Myla was running, her bare feet slapping against endless ground. She was trying to reach Hayden who was far ahead of her, his chair sinking into the earth as though it had turned to quicksand. He wasn’t panicking or calling out for help, he just silently stared at her, his hazel eyes locked on hers as the ground devoured him.

“Hayden!” She screamed in panic. She pushed harder, arms pumping, calves burning trying to reach him but no matter how hard she tried, the space between them never reduced

    “Well,” Brandon said, his voice dry as he theatrically swept his hands in front of him as though he were a butler welcoming guests into a palace ballroom. “Welcome to my humble abode.”Jared ignored him, his eyes scanning the modest living room as he shut the door behind him. The room was sparse enough that he could see every corner in it. It had just one curtained exit leading into other sections of the house. Brandon quietly set his keys on the narrow table beside the entrance. “I know it’s different from the luxury you’re used to after selling your soul,” he muttered as he walked deeper into the room, as if there wasn’t a knife at his neck. “But you don’t have to be such an obvious snob.”“Who else lives here?” Jared asked, eyeing the man’s movement intently. “My wife isn’t home at the moment,” Brandon replied evenly. Jared took in the dusty furniture, clean squares on the wall that showed that there used to be pictures there before, the empty beer bottles, and clothing article

    Brandon froze, realizing his captor wasn’t joking.“W… work for?” he stammered, raising his hands in the air to show surrender. “What do you mean? I’m just… I work at this hospital, man.” Jared kept his head down, using the bill of his ballcap as a shield. Coupled with the face mask, his face was practically unrecognizable. “See man,” Brandon continued, his eyes darting around for a witness or anything he could quickly grab and use for defense. “If it’s money you want, I don’t have much, but I have $200 in the car.” He slowly started lowering his hands. “If you let me…"“I told you,” Jared hissed, his voice frighteningly calm as he eased the tension on the blade before dragging it down a little, giving him a shallow cut. “No sudden movements.” Brandon winced when more ribbons of dark crimson bled down the side of his neck, staining the blue collar of his orderly uniform.“Fuck, fuck, calm down,” he pleaded quickly, his voice low and slow like speaking to a spooked animal. As a tra

    “What the—” The young nurse yelped as she spun around violently, her back slamming against her car door as she raised her car key in front of her in defense. Jared halted two steps away and quickly pulled down his face mask. “Sorry to startle you, ma’am.” "Oh my God. I almost attacked you!" she gasped, clutching her chest as her eyes swept over his broad frame, recognition clicking in her features. Jared’s eyes twinkled with silent amusement at her words. He placed his hands loosely in his jacket pockets, his dark eyes studying her face carefully. "Wait, you are... you are Mr Jared, right?” She asked, her posture relaxing, her tense shoulders dropping. “You were in the hospital room the other day with Mr. and Mrs. Oakley. You have been all over the news recently."He eyed the blank, bubbly, innocent curiosity in her eyes. There was no tenseness in her frame to show she was on guard towards his presence. If anything, she was too trusting around someone who had just snuck up behind

    “Everyone is going bonkers over your video, Mr Lotto.” Clara, the journalist who had famously interviewed Myla and Hayden months ago, said with a soft laugh. “It’s been less than 48 hours since it dropped, and I have become the nation’s touch point for the truth.” “Thank you for airing that video on such short notice,” Jared said, his deep voice carrying in the quiet room. “I know you have a very busy schedule, Clara, and I appreciate you actually reaching out when you saw my email.”She leaned back in her high-backed chair, shaking her head. “Thank me?” she countered, her eyes wide on the video call. “No, sir. Thank you for trusting me to be the one to break this to the world.”She pointed toward the camera with the pen in her hand. “Do you have any idea how many journalists dream about getting something like this? A military cover-up? A high-level government conspiracy? A survivor willing to go on record?” She waved her hand excitedly. “Oh my.” Jared stared at the laptop screen, h

    “He is not here,” Beck replied firmly. “If you cannot drop a direct message for him right now, then you are completely wasting your breath.”Voss let out a heavy sigh over the line. “I know you know about the so-called operation by now. So listen to me carefully, and relay this message to him.” The commander paused, his tone turning incredibly sharp and threatening. “He is being ordered to keep his mouth completely shut. Whatever games he is playing with the press with this whole leaking of the files shenanigans, he needs to stop immediately. I am only reaching out with this warning as a favour because I respect him.”Shock radiated through the room, three of them exchanging surprised and horrified looks. The military really did think Jared was the one behind the whole thing, as they had feared. Hayden’s grip tightened around the phone. “You’ve got the wrong idea,” he said evenly. “Jared isn’t the one who leaked those files.”Voss let out a dry, borderline bitter chuckle. “You expect

    “Phantom wolf?” a deep voice boomed loudly through the phone speaker as soon as Hayden accepted the call. Beck jolted with surprise at the sudden use of Jared’s old army nickname. He looked up, meeting Hayden’s eyes, which were narrowed with shock and suspicion. “I know you can hear me loud and clear,” the man said, his voice incredibly arrogant and authoritative. “Answer me, Lotto.”Hayden’s mouth tightened with irritation at the arrogant man, frowning at the phone with his expression completely guarded. “Mr Lotto is not anywhere around here right now.” For a second, there was nothing but static on the line. “I need to speak with Sergeant Jared Lotto.” The man demanded, his voice authoritatively demanding. “Get the phone to him now.”Hayden exchanged a quick glance with Beck before answering. “Who’s asking?”“My name is Richard Voss.”The name meant nothing to Hayden. Beck’s body, on the other hand, went rigid, and his jaw slowly clenched.“Well, you are currently talking to his
