Patterson's face was on every airport. Every border crossing. Every news station.

But he was not on any flight. Not under any real name.

Wei was coordinating the international search from a secure federal facility.

"He is using diplomatic channels," Wei said in a briefing. "He has contacts in the State Department. We have to assume he has false diplomatic credentials."

"Where would he go?" an investigator asked.

"Anywhere," Wei said. "But my guess is a country with no extradition treaty. South

    The decision was made at dawn.Maya, Marcus, and Nan sat in the kitchen.Leo was still sleeping."We go to Switzerland," Maya said. "We confront Vasquez. We find a way to deactivate the children.""It is a trap," Marcus said again."I know," Maya said. "But we cannot leave two hundred children enslaved. We cannot let them activate in one hundred seventy-seven days. We have to try."Nan pulled out her list.The photographs were old. Some dating back forty years.But each one had a name. A location. A date of disappearance."I have been documenting these children for decades," Nan said. "Trying to find them. Trying to save them. And I believe many of them are part of Vasquez's program now."She pointed to specific photographs."This one," she said. "Disappeared in 1985. Age seven. From São Paulo, Brazil."She showed another."This one. Disappeared in 1992. Age nine. From Moscow, Russia."Another."This one. Disappeared in 2003. Age six. From Mumbai, India."The pattern was clear.Childr

    Three days after the extraction.They were safe.Or they thought they were.The safe house felt different now. It felt like home. Like a real home. Not a military facility.Nan was teaching Leo to bake bread."You have to let it rise," she said. "You cannot rush time. You cannot force it. You just have to be patient and let things become what they are supposed to become."Leo watched the dough rise. His enhanced eyes tracking every minute change.But his smile was real. Human. Not optimized.Marcus was on the phone with Kowalski, discussing the government's response to the remaining Phoenix cells."We have seventeen confirmed locations," Kowalski said. "We are moving on them simultaneously. By tomorrow, we should have eliminated eighty percent of Phoenix operations.""And Vasquez?" Marcus asked."Still missing," Kowalski said. "But with the extraction of Leo complete, she has lost her primary asset. She will either disappear or make a desperate move."Marcus hung up.He felt cautious

    Day 15.Leo was learning to cook.Nan had insisted on it."A man who cannot feed himself is not a man," she had said.So Leo stood on a stool next to Nan in the kitchen. His enhanced hands learning to chop vegetables.But his enhanced mind was struggling.Not with the technique. With the decision-making."How do you know when the onions are done?" Leo signed.Nan did not look at the pan."You feel it," she signed back. "Your hands know. Your nose knows. Your eyes know. You do not think about it. You just know."Leo tried again.His hands moved precisely. Too precisely. Like a machine."No," Nan said. "Slower. Messier. Like you are not sure.""But I am sure," Leo signed. "I can calculate the exact moment based on heat and chemical reaction."Nan put down her knife.She took Leo's hands in hers."Listen to me," she signed slowly. "Being smart is good. But being alive is better. Cooking is not about knowing. Cooking is about feeling. About being unsure. About trying again if you fail."L

    Maya made her decision the next morning.She would not fight Vasquez directly.She would not try to force Leo to leave.Instead, she would go home.She would get Marcus. She would get Nan. She would gather the people who loved Leo.And then she would come back.Because Leo would not listen to just her. But he might listen to all of them.She asked for a meeting with Vasquez.The guard brought her to a communication room.Vasquez appeared on screen."I want to go home," Maya said. "I want to see my family. Then I will come back."Vasquez studied her for a long moment."You are going to try to convince Leo to leave," Vasquez said."Yes," Maya said. "But not the way you think. Not by force. By showing him what he is missing.""He is not missing anything," Vasquez said. "His cognitive abilities have increased by eighty percent. His emotional stability is optimal. His life is better.""Maybe," Maya said. "But he is still a child. And children need family. Not just enhancement."Vasquez was

    Maya was in a small room.Not a cell. A guest quarters. But locked from the outside.The walls were white. The bed was comfortable. There was a window showing mountains.Vasquez was leaving her alone.Deliberately.Letting her sit with what she had seen.Leo being enhanced. Leo choosing to stay. Leo no longer being her son.But across the country, in a federal safe house, Marcus was doing something different.He was cooking.Nan was in the kitchen with him. She was ancient. Her hands moved slowly. But they moved with purpose."You are doing it wrong," Nan said in her raspy voice. "The garlic goes in first. Then the onions. You cannot rush it.""I am not rushing it," Marcus said. But he was. He was frustrated. Anxious. Missing Maya.Leo was supposed to be in the room next door. In therapy. With a specialist who understood trauma and enhancement protocols.But Nan had sent Marcus away."That boy needs to talk without a man in the house worrying," Nan had said. "He needs safety. He needs

    Maya did not wait for plans.She did not wait for government approval.She took Marcus, Leo, and three of Kowalski's most trusted soldiers and went to Switzerland.Direct action. No bureaucracy. No delays.The monastery was perched on a mountainside. Isolated. Fortified. But not impenetrable.They arrived at night."This is insane," Marcus said. "Patterson has guards. Weapons. We cannot.""We can," Maya said. "And we will."They rappelled down the cliff face. Approached from the side Patterson would not expect.The guards were professional. But they were not expecting an assault from a deaf woman and a handful of soldiers.Maya moved through the monastery like she was possessed.Finding guards. Neutralizing them. Moving forward.The soldiers followed her lead.By the time Patterson's security reacted, they were inside the main building.Maya cornered Patterson in his private chambers.He was not what she expected.He was old. Frail. Sitting in a wheelchair. Looking like he was already
