The field did not sleep that night.

Yvonne Carter stood near the satellite unit, watching as security restrained Victor Lang. His suit was wrinkled now and his calm face was gone.

“What were you doing,” Yvonne asked.

Victor looked at her, then laughed softly.

“You already know,” he said. “You just do not want to believe it.”

“Answer the question,” she said.

“I was protecting Zenith,” Victor replied. “From you.”

Marcus stood beside Yvonne, silent but alert.

“By hacking our communication line,” Y

  • After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything    The Rescue And A Threat

    The control room was quiet againThe image from the Founder few minutes ago, the tension it left behind was still in the air.Yvonne stood near the main screen. Her eyes were still red, but she was no longer crying. She watched the map in front of her as if it could suddenly reveal the truth.Marcus stood beside her with his arms folded.Adrian was behind the analysts, watching the data scroll across the monitors.The smartwatch signal was still on the system.Weak and unstable.It blinked slowly on the screen.Adrian broke the silence first.“There is something we need to consider,” he said.Marcus turned slightly.“What?”Adrian pointed at the signal.“The Founder might not know we are tracking”Marcus thought about that.Adrian continued.“If he knew we were tracking, he would have said it or hurt Auntie Lin” “But he was just threatening, which is what he do”The room stayed quiet for a moment.The idea made sense.Yvonne felt a small spark of hope.Marcus looked at the team.“T

    Yvonne ran down the hallway as fast as she could.She was holding the smartwatch tight in her hand.Her mind was racing, the idea had hit her suddenly.She did not know if it would work, but she knew she had to try.She opened the door of the control room.Marcus looked up first. “Yvonne?” She walked straight toward the main console.“Replay the video,” she said quickly.Adrian frowned slightly.“What video?”“The one from the Founder,” she replied. “The one with Auntie Lin.”Marcus stepped closer.“Why?”Yvonne placed the smartwatch on the table.“Just play it.”Her voice was urgent.Adrian looked at Marcus for a second, then nodded to one of the analysts.“Bring it up.”The analyst typed quickly. A few seconds later the screen lit up.The video appeared, the same video they had received earlier.The screen showed Auntie Lin tied to the chair again.The room became quiet.Even though they had already seen it, the image still felt heavy.Yvonne stepped closer to the screen.“Pause i

  • After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything    The Line He Crossed

    The room was tense.Screens were dim, systems were quiet, access points were limited.Everything looked like they had stepped away but it was not real.Marcus stood near the main console, his eyes were fixed on the system logs.Adrian leaned against the table, arms crossed, watching every line that moved across the screen.Yvonne stood a few steps away.She was silent and waiting.Marcus finally spoke.“We can’t just wait,” he said.Adrian nodded.“He won’t release her just because we stepped back.”Yvonne looked at them.“What are you thinking?” she asked.Marcus turned slightly.“We test him,” he said.Yvonne frowned.“How?”Marcus walked closer to the screen.“We give him access,” he said. “But not real access.”Adrian’s eyes sharpened.“A fake code,” he said.Marcus nodded.“Yes.”Yvonne’s heart beat faster.“If he believes it’s real…” she said.“He will show his intentions,” Marcus finished.Adrian stepped forward.“And if he doesn’t?” he asked.Marcus looked at him.“Then we kno

    The room stayed quiet after the message.No one rushed to speak.No one tried to force a decision because they all knew.This was not something they could decide for Yvonne.She stood still, her phone in her hand.The image of Auntie Lin was still on the screen.Yvonne closed her eyes for a moment then she opened them again.Her face had changed.The fear was still there but something else had taken its place.Clarity.She looked at Marcus.“I’m stepping back,” she said.The words were calm.Adrian frowned immediately.“What do you mean?” he asked.Yvonne did not hesitate.“I’m leaving the mission,” she said.Silence filled the room again.Marcus watched her closely.Adrian shook his head.“No,” he said. “We need to think this through.”Yvonne looked at him.“I have,” she replied.Her voice did not shake this time.“He made it clear. If I stay, she suffers.”Adrian stepped closer.“And if you leave, you trust him?” he asked.Yvonne paused.That question mattered more than anything.Sh

    The room stayed heavy long after the video ended.No one spoke at first.The screen still showed the last frozen frame.Auntie Lin sat tied to a chair, her hands were bound tight, her head leaned to one side. The tape over her mouth made it hard for her to breathe or speak.Her eyes were open, she was alive but weak.Yvonne could not look away.Her chest ached with fear.Adrian was the first to move again, he cleared his throat and stepped forward.“Run it again,” he said.The analyst nodded and replayed the video.This time, they all watched closely.Not just with fear but with purpose.Every detail mattered now.The camera moved in the clip, it was not steady that meant it was handheld.Marcus stepped closer to the screen.“Pause there,” he said.The frame froze.Auntie Lin’s face filled the screen.Her eyes shifted slightly, like she was trying to say something.Yvonne leaned forward.“She’s trying to speak,” she said quietly.Adrian nodded.“But she can’t.”The tape was too tight

  • After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything    The Cost Of Belief

    Yvonne did not move.She stood still, her phone was still in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, she was shocked.The image of Auntie Lin stayed in her head. How she was tied to the chair, how her mouth was covered and the fear in her eyes.Yvonne’s fingers trembled slightly.Everything around her felt distant.The room.The voices outside.The world.None of it felt real anymore.Then the door opened.Yvonne did not react.Footsteps entered the room.“Yvonne?”Marcus called her.She still did not answer. Then Adrian came in behind him.Both of them stopped when they saw her face.Tears had already formed in her eyes.She had not even noticed when they started falling.Marcus moved closer.“Hey… look at me.”No response.Her eyes were still locked on the phone.Adrian stepped forward quickly and took the phone from her hand.Yvonne did not resist.It was like she had no strength left.Adrian looked down at the screen.His expression changed instantly.“What is this…” he sai
