Safehouse Perimeter – 3:47 AM

The night air smelled of ozone and impending violence as we stepped outside, weapons drawn and senses hyperalert. The safehouse's exterior lights had been killed by Twin B's system infiltration, leaving us dependent on starlight and the faint glow of Griffin's enhanced optics. Every shadow could conceal death, every whisper of wind through the trees could mask approaching footsteps.

Twin B stood motionless at the treeline, positioned exactly where he'd appeared on the surveillance feed. The distance between us was perhaps fifty meters—close enough to see his face clearly, far enough that any normal human would need a rifle for an accurate shot. But nothing about this confrontation fell within normal parameters.

His left arm hung limp at his side, the result of some past injury that hadn't healed properly—or perhaps had been left broken deliberately, another of Michael's tests to forge strength through suffering. Despite the obvious disability, Twin B's

    Aircraft – En Route to Unknown Location The sunrise painted the clouds gold and crimson as Griffin bandaged Eli's wounds with supplies from the VTOL's comprehensive medical kit, his hands working with steady precision despite the aircraft's subtle vibration through the atmosphere. They flew above commercial air traffic lanes, their stealth coating and electronic countermeasures rendering them invisible to both civilian radar and military tracking systems. Below them, the world continued its mundane rotation while they planned the next phase of a war that most people would never know was being fought.Eli sat motionless as Griffin worked, his mismatched eyes focused on something beyond the horizon line visible through the aircraft's windows. The partial neural deprogramming had left him in a state of psychological flux—memories returning in fragments, emotional responses fluctuating between human warmth and conditioned coldness. He was healing, but healing from the type of damage he'

    Undisclosed Research Facility – 72 Hours Later The sterile white lab hummed with the sound of machines that never slept, their screens casting an eerie blue-green glow over Eli's face as Griffin adjusted the neural stabilizer with the precision of a surgeon. The facility stretched deep underground, carved from bedrock and shielded from satellite detection—a ghost facility that officially didn't exist, funded by black budgets and darker intentions. The air tasted of ozone and antiseptic, heavy with the weight of secrets and suffering.Griffin's fingers danced over the holographic interface, lines of code streaming across translucent displays as he worked to unravel years of psychological conditioning and neural manipulation. Each adjustment required delicate calibration—too aggressive and Eli's mind could fragment completely, too gentle and the embedded programming would reassert itself like a virus in his bloodstream."It'll take time," Griffin murmured, his voice barely audible ove

    ESCAPE Lab Underground Tunnel – 17 Minutes Later Smoke filled the corridors like malevolent fog as alarms wailed their electronic dirge, emergency lighting casting everything in hellish red that made the sterile white walls look like they were painted with blood. The acrid smell of burning electronics mixed with cordite and something else—something organic and unpleasant that spoke of violence recently concluded. James led the way through passages that had become a maze of shadows and death, his massive frame moving with surprising grace as gunfire echoed behind them like thunder in a confined space.The facility's defensive systems had held longer than expected, forcing their attackers to breach through multiple choke points while automated defenses extracted a bloody toll. But corporate mercenaries were equipped for exactly this type of scenario, and their equipment included countermeasures for every defensive protocol the facility could deploy. What had begun as an organized ta

    Lab Perimeter – 3 Minutes Later Black SUVs screeched to a halt outside the facility's concealed entrance, their armored hulls gleaming like beetles in the pre-dawn darkness. Armed men spilled out like shadows given substance, their movements coordinated with the precision of operators who had conducted this type of raid dozens of times before. Night vision goggles and tactical gear made them look less than human—death walking on two legs, equipped with the latest in military technology and utterly devoid of conscience."Pharmaceutical strike team," James growled, slamming the reinforced door shut with a metallic clang that echoed through the facility like a death knell. His massive frame blocked the portal completely as magnetic locks engaged with electronic whines. "Corporate mercenaries. The kind that make problems disappear permanently."Through the facility's external cameras, they could see the assault team deploying with textbook efficiency. Snipers took overwatch positions on
