I'm so close to giving up, so close to accepting my defeat and twisted fate.The darkness is quickly closing in around me, but a sliver of light appears when I read the note from my brother and my guys.I will rise, like a phoenix from the ashes. I will be a catastrophic force, one this compound trained me to be.My guys are coming for me, and I almost feel bad for the carnage we're going to inflict.We'll burn it all down, right after I break free.

I've craved answers and now that I'm getting them, I don't know if I'm ready.I have a brother, a family.Sadly, the knowledge of that isn't comforting, because I can't trust them.The same distrust extends to the guys that are invading every aspect of my life. Suddenly, they're everywhere, demanding the truth from my lips and tugging at a heart that's been cold for far too long.Will the truth set me free, or rip me apart?
