Alden is forced into a fake engagement with FBI undercover agent Theron to infiltrate arms dealer Vaughn's network.
One is a playboy heir; the other, a deep-cover operative.
"How many bugs did you plant in my house?"
"More than you'd like to know."
Gunfights, chases, and lines that blur—
Theron takes a bullet for Alden. Alden drags him out of a rain-soaked cemetery and back to safety.
"I don't need your protection."
"Then who protects me?"
When Vaughn kidnaps Alden's father, Theron ignores extraction orders, straps on his gear, and pushes open the door:
"Where you go, I go."
When the mission ends, Alden slides a ring across the table:
"No cameras. No mission. This time, it's real."
