No one spoke.

Amelia's words seemed to hang in the library.

Damian stared at her.

"You're sure?"

Amelia pressed her fingers against her temple.

"I don't know."

"You said you remembered him."

"I remembered the ring."

Her breathing became uneven.

"The black stone."

"The silver band."

"I saw it in my memory."

Noah stepped closer.

"What else did you see?"

Amelia closed her eyes.

"A room."

"White walls."

"A woman screaming."

"A baby crying."

She swallowed.

"And Samuel."

"What was he doing?"

    Amelia reached the bottom of the stairs first."Sophie!"Her voice echoed through the hallway.Nothing.She turned sharply.Damian caught up with her."Amelia, wait.""I heard her scream.""I know.""Then where is she?"Bennett and Nathan rushed down the stairs behind them.The corridor was empty.Not a single person stood there.Amelia's breathing became uneven."Sophie!"A faint sound came from the room at the end of the hallway.A soft knock.Then silence.Amelia started toward it.Damian grabbed her hand."Together."She nodded.They moved slowly down the corridor.Bennett raised his weapon.Nathan stayed behind them, watching their backs.When they reached the door, Bennett motioned for everyone to stop.He listened.Nothing.He slowly turned the handle.The door opened.Sophie was inside.She stood beside the window, perfectly still.Amelia rushed toward her."Sophie!"Sophie turned.Her eyes were red."Amelia..."Amelia immediately pulled her into a hug."What happened?"Sophie

    Amelia froze.The escape passage stretched ahead of her, but her mind remained trapped in the doorway behind them.The face beneath the Curator's hood...She knew it.She had seen it before.Not once.Not twice.Countless times.At the estate.Walking through the halls.Speaking with the officers.Standing near the security room.Amelia's breathing became uneven.Damian noticed immediately."Amelia?"She didn't answer."Amelia, we have to go."She finally looked at him."I know who it is."Everyone stopped.Bennett turned."Who?""The Curator."Noah's expression changed."Who?"Amelia swallowed."I saw their face."Bennett stepped closer."Tell me."She looked back toward the passage."It's someone from the estate."Nathan's eyes narrowed."One of the staff?""I don't know.""Think."Amelia closed her eyes.The image returned.The hood slipping.The eyes.The scar near the eyebrow.The familiar expression.Then it came to her."The head of security."Silence.Nathan's face hardened."

    Darkness swallowed the room.Amelia felt Damian's hand close around hers.Noah immediately stepped in front of her.Bennett raised his weapon."Nobody move."A soft laugh came from somewhere near the doorway."You still think a weapon will save you, Detective?"Bennett's eyes narrowed."Show yourself."A small light flickered on.Then another.Finally, the emergency lights illuminated the room.The Curator stood at the far end.No porcelain mask this time.Only a black hood concealed most of the face.Amelia stared."Who are you?"The figure tilted their head."You already know me.""No.""You've seen me."Amelia's heart began pounding."Where?"The Curator smiled."That's what Samuel wanted you to discover."---Noah tightened his grip on Samuel's letter."You won't get this."The Curator's attention shifted toward him."You're still protecting her."Noah's expression hardened."She's my sister.""Exactly."The Curator took one step forward."And that is why she must never read that

    Smoke spread rapidly through the Real Archive.The emergency alarms screamed overhead.Heavy steel doors continued closing one after another, sealing sections of the underground chamber."Move!" Bennett shouted.Everyone rushed toward the nearest exit.Damian kept one arm around Amelia, shielding her from the smoke."Stay close to me.""I'm fine.""You don't have to prove that."Amelia coughed.Behind them, flames crawled across rows of ancient documents.Daniel turned back."We can't let the Archive burn!"Bennett grabbed his arm."Your life comes first.""Those records are twenty-two years of evidence!""And if you die in here, they mean nothing!"Daniel reluctantly followed.---Ethan reached the security panel near the exit."The doors are locked."Nathan coughed through the smoke."Can you override them?""I'm trying."His fingers moved rapidly across the controls."Come on..."A red warning flashed.> MANUAL OVERRIDE REQUIRED.Ethan frowned."Someone designed this to trap everyo

    The ancient altar continued to slide aside.Stone scraped against stone, the sound echoing through the abandoned chapel.Cold air drifted upward from the darkness below.The masked operative stood at the top of the hidden staircase, waiting.A moment later, a calm voice came through the earpiece."The entrance?""Open.""The key?""Recovered."A brief silence followed.Then the Curator spoke."Go down."The operative switched on a flashlight and descended into the darkness.The altar slowly slid back into place above them.The chapel was silent once again.---Several corridors away, Detective Bennett's team raced through the estate.Nathan checked the floor."Fresh footprints.""They came this way."Alexander stopped suddenly."The chapel."Daniel nodded."They're heading for the real Archive."Bennett frowned."How far?""Less than a minute."Everyone quickened their pace.Amelia struggled to keep up.Damian noticed immediately."Slow down.""No.""You shouldn't be running.""I won'
