The cold, damp air of the tunnel bit into Noah’s skin as the grip on his jacket collar tightened.

Noah tried to lift his hands, but his arms felt heavy, like wet bags of sand. The white knock-out gas still hovered thick in the air, but the stranger standing over him was wearing a dark rubber respirator mask covering his nose and mouth.

The man’s sharp blue eyes glinted under the dim red emergency light. His face was identical to Noah’s, but the long, jagged surgical scar running from his left c

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   The Black Truck

    The thick black smoke rising above the Manhattan street corner looked like a dark stain against the bright morning sky.Noah pulled the IV needle from his left arm, ignoring the small drop of blood that leaked onto his jacket sleeve, and sprinted down the wooden planks of Pier 42 toward the city street."Noah, wait!" Luke shouted, running right behind him with his heavy combat boots pounding hard against the pavement.Maya pulled her dark trench coat tight around her shoulders, her sharp blue eyes fixed on the smoke as she followed close behind. Marcus stayed back for two seconds to secure Victor and Evelyn to the pier's iron railing before sprinting after his brothers.Noah ran as fast as his legs could carry him, turning the corner onto South Street. Two blocks away, the intersection was in total chaos.The black utility van that Caleb had been driving lay flipped over on its passenger side across the double yellow lines. Its front windshield was completely shattered into a spiderwe

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   The Thirteenth Child

    The cold river wind blew across Pier 42, carrying the sharp scent of damp salt and diesel fumes.Noah stood on the wet wooden planks, his heart thumping hard inside his chest. The icy numbness in his right hand was crawling higher now, reaching halfway up his forearm. His fingers felt heavy, stiff, and pale, almost blue under the bright morning sun.He stared at the young woman standing near the wooden ladder.She wore a long dark trench coat, its hem stained with river water. Her dark hair was pulled back, revealing the sharp outline of a black lotus emblem tattooed right on the left side of her neck. Her blue eyes were identical to Noah’s, clear and cold as winter ice."Who are you?" Julian demanded, stepping in front of Sarah to shield her. He reached into his jacket, keeping his posture firm. "Arthur Vance's journal only listed twelve children."The woman let out a small, quiet laugh. She didn't look afraid of Julian, Marcus, or Luke standing around her. She casually spun the tiny

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   The Sixty-Second Code

    The sharp, creepy tune of the small mahogany music box chimed continuously in the damp morning air, its high-pitched metal gears grinding softly.00:48... 00:47... 00:46...The red digital numbers on the front of the wooden box blinked rapidly, casting a bloody glow across Victor’s pale, trembling hands."Drop the bag, Victor!" Evelyn screamed, her cold, controlled voice completely shattering into pure hysteria. She took two steps backward on her high heels, her eyes wide with terror as she pointed her black revolver at Victor's chest. "Throw it into the river! Throw it now!""No!" Isaac shouted from the deck of the tugboat, his white hair whipping across his face in the cold river wind. "If the box hits the water, the salt pressure sensor will trigger the explosive charge immediately! It has to be disarmed with the code!"Victor’s hands were shaking so hard the heavy leather bag almost slipped from his fingers. "Noah! What is the code?! What did Arthur tell you?!"Noah stood frozen o

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   Pier 42 at Dawn

    The cold, salty breeze blowing off the East River hit Noah’s face as he stepped out of the narrow alleyway near the docks.The sky above Manhattan was turning a dark, bruised purple, signaling that sunrise was less than forty minutes away. The tall steel cranes and old wooden shipping crates of Pier 42 stood like giant black shadows against the grey water.Noah adjusted the heavy collar of his dark coat, keeping his right hand deep inside his pocket. His fingers were wrapped tightly around the cold glass surface of the red vial–the single liquid sequence that held both his mother’s life and his own survival.A sudden, sharp pain flared behind his eyes, making his vision blur for a brief second. A cold sweat broke out across his forehead.Evelyn's words from the hospital hallway rang loudly in his head: You have less than forty-eight hours to live unless you drink it.Noah swallowed hard, forcing his legs to stay steady as he took slow, deliberate steps across the wet wooden planks of

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   The Stairwell Fire

    The thick black smoke swirled around the concrete stairwell, making the sharp smell of burnt plastic and gunpowder bite into Noah’s throat.Noah pulled Clara back behind the thick steel frame of the heavy fire door. His heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped bird, but his eyes never left Victor Reed."Get behind me, Clara," Noah whispered through his teeth, keeping his body between her and the barrel of the assault rifle.Victor laughed, a dry, cold sound that echoed off the damp concrete walls. He took two slow steps up the stairs, his heavy black combat boots clicking against the hard steps. His face was stained with dark charcoal soot, and his dark eyes burned with an unnatural, furious light."Brother Zero," Victor mocked, his voice steady as he tightened his grip on the black rifle stock. "You spent thirty years thinking you were the golden child. My favorite. The one Sarah loved the most. But you’re just an empty vessel William dragged out of an incubator when his real i

  • He Chose Her, Then Lost Me Forever   The Truth in Room 512

    The blaring fire alarm in the hallway suddenly cut out, leaving behind a heavy, painful silence in Room 512.The soft, rhythmic BEEP... BEEP... BEEP of Sarah's heart monitor was the only sound echoing in the dim hospital room.Noah felt as if all the cold air had been sucked out of his chest. He stood frozen by his mother's bedside, his fingers still wrapped gently around Sarah's warm hand. He looked at Gabriel, whose eyes were red and filled with fresh tears."What did you say?" Noah whispered. His voice sounded distant to his own ears, like a echo traveling down a long, dark tunnel. "Say that again, Gabriel."Gabriel swallowed hard, taking one step forward into the room. He held the folded white paper out in his trembling right hand."The real Noah Reed died of severe lung failure twenty-four hours after Mom gave birth in Manhattan General," Gabriel said, his voice cracking with emotion. "William knew Sarah would break completely if she lost her firstborn child. So William took an i
