Chapter: Chapter 164: The Door in the PhotographPatricia forgot how to breathe.The photograph remained open on her phone, its grainy image showing a narrow concrete corridor, a metal door, and a small figure wearing the blue jacket she had last seen on Glen.She enlarged it with trembling fingers.The child's face remained hidden. The corridor walls were stained, the floor uneven, and a single light hung above the door. There was no visible window, no signboard, and nothing that immediately identified the building.But Patricia knew the jacket.She had watched Glen wear it so often that she remembered the small crease near the left elbow and the darker patch of fabric beneath the pocket.“Alex.”He turned at the sound of her voice.One look at her face was enough to make him cross the room.“What happened?”She handed him the phone.For several seconds, he said nothing. His eyes moved from the child's sleeve to the metal door, then back to the message beneath the image.STOP LOOKING FOR THE MAN. FIND THE DOOR.“Is it Glen?” Bethwe

Chapter: Chapter 163: The Man Who Left No RecordInspector Bethwel Kanda watched the security footage for the fourth time.The man appeared at 5:42 a.m., emerging from the records corridor with his head lowered and a brown envelope tucked beneath his arm. He wore a dark jacket, a cap, and gloves. He walked past the administrative offices without looking at the cameras.At 5:46 a.m., he disappeared through a side exit.Four minutes.That was all he had needed to move through a police station and leave behind a message that could change the direction of an investigation.“Pause it,” Alex said.Bethwel froze the image.“What do you see?”Alex leaned towards the monitor. “His right shoulder sits lower than his left. Look at the way he carries the envelope. He's compensating for something.”“An injury?”“Possibly. Or a habit. We shouldn't turn a posture into an identification.”Patricia stood behind them, her arms wrapped around herself. The call about Glen still echoed in her mind.You should be asking why they needed him.She had spent

Chapter: Chapter 162: The Evidence That Refused to FitBy six in the morning, Inspector Bethwel Kanda had three conflicting documents on his desk, two unanswered calls from the forensic team, and a photograph that threatened to dismantle everything they thought they knew.He had not slept.Neither had Patricia.She stood beside Alex in the small interview room at Nakuru County Police Station, staring at an enlarged copy of the photograph recovered from the vehicle. Daniel Waore stood beside a younger Ruth. Behind them was a building whose sign had been scratched away, leaving only a few letters.The date on the photograph matched the night Patricia had been transferred.That was the part she could not escape.“If this is genuine,” Bethwel said, “then Daniel was connected to Ruth before the transfer. But we still don't know what the connection was.”“Or whether the date is genuine,” Alex added.Bethwel looked at him.“You think someone changed it?”“I think someone wants us to accept the date before we establish where the photograph came f

Chapter: Chapter 161: The Night Number One Was ChosenPatricia turned the photograph over again.Daniel's signature remained unmistakable.Beneath it, the date stared back at her—the night she had been transferred from Grace's care.For several seconds, she could not speak.“Are you certain this is genuine?” she asked Bethwel.“The photograph is being examined. The signature hasn't been authenticated yet.”“Then we don't treat it as proof.”“Exactly.”Alex took a closer look without touching the evidence sleeve.“Whoever placed this in the vehicle wanted us to connect Daniel to the transfer.”“Or wanted us to believe he was responsible for Number One's selection,” Patricia replied.Rose had said nothing.Patricia turned to her.“Did you see Daniel that night?”Rose stared at the photograph.“Yes.”“Where?”“At the clinic.”“You told us you took me out of there.”“I did.”“And Daniel was present?”Rose nodded.Patricia's throat tightened.“Why didn't you tell me earlier?”“Because I didn't know what he was doing there. He arrived after th

Chapter: Chapter 160: The Hand That Numbered ThemPatricia read the message again.But you still don't know who gave her the number.She locked her phone and slipped it into her pocket.For once, she refused to let an anonymous sender dictate her next move.“Inspector, I want the vehicle examined before anyone touches anything else.”Bethwel nodded to the forensic officer. “Photograph the interior, collect every item separately, and check for fingerprints. Nobody assumes that the blood belongs to Mercy until the laboratory confirms it.”Patricia glanced at the stained gauze.“Could it belong to the person who drove the vehicle?”“Possibly,” Bethwel replied. “Or someone else entirely.”Alex stood beside the open rear door, studying the floor.“Look at the dust.”Several narrow streaks crossed the floor mat. One ended near a metal bracket beneath the seat.“Something heavy was dragged out,” he observed.Bethwel crouched beside him.“Could have been a person.”“Or a container.”Patricia looked toward the medical vehicle. Mercy remained

Chapter: Chapter 159: The Name Beneath the NameThe convoy reached the old railway warehouses twelve minutes later.Patricia had spent every second staring at her phone, waiting for another message. None came.That frightened her more than the messages themselves.Whoever was directing them had been unusually generous with warnings. Now that Mercy had been found, the silence felt deliberate.Bethwel stepped out first.“Two officers at every entrance. Nobody moves Mercy without my authorization.”A uniformed officer hurried toward him.“Inspector, she's inside the medical vehicle. Conscious, but distressed.”“Has she been examined?”“Yes. The medical officer is checking her injuries.”Patricia was already moving.“Where is she?”The officer pointed toward an ambulance parked beneath a broken security light.Inside, Mercy lay on a stretcher, a blanket covering her legs. Her left shoulder had been bandaged, and a faint bruise darkened her cheek. A female officer sat beside her while a medical officer checked her pulse.Mercy turned he

