    IMMACULATE HEART OF THE BVM (MEMORIAL)

    Office: Memorial, Psalter week 4

    Mass and preface of the memorial

    Vestment: White

    Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery

    Vespers I of the solemnity of Ss Peter & Paul

    -FIRST READING-

    “Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, and Sarah shall have a son.”

    A reading from the Book of Genesis (Genesis 18:1-15)

    In those days: The Lord appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth, and said, “My lord, if I have found favour in your sight, do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on — since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.” And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “She is in the tent.” The Lord said, “I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying; “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son.” But Sarah denied, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Luke 1:46-47.48-49.50 and 53.54-55(R. 54b)

    R/. The Lord has remembered his mercy.
    My soul magnifies the Lord,
    And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. R/.

    For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
    For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed:
    for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name. R/.

    R/. The Lord has remembered his mercy.

    And his mercy is on those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
    He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent empty away. R/.

    He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
    as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his posterity for ever. R/.

    ALLELUIA Matthew 8:17

    Alleluia. Christ took our infirmities and bore our diseases. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    “Many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (Matthew 8:5-17)

    At that time: As Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, begging him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralysed at home, in terrible distress.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard him, he marvelled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and quash their teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever; he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    Today’s Reflection

    The humility of the centurion is noteworthy. His expression has been imprinted on our hearts through our Eucharistic worship when we pray: “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you…” Apart from humility, we see in the centurion the extraordinary love of one who goes to Jesus on behalf of a servant. We see his great respect; his awareness that a Jew who entered his home would be considered as defiled. We see a wise person making good use of his own experience in coming to understand others. Finally, we see the quality that amazes Jesus: his faith. We can discern a composite of virtues in the centurion. Let us reflect in gratitude upon our own stores of these qualities of heart, mind, reason and will, and how we might use them more creatively to build God’s Kingdom.

    Personal Devotional

    “For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God” Ephesians 1: 7

    - I loose myself from all heart attacks rooted in fear, and I command all spirits of fear to leave in the name of Jesus.

    - I loose myself from all diabetes rooted in rejection, self-hatred, ancestral inheritance, and guilt in the name of Jesus.

    - I break all causes of sickness and diseases, and I command all hereditary spirits of sickness of come out of me in the name of Jesus.

    - I paralyze every activities of evil parasites, immune destroyers, demonic wasters and health devourers in my life in the name of Jesus.

    Let Us Pray

    Teach us, good Lord, to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and not ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen.

    VIGIL OF S. PETER AND S. PAUL, AP.

    At the vigil Mass

    This Mass is used on the evening of 28 June, either before or after First Vespers (Evening Prayer 1) of the Solemnity.

    Entrance Antiphon

    Peter the Apostle, and Paul the teacher of the Gentiles, these have taught us your law, O Lord.

    Collect

    Grant, we pray, O Lord our God, that we may be sustained by the intercession of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, that, as through them you gave your Church the foundations of her heavenly office, so through them you may help her to eternal salvation. Through our Lord..

    -FIRST READING-

    A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:1 -10)

    “I give you what I have, in the name of Jesus, rise and walk.”

    In those days: Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and recognised him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm19:2-3.4-5 (R. 5a)

    R/. Their sound goes forth through all the earth.

    The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
    Day unto day conveys the message
    and night unto night imparts the knowledge. R/.

    No speech, no word, whose voice goes unheeded;
    their sound goes forth through all the earth,
    their message to the utmost bounds of the world. R/.

    -SECOND READING-

    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians (Galatians 1:11-20)

    “God set me apart before I was born.”

    Brethren: I would have you know that the Gospel which was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the Church of God violently and tried to destroy it; and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)

    The word of the Lord.

    ALLELUIA John 21 .17d

    Alleluia. Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (John 21:15-19)

    “Feed my lambs, feed my sheep.”

    When [Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and] they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you fastened your own belt and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will fasten your belt for you and bring you where you do not wish to go.” (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, “Follow me.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    Office: Prop., Te Deum

    Mass Proper; Gloria. Creed.

