FORGOTTEN SON

Forgotten ??son 7

As Jones' eyes locked onto the figure, his expression turned from triumph to concern. "Dan, wait," Jones said, his voice low and serious. Daniel turned back, noticing the change in Jones' demeanor. "What's wrong?" he asked, following Jones' gaze into the shadows.

The figure didn't move, but Daniel could sense its presence, like a lingering threat.

"It's him," Daniel muttered, his mind racing. "The one who's been tracking us."

Jones' eyes narrowed. "You mean...Viper?"

Daniel nodded, his eyes still fixed on the figure. Viper, a notorious criminal mastermind, had been a thorn in their side for months. Daniel and Jones had thought they'd finally shaken him off their trail, but it seemed he'd caught up with them again.

Without a word, Daniel and Jones exchanged a knowing glance. They knew they had to act fast, to protect themselves and their loved ones from Viper's sinister plans. They began to move stealthily towards the shadows, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

As they approached the shadows, the figure slowly emerged, its features becoming clearer in the dim light. Dan's instincts were on high alert, his muscles tensed, ready for a fight. Jones stood firmly beside him, his eyes fixed on the figure with a mixture of caution and determination.

Viper, tall and lean, with piercing eyes and a scar above his left eyebrow, sneered at them. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The dynamic duo, thinking they can take me down."

Dan's eyes locked onto Viper's, his mind racing with strategies and counterattacks. "We're not going down without a fight, Viper. You know that."

Viper chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. You two are no match for me. I have the upper hand this time."

With a sudden movement, Viper pulled out a small device from his pocket and pressed a button. The air around them began to hum, and a strange energy field materialized, trapping Daniel and Jones inside.

"You see, I've been working on a little something," Viper said, his eyes gleaming with malice. "A technology that will give me the power to control the city. And you two are just the pawns I need to make it happen."

Daniel and Jones exchanged a desperate glance, their minds racing against time to find a way out of this deadly trap. The energy field was getting stronger, suffocating them. They knew they had to act fast, or risk becoming Viper's latest victims.

As Viper's plan unfolded, Daniel found himself dragged away, struggling against his captors. He caught a glimpse of Jones, crumpling to the ground, unconscious. Dan's heart raced with fear for his brother's safety.

The last thing Daniel saw was Viper's sinister grin before he was tossed into a dark van, speeding away into the night. Dan's mind raced, thinking of Jones and their unfinished mission.

Meanwhile, Jones slowly came to, groggily assessing his surroundings. He was alone, lying on the floor, with no sign of Daniel or Viper. Panic set in as he realized Daniel was gone.

Dan's world was a blur of pain and darkness. He was barely conscious, his body battered and bruised. Viper's goons had taken turns beating him, trying to break his spirit.

So Daniel was misled into believing that his own brother Jones was responsible for his capture.

Dan's eyes flashed with anger and betrayal. "Jones? You're telling me that my own brother is behind this?" he spat, his voice laced with venom.

Viper nodded, a sly smile spreading across his face. "That's right, Daniel. Jones has been playing you all along. He's been working with me to take down our common enemies and share the spoils."

Dan's mind reeled in shock, his thoughts racing with doubts and questions. Could it be true? Had Jones really betrayed him? He couldn't believe it, but the seed of doubt had been planted.

Viper continued to taunt him, revealing more "evidence" of Jones' supposed treachery. Dan's anger and hurt boiled over.

Dan's mind reeled in shock. "No... Jones would never...," he muttered, trying to defend his brother.

Viper laughed. "Oh, but he will. You see, I have proof that Jones is behind your abduction. You're just a pawn in his game, Dan. And now, you're going to help me take him down."

Dan's heart raced as Viper showed him a manipulated video, making it seem like Jones had indeed betrayed him. Dan's doubts and fears began to creep in.

Jones arrived at the meeting point, a deserted warehouse on the outskirts of town. He had been instructed to come alone, and his instincts were screaming warning signs. But he had to know the truth - was Daniel in trouble? Was Viper behind it all?

As he entered the warehouse, he saw Daniel, his eyes blazing with anger. "Jones, you traitor!" Daniel spat, his fists clenched.

Jones' heart sank. "Dan, what's going on? What have they told you?"

Daniel snarled. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You're working with Viper, aren't you?"

Jones' eyes widened in shock. "No, Dan! That's not true! Something's gone terribly wrong!"

But Daniel wasn't listening. With a fierce cry, he charged at Jones, tackling him to the ground. The two brothers wrestled, their blows fueled by anger and betrayal.

Meanwhile, Viper watched from the shadows, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. His plan was working perfectly - the brothers were destroying each other, just as he had intended.

But just as it seemed like Daniel was gaining the upper hand, Jones managed to land a lucky punch, sending Daniel crashing to the ground. As Jones stood up, his eyes locked onto Viper, who was now revealed in the light.

"Viper, you're behind this!" Jones snarled, his anger and betrayal boiling over.

Viper chuckled, his eyes glinting with malice. "Ah, Jones. You're just in time to witness the final act of my plan..."
