Sophie stood with her back to the ocean, her mouth moving silently as if she were saying something. Then, with her eyes closed, she fell backward.
James' pupils dilated rapidly, panic surging in his heart like a tide. He struggled, stumbling forward, but all he saw was Sophie disappearing into the depths of the sea.
"Sophie!" James cried out, his voice breaking. In that brief moment, it felt as if his heart had been torn apart.
The two mercenaries watched the scene indifferently, then turned away bored. One of them spoke into the radio with a cold detachment, "Boss, the job's done."
James collapsed to the ground, his vision blurring into a sea of red. He hadn't forgotten the words Sophie had mouthed to him just before jumping.
"Avenge me."
James turned to look at the two mercenaries and said icily, "Tell Odie there's no peace between Burke International and him."
The mercenaries looked at James, smirking in disbelief at his vow of vengeance against Odie.
As they approached James with their guns, a gunshot suddenly echoed from outside the cave. The mercenaries turned towards the sound, hearing the rapid approach of a large group. They tried to flee but were quickly apprehended.
Colby and Adler, leading a sizable team, arrived. Adler spotted the disheveled James and shouted, "Colby! James is here!"
Hearing this, Colby rushed to James, "Where's Sophie? Where is she?"
"She's down there," James replied, his voice hoarse and dry.
At his answer, Colby froze.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
