The cells were underground.

Concrete walls. Metal doors. No windows.

Maya and Marcus were thrown into separate cells.

She could hear him through the wall. Breathing. Alive.

"Marcus?" she called.

"Here," he said. "You okay?"

"No," Maya said.

Hours passed. Or days. No way to track time.

Then footsteps.

A guard stopped at her cell.

He opened the door.

"Come with me," he said. "Quietly."

"Why?" Maya asked.

"Because Catherine Wei sent me," he said. "And if you want your son back, you move now."

    Wei had a plan."We need someone inside the compound," she said. "Someone Damson trusts. Someone who can relay information."They were in the safe house. Maya, Marcus, Cross, Wei. A small team of investigators."Who?" Cross asked."Me," Wei said. "I go back to Damson. Tell him I was released in exchange for information about you. Tell him I can help him eliminate any remaining threats.""He will not trust you," Marcus said."He will," Wei said. "Because I have something he wants.""What?" Maya asked."Information about his mother," Wei said.Everyone stopped."What information?" Cross asked.Wei pulled out a file."Damson's mother was not just a criminal," Wei said. "She was a thief. She stole millions from the Collective. From my organization. She hid it. Never told anyone."She opened the file.Bank statements. Transfers. Hidden accounts."Fifty million dollars," Wei said. "Hidden in Switzerland. In accounts only she knew about. Damson wants that money. With it, he can fund the Phoe

Move."She followed him down the corridor.Marcus appeared from another passage. Another guard with him.The guards led them through the compound quickly. Not running. Walking like they belonged there."How did Wei reach you?" Marcus asked."She did not," the guard said. "She reached someone she knew. That person reached me. The Phoenix is not as unified as Damson thinks. Some of us do not believe in what is

    The briefing was short."Five hundred soldiers," Cross said. "Full assault on the compound in two hours."On screen: aerial view of the Phoenix compound. Thirty buildings. Watchtowers. High walls."That is a fortress," the tactical commander said."We have forty-six hours before the broadcast," Cross said. "We plan. We execute. We end this."Maya was watching a different screen.Leo's facility. Live feed. Thomas was in Leo's room. Still there. Holding the syringe."We need to move him now," Maya said to Marcus."The military is forty minutes away," Marcus said."Then we go now," Maya said. "Just us.""They will kill him if we move," Marcus said."They will kill him anyway," Maya said.A soldier approached Cross."Ma'am. Communications intercepted. The broadcast is going live in thirty minutes.""Impossible," Cross said. "They said forty-eight hours.""They lied," the soldier said.Cross looked at Maya."Catherine Wei," she said. "She gave us the wrong timeline.""We need to move," May

    The safe house alarm went off at six in the morning.Not a slow alert.A full military evacuation protocol.Officers moved through the building fast. They grabbed Maya and Marcus without explanation."What is happening?" Maya demanded."The location is compromised," an officer said. "We are moving you. Now."They were loaded into an armored vehicle.As it pulled away, Maya looked back.Three black vans were pulling up to the safe house entrance.Not military vans.Unmarked. Dark. Professional.The Phoenix.They had found the location.The vehicle sped through the city. No destination announced. Radio chatter was encrypted. No one told them where they were going.Agent Cross called Marcus's phone."We have a problem," she said. "Bigger than Damson.""What?" Marcus asked."Catherine Wei is talking," Cross said. "She is giving us intelligence in exchange for a reduced sentence. And she just told us something that changes everything."She paused."Damson's mother was not the second in com

    The call came at three in the morning.Agent Cross was on the phone before Maya could fully wake up."Damson escaped," Cross said. "Two hours ago. From the federal detention facility."Maya felt her blood go cold."How?" she asked."Guards. Two of them were Phoenix members. They helped him walk out. We are searching now but he has a head start.""Where is Leo?" Maya demanded."Safe. We moved him immediately. New location. Even we do not know where he is.""I need to see him," Maya said."Not until we find Damson," Cross said. "Moving you increases risk.""I do not care about risk," Maya said. "I need to see my son.""No," Cross said. Her voice was hard. Final. "You stay where you are. You stay protected. We will find Damson."The line went dead.Marcus was awake now. He had been listening from the other side of the room."He is coming for us," he said."I know," Maya said.She stood up and walked to the window. Outside, the safe house was surrounded by military personnel. Guards at ev

    The man with the syringe stopped three feet away.Damson's mother held up her hand."Not yet," she said. "Let her understand first."She walked around Maya slowly. Like a predator circling prey."You thought I was in prison," Damson's mother said. "You thought the trial would proceed. You thought justice would be served."She laughed."But Catherine Wei does not believe in prisons. She believes in potential. She recognized that I was wasted in a cell. That I had value. That I could serve the Phoenix."Maya's hands were shaking."How?" she asked."Money," Damson's mother said simply. "Wei paid for my release. A corrupt judge. A falsified document. One phone call and I walked free."She stopped in front of Maya."But that is not why I am here," she continued. "I am here because Catherine Wei wanted me to be the one to tell you the truth. She wanted you to hear it from someone you know.""What truth?" Maya asked.Damson's mother smiled."That you were never going to win," she said. "From