    Preface of Sacred Heart

    Vestment: White

    Today’s Rosary: Sorrowful Mystery

    Vespers II of the Most Sacred Heart

    World day of prayer for the sanctification of priests.

    -FIRST READING-

    A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 34:11—16)

    “I will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down.”

    “Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep have been scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the fountains, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will watch over; I will feed them in justice.”

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23:1-3a.3b-4.5.6 (R. 1)

    R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.

    The Lord is my shepherd;
    there is nothing I shall want.
    Fresh and green are the pastures
    where he gives me repose.
    Near restful waters he leads me;
    he revives my soul. R/.

    He guides me along the right path,
    for the sake of his name.
    Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death,
    no evil would I fear, for you are with me.
    Your crook and your staff will give me comfort. R/.

    R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.

    You have prepared a table before me
    in the sight of my foes.
    My head you have anointed with oil;
    my cup is overflowing. R/.

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life.
    In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell
    for length of days unending. R/.

    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (Romans 5:5b- 11)

    “God shows his love for us.

    Brethren: God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. While we were yet helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man — though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

    The word of the Lord.

    ALLELUIA Matthew 11:29ab

    Alleluia. Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart. Alleluia.

    Or the following: John 10:14

    Alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my own, and my own know me. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 15:3-7)

    Share my joy. I have found my lost sheep.

    At that time: Jesus told the Pharisees and the scribes this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

    Celebrant:

    Gathered as one body of Christ on this solemnity of the sacred heart of Jesus, let us pray that our hearts may be filled with a sincere love for God and one another.

    FOR THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH: That they, aware of their missionary identity, may strive to follow Christ faithfully and to proclaim his gospel to all peoples. Let us pray to the lord.

    FOR CIVIL LEADERS: that they may strive towards building a nation in which the freedom of each person to worship according to the dictates of his or her conscience is guaranteed. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST FAITH CHRIST: that they, like the lost sheep, may be redirected to the heart of Jesus, where they will dwell forever. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR OUR CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY: that we may hunger and thirst for Jesus in the most holy Eucharist and be fed and nourished by him. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR OTHER INTENTIONS: (the sick, church projects or other activities).

    FOR THE DEAD, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF OUR PARISH COMMUNITY AND FAMILY MEMBERS: that they may find eternal rest with the Lord. We pray O Lord.

    We pray in silence for our private intentions.

    Celebrant:

    God our Father, you are king and most high over all the earth. Graciously hear the prayers we offer to you and grant that we may always enjoy the inexhaustible graces that flow from the sacred heart of Jesus. Through Christ our Lord.

    R/. Amen.


    TODAY’S REFLECTION

    In today’s Gospel, the good shepherd goes in search of the lost sheep, and, after finding it, rejoices with his neighbours. Through this parable, Jesus reveals his compassionate love towards those who go astray.

    The Sacred Heart of Jesus is also a symbol of God’s tender love, compassion and mercy. Although we claim to have faith in the Sacred Heart, we sometimes hold the mistaken belief that God is like a policeman, watching our every move and punishing us when we fail.

    Our devotion to the sacred Heart of Jesus should lead us rather to trust more in the love and forgiveness of God, who desires our salvation and well- being. As disciples of Christ, we should also make an effort to become more compassionate and forgiving towards those who go astray.

    PERSONAL DEVOTIONAL

    “But because of our sins he was wounded, beaten because of the evil we did. We are healed by the punishment he suffered, made whole by the blows he received.” Isaiah 53:5

    - Pray for God to give you the grace to accept the reality of persecution in Christian faith.

    - Father, destroy every spirit of fear in my life.

    - O Lord Jesus, banish every ignorance and sentiments within me that makes me to get discouraged when persecution comes.

    Dear Lord, do not let me be separated from you because of hardship, persecution, hunger, poverty, danger or death. Help me to remain faithful to you. (Pray seriously).

    Let Us Pray,

    O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness, and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us to have perfect trust in your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to you, we shall see your hand, your purpose, your will through all things.

    PRAYER FOR NIGERIA IN DISTRESS

    All powerful and merciful Father,
    You are the God of justice, love and peace.
    You rule over the nations of the earth.
    Power and might are in your hands and no one can withstand you.

    We are sorry for all the sins we have committed
    and for the good deeds we have failed to do.

    Lord, we are weighed down not only by uncertainties,
    but also by moral, economic and political problems.
    Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you,
    Our God of infinite goodness,
    our strength in adversity,
    our health in weakness,
    our comfort in sorrow;
    be merciful to us your people.

    Friday June 27, 2025 Sacred Heart of Jesus (Solemnity) Office: Prop., Te Deum Mass Proper; Gloria. Creed. Preface of Sacred Heart Vestment: White Today’s Rosary: Sorrowful Mystery Vespers II of the Most Sacred Heart World day of prayer for the sanctification of priests. -FIRST READING- A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 34:11—16) “I will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down.” “Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep have been scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the fountains, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will watch over; I will feed them in justice.” The word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23:1-3a.3b-4.5.6 (R. 1) R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me; he revives my soul. R/. He guides me along the right path, for the sake of his name. Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, no evil would I fear, for you are with me. Your crook and your staff will give me comfort. R/. R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. R/. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for length of days unending. R/. -SECOND READING- A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (Romans 5:5b- 11) “God shows his love for us.

  • NASA explained how astronauts stuck on orbit will return aboard the Boeing Starliner

    NASA representatives shared at a special briefing that two astronauts, who were delivered to the International Space Station in June aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, are likely to return on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft in February 2025. This possibility is being considered if the Starliner's return to Earth is still deemed unsafe.

    Tests showed that four of Starliner's engines failed due to overheating and automatic shutdown, and other engines, when restarted during tests, were weaker than planned due to fuel limitations. Ground tests conducted in late July at the White Sands rocket test site in New Mexico revealed that engine overheating led to the deformation of Teflon seals, which caused fuel lines to clog, weakening the engine

  • LOVE AND BULLET
    PART 6
    The underground safe room hummed with tension, the glow of surveillance screens casting flickering shadows across Obinna’s sharp features. Ava stood frozen, her fingers still curled around the cold metal of the gun he had given her.
    His brother’s men.
    The words echoed in her mind, unraveling everything she thought she knew.
    Obinna moved with lethal grace, his agbada now slightly undone at the collar, revealing the strong column of his throat. He didn’t look at her as he checked the monitors, his voice low. “They’ll be here in minutes.”
    Ava swallowed. “Why would your own brother send men to kill you?”
    A muscle in his jaw twitched. “Because power is a poison, little detective. And family?” He finally met her gaze, his eyes dark with something unreadable. “Family is just the first betrayal.”
    The rawness in his voice sent an unexpected pang through her chest.
    A distant thud echoed from the tunnel.
    They were out of time.
    Obinna grabbed her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers as he pulled her toward the SUV. “Drive.” He tossed her the keys.
    Ava caught them on reflex. “You’re trusting me to drive?”
    His lips curved, but there was no humor in it. “I’m trusting you to survive.”
    The engine roared to life as Ava slammed her foot on the accelerator, the tires screeching against concrete as they shot up the ramp. The garage door groaned open, revealing the storm-lashed streets of Lagos.
    Rain pelted the windshield in sheets, the city lights blurring into streaks of gold and neon. Ava’s pulse hammered as she swerved through traffic, her knuckles white on the wheel.
    Obinna braced a hand on the dashboard, his other gripping her thigh—not possessive, not demanding, just *there*. A silent anchor in the chaos.
    “Left,” he commanded, his voice steady.
    Ava obeyed, cutting sharply down a narrow alley. The SUV’s side mirror clipped a stack of crates, sending them crashing to the ground behind them.
    A glance in the rearview mirror confirmed what she already knew—headlights. Closing in.
    “They’re still on us,” she breathed.
    Obinna’s thumb stroked absently over her skin, his touch sending a traitorous shiver up her spine. “Then lose them.”
    The safe house was a nondescript apartment in the heart of Lagos, tucked between a bustling market and a mechanic’s shop.
    Ava barely had time to register the sparse furnishings before Obinna was crowding her against the door, his body a wall of heat as he caged her in. Rain dripped from his locs onto her cheeks, his breath warm against her lips.
    “Why did you follow me?” he demanded.
    Ava’s chest rose and fell rapidly. “You didn’t leave me much choice.”
    “There’s always a choice.” His gaze dropped to her mouth. “You could have run.”
    She should have. Every instinct screamed at her to.
    But then his hand slid up her waist, his calloused fingers branding her through the thin fabric of her ruined dress.
    Ava’s breath hitched.
    Obinna stilled, his eyes searching hers. **“Tell me to stop.”
    She didn’t.
    His kiss was fire and fury, a clash of teeth and tongue that stole the breath from her lungs. Ava arched into him, her fingers tangling in his locs as he backed her toward the bed.
    The storm outside raged on, thunder shaking the windows as Obinna’s hands mapped every inch of her—her waist, her hips, the curve of her throat.
    “You’re mine tonight,” he growled against her skin. “No lies. No games.”
    Ava gasped as his teeth grazed her collarbone. “And tomorrow?”
    Obinna pulled back just enough to meet her eyes, his own blazing with something fierce. “Tomorrow, we go to war.”
    Then his mouth was on hers again, and Ava let herself drown in him.

  • LOVE AND BULLET
    PART 5
    The world plunged into black.
    For one heartbeat—then two—Ava couldn’t see anything. The sudden absence of light left her disoriented, the only sound her own ragged breathing and Obinna’s sharp inhale beside her.
    Then—
    A faint beep.
    The tracker.
    It pulsed like a tiny red heartbeat on the floor where Obinna had dropped it.
    Ava’s training kicked in. This was her chance.
    She yanked against the silk scarves binding her wrists, the fabric tearing at her skin. The chair creaked—
    A hand clamped over her mouth.
    Obinna’s chest pressed against her back, his lips brushing her ear. “Don’t. Move.”
    His voice was barely a whisper, but it sent a tremor through her.
    Outside, the distant wail of sirens cut through the night.
    The Safe Room
    Obinna moved fast.
    Before Ava could react, he sliced through her bonds with a knife she hadn’t seen him draw. He hauled her up, his grip iron-tight around her wrist, and dragged her across the room.
    “What are you—?”
    “Shut up and follow.”
    A hidden panel in the wall slid open at his touch, revealing a narrow staircase descending into darkness. The air that rushed up was cool, tinged with the scent of metal and something earthy.
    Ava dug her heels in. “I’m not going down there.”
    Obinna turned, his eyes glinting in the dim pulse of the tracker’s light. “You’d rather die up here?”
    The sirens were closer now.
    Ava hesitated.
    Obinna leaned in. “Choose. Now.”
    She chose survival.
    Below the City
    The stairs led to a tunnel—smooth concrete walls, dim emergency lights, the hum of generators.
    Ava’s bare feet slapped against the cold floor as Obinna pulled her forward. The red glow of the tracker faded behind them, swallowed by the dark.
    “Where does this lead?” she demanded.
    “Away."
    “From whom?”
    Obinna glanced back at her, his smirk visible even in the low light. “You tell me, detective. Your people?” Or mine?”
    Ava’s stomach twisted.
    Because the truth was—she didn’t know.
    The tracker had been a failsafe. But if her team was coming, why hadn’t they warned her?
    Unless…
    Unless they’d written her off.
    The tunnel opened into a sprawling basement—part armory, part luxury hideout. Racks of weapons lined one wall. A sleek black SUV sat near a ramp leading up to a garage door.
    And in the center—a glass-walled office, monitors flickering with feeds from the penthouse above.
    Ava’s breath caught.
    On the screens, shadows moved through Obinna’s study—armed figures in tactical gear. Not NDLEA.
    “Who are they?” she whispered.
    Obinna’s jaw tightened. “My brother’s men.”
    Ava blinked. “Your… brother?”
    He didn’t answer. Instead, he crossed to a desk and yanked open a drawer, pulling out a sleek handgun. He checked the clip, then tossed it to her.
    Ava caught it on instinct.
    Obinna met her gaze. “You wanted to take me down?” He grabbed a second gun for himself. “Help me survive tonight, and I’ll let you try.”
    TO BE CONTINUED...
