Chapter 6 - THE MAN WHO CAME BACKHe stepped into the light.
Older.
Thinner.
Scarred.
But alive.
David.
I couldn't move.
He looked at Logan.
His face collapsed.
“Is that my son?”
Logan stared at him.
“Who are you?”
David knelt.
“I’m David.”
Logan looked at me.
“Mommy?”
I couldn't speak.
Then Logan walked toward him.
David hugged his son.
And broke down.
I had imagined this moment for two years.
In my imagination, I ran into his arms.
Instead, I stood frozen.
“You let me bury you.”
“I know.”
“You let me raise our son alone.”
“I know.”
“You let me think you were dead.”
“I had no choice.”
“There is always a choice.”
David looked at Alessandro.
“He saved me.”
“How?”
“He found me after the crash.”
Alessandro explained.
David had been badly injured.
They faked his death because the organization was hunting him.
For two years, he worked undercover.
He had been gathering evidence.
Until the network discovered he was still alive.
Then they came for Alessandro.
And used me to force David out of hiding.
I looked at David.
“Why didn't you come home?”
He cried.
“Because every time I got close, someone died.”
That answer didn't erase the pain.
But it explained it.
Then a gunshot rang out.
David pushed Logan behind him.
A bullet struck the wall.

Nathaniel appeared on the balcony.
“You should have stayed dead, brother.”
