Chapter 9 - The AmbushJulian heard footsteps.
Three men.
Maybe four.
He moved quickly.
A fist struck his shoulder.
He fell against a desk.
The room became a blur.
Then a figure appeared in the doorway.
A man.
Tall.
Dark jacket.
Cold eyes.
He moved with terrifying precision.
Within seconds, two attackers were on the floor.
The stranger looked at Julian.
Neither spoke.
Then the stranger said:
“Daniel?”
Julian froze.
“No one has called me that.”
The man stared at him.
“Because everyone who knew that name is dead.”
Julian's heart hammered.
“You're Noah.”
The man didn't answer.
He simply walked away.
Julian followed.
“Wait!”
The stranger stopped.
“You shouldn't be looking for me.”
“Why?”
“Because they aren't trying to kill you.”
Julian frowned.
“Then who are they trying to kill?”

Noah looked over his shoulder.
“Me.”