Chapter: Chapter 138: The Child Beneath the ChamberThe crying continued.Soft. Fragile. Almost human.Rebecca stood frozen beside the dead machine, one hand pressed over her mouth. She could still feel Jonathan's presence lingering inside her, like a shadow refusing to leave.Beneath the chamber, the child cried again.Claire tightened her grip around Anna.“Tell me you heard that.”“I heard it,” Sebastian replied.Gabriel stared at the control panel. “The main system is offline. Whatever we're hearing isn't coming through the speakers.”“Then where is it coming from?” Ethan demanded.Nobody answered.Daniel attempted to sit up. Pain twisted his face, and Sebastian pushed him gently back against the floor.“You're losing blood. Stop moving.”“There's no time.” Daniel grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. “Find the lower access hatch.”Grace's head snapped toward him.“Don't you dare.”Daniel looked at her with exhausted contempt.“You've spent twenty-eight years pretending that door doesn't exist.”Rebecca turned to Grace.“What door?”Grace's

Chapter: Chapter 137: The Voice Inside HerRebecca couldn't breathe.The hand holding hers was ice-cold, its fingers unnaturally long. She tried to pull away, but the grip tightened.“I've been inside you since the day you were born.”The voice belonged to Jonathan Bennett.Yet it sounded nothing like the man in the old photographs. It was deeper, layered with another voice beneath it, as though two people were speaking through the same mouth.“Let go of me!” Rebecca screamed.A burst of emergency lighting illuminated the chamber.The hand vanished.Rebecca stumbled backward and struck the control console. Ethan caught her before she fell.“Are you hurt?”She shook her head, but her eyes remained fixed on the black machine.“I felt him.”Ethan's expression tightened. “Where?”“Inside my mind.”Gabriel rushed to the console. “The system is rewriting its own security protocols. I'm losing access to every external connection.”“Disconnect the power,” Sebastian ordered.“I can't. The power isn't coming from the building anymore.”

Chapter: Chapter 136: The Fourth Was Never BornFor several seconds, nobody moved.Rebecca knelt on the cold floor with Anna in her arms, staring at the blood spreading across Daniel Bennett’s shirt. The gunshot still rang inside her head. Beside them, Grace stood with the bloodied key marked 247 clenched in her fist.“Daniel?” Rebecca whispered.His eyelids fluttered.“Dad!”She reached for him, but one of Grace’s guards stepped between them, raising his weapon.“Stay where you are.”Rebecca looked up at Grace. “You shot him!”Grace glanced at Daniel as though he were an inconvenience rather than a wounded man.“He should have known better than to interfere.”“You're his mother!”“And you are wasting precious time.”Claire had dropped beside Anna. She pressed trembling fingers against her daughter's neck, searching for a pulse.“She's alive,” Claire breathed. “Anna, sweetheart, please. Open your eyes.”Anna didn't respond.Ethan stood several feet away, one hand gripping the wall. His face had gone pale, and his breathing came in

Chapter: Chapter 135: The Man Who Came Back“She's the reason I disappeared.”Daniel Bennett's gun remained pointed at Anna's chest.Rebecca stood between them, unable to reconcile the man before her with the father whose voice she had heard inside the machine.“Dad?”Daniel's eyes flickered toward her.“Rebecca, move away from her.”“No.”“Please. You don't understand what she is.”Anna laughed bitterly.“Still telling people what they should believe, Daniel?”His grip tightened around the gun.“Be quiet.”“Why? Afraid I'll tell her what you did?”Rebecca turned toward Anna.“What is she talking about?”Daniel stepped forward.“Rebecca, listen to me. Whatever she tells you, don't let her near that machine.”“You vanished. We heard your voice from inside it. Then you appeared out of nowhere with a gun pointed at a woman who claims to be Claire's daughter. I think I've earned some answers.”Daniel's face tightened.“You have.”For several seconds, he said nothing.Then he lowered the gun slightly.“Anna was never supposed to be

Chapter: Chapter 134: The Daughter Who Vanished“Bring my granddaughter to me.”Jonathan's voice rolled through the underground chamber.Rebecca spun toward the staircase.“Where is that coming from?”Gabriel checked the console, his fingers flying across the controls.“Everywhere. The sound is being transmitted through the building's internal network.”“Can you shut it off?”“I'm trying.”The speakers crackled.“You can run, Rebecca. You can hide. But you cannot escape what you are.”Rebecca clenched her fists.“Then come and get me yourself!”The laughter stopped.“Gladly.”Every screen went black.A heavy metallic impact sounded beneath the floor.Claire seized Rebecca's arm.“We have to move.”“Not until we find Anna.”“Rebecca, listen to me. If she's really coming here, we need to know why.”“She said she's the only person who can shut down the machine.”“And what if that was a trap?”Rebecca looked at her.“Would you risk your daughter's life on that possibility?”Claire's face crumpled.“No.”“Neither will I.”Ethan moved to

Chapter: Chapter 133: The Third ChildRebecca stared at the photograph.Three newborns lay side by side beneath the harsh lights of a hospital room. She recognized herself and Ethan immediately. The third baby was smaller, wrapped in a white blanket, with a dark identification band around one tiny wrist.Someone had deliberately scratched out the child's face.Beneath the image, the words remained unmistakable.SUBJECT THREE IS ALIVE.“No,” Ethan whispered.Rebecca turned to him. “You remember something?”He shook his head, but his expression betrayed him.“Ethan.”“I said I don't remember.”“Then why are you frightened?”He looked at the photograph again.“Because when I was a child, they used to tell me there had been another one.”“Another what?”“Another subject. I thought they were trying to frighten me.”Claire approached the screen.“Where did you hear that?”“Zurich. During one of the examinations, a researcher mentioned Subject Three. When I asked who it was, they sedated me.”Gabriel moved to the console.“There
