM
A storm rolls in. Lightning flashes across the cracked runway.
Lord Alistair Pembroke steps out, umbrella in hand, looking older than usual. He checks his watch. Nervous.
Headlights appear.
Blaise’s motorcycle roars into view. She stops inches from him. She removes her helmet — eyes sharp, unreadable. “You said it was urgent.”
Pembroke swallows hard... “It’s time I told you the truth.”
Inside the hangar, Pembroke hands Blaise a sealed folder.
Inside: photos of Pembroke with Viktor Draavos, financial transfers and a contract signed 12 years ago.

She stops...Something feels wrong. A faint click. She turns... A van screeches in. Masked men jump out... Blaise Montoya -The Price of Power-#10:
