Ghost walked into the pit to hunt a killer. He rode out with a fighter’s arms locked around his waist.

Ghost. The Steel Phoenixes’ stealth man. Ice-blue eyes, a bullet scar over his heart, and a mouth that runs at double speed everywhere except on a job. The kid they almost buried three years ago, now lethal, and nobody has ever gotten close enough to touch him.

Caleb doesn’t talk in the ring. Six-three, with twenty years of martial arts in a body built for one thing. He walks in, ends it, and sends the money to the hospital where his little brother has been on a ventilator since someone beat the kid half to death. Sixteen wins, a bill that keeps growing, and something in him getting darker with every man he beats down. Then the man who owns the pit has a half-dead fighter dragged into the ring, says his brother’s name and his hospital over the speakers, and tells Caleb to finish it.

He says no. It’s the last thing that’s his.

Ghost is hiding in that crowd because the man who just gave Caleb the order is the one the Steel Phoenixes are hunting. Then Caleb looks straight at him across two hundred screaming strangers, and Ghost holds the look two seconds too long, and the man he’s after spots him first.

Two enforcers hit the floor, and then Ghost is riding out of the pit with Caleb pressed against his back, and for the first time he can remember, his head goes quiet.

Now Caleb has two weeks before he walks back into that ring, or his brother pays for it. And Ghost, whose whole life is about leading the way, has to stand outside in the dark and let him.

Two weeks under one roof. Training every day on a mat where Caleb ends up on top of him and forgets to let go. Ghost keeps telling himself it’s nothing, until…

“I had you filed under never—”
“Refile me.”
