Originally published in Bridging the Gap: Pathways as the conclusion of a two-part novella. Be sure to read part one, Journeys, first.

Peter Caine is abducted by a rogue Shaolin seeking revenge against his father, Kwai Chang Caine. While Peter endures unimaginable psychological torment and physical torture designed to shatter him, Caine rallies family and friends, including Paul Blaisdell, Kermit, and Lo Si, to mount a desperate rescue. Though they succeed in bringing him home, Peter is left haunted—his body battered and his spirit scarred—as he struggles to confront the deep trauma and the aftermath of his captivity. Amid the pain, the unwavering love and support of those closest to him become his lifeline in a battle to reclaim himself.

After Caine's three-month disappearance and subsequent reappearance as his alter ego "Rocky Dalton," the relationship between father and son seems to be back to square one. What worries Lo Si most is the extent of what Caine is willing to do to protect Peter.

Against the backdrop of a high-stakes murder investigation, Peter must confront the trauma of his past and a personal medical crisis, drawing strength from the unwavering love of family to face the most challenging fight of his life.

The plot to assassinate the president of Costa Brava has been foiled by Caine’s defeat of the brujo (sorcerer) and Peter’s refusal to pull the trigger. So why is Peter still haunted by the wolf vision in daytime and terrible nightmares that prevent any rest?
