Evelyn's POV

I woke up the morning after I hired Marcus Reed and sent an advance payment to his agency. I had given him fifteen million dollars. Now I was using part of my freedom to find out the truth.

Marcus Reed was not cheap. He was really good at what he did. According to Sophia powerful people had tried to keep secrets hidden for years. Marcus Reed had found a way to expose them.

Three days. I did not hear anything important from the investigation. I

    Evelyn's POVThe hospital was really quiet when I got there that morning. My father was still unconscious. I was left with a lot of unanswered questions and the old journal I had taken home the night before.I took the leather notebook to my office at the research center. The cover had faded from years of use. Every page had a piece of my fathers past that he had kept hidden from me.A minute later Sebastian came in with two cups of coffee. He put one down beside me. Then I noticed the journal open on my desk."You got here early," he said quietly. I nodded without looking up at him."I could not stop thinking about this journal. If my father risked everything to keep it safe there must be something in it."Sebastian pulled out a chair. Sat down across from me. "Then let us find out what it is."I turned another page carefully. Most of the writing was about research notes that I had seen before. My fathers handwriting go

    Sebastian's POV I was reviewing the latest security reports when Marcus entered my office without knocking. One look at his face told me something important had happened."Damien just called," he said as he placed a folder on my desk. "He found one of the surviving researchers from Project Genesis."I immediately looked up. "Is the man alive?"Marcus hesitated before answering. "Barely. Their hideout was attacked before Damien could finish questioning him."I opened the folder and quickly skimmed through the photographs taken by Damien. The elderly researcher looked exhausted, but there was something else that caught my attention.A handwritten note was attached to the last page. Victor isn't the only one behind Genesis.I read the sentence twice before closing the file. "So we've been chasing only half the enemy."Marcus nodded slowly. "It appears so."A few minutes later, Damien arrived at headquarters under heavy security. His clothes were sta

    Damien's POV The location had been in my pad since yesterday morning. It came from a past friend who once did work in the drug field, and he said there was just one living researcher from Project Genesis that was still here.I parked a few roads away from a calm neighborhood. The tiny house at the end of the road looked normal, but I knew looks did not matter anymore.I went to the gate and tapped two times. A few moments went by before an old man opened the door very slowly."Mr. Daniel Reeves?" I asked.He studied my face cautiously. "Who are you?""My name is Damien Sinclair." I kept my voice calm."I need to ask you about Project Genesis."The hue quickly went away from his face. His shaking hand gripped the side of the door."You should not have come here." His voice was kind of quiet."I've taken weeks trying to find you." I looked him in the eye."Please. Just give me a few minutes.

    Evelyn's POVI could not sleep anymore. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the photograph that came in the package.The words written in red would not go away. Phase Three Begins was always on my mind reminding me that Victor Hale was one step ahead of me.In the morning I went to the laboratory before the sun came up. The security people said hello to me. I knew they were watching my every move.Sebastian had added security people overnight. Now I had to show my identity just to get into my own laboratory.Marcus was waiting for me at the door with a tablet. He looked very serious."Good morning, Dr. Hart." "Good Morning." He looked around. Then spoke quietly. "I want to show you something before you start work."I was a little confused. "What is it?""It is the video from the city cameras." I followed him to the security office.There were screens on the wall showing videos from diffe

    Sebastian's POV The photograph remained on my desk long after everyone else had left the laboratory. Three words written in red ink had turned an ordinary package into something far more dangerous.Phase Three Begins.I stared at the message without saying a word. Victor Hale wasn't threatening us anymore.He was declaring war. Marcus broke the silence first."The forensic team is already on the way." I looked at him."Seal the entire building." "Every floor?""Every floor." Within minutes, alarms echoed softly through the research center.Security doors locked one after another while employees were instructed to remain where they were until further notice. Some researchers looked confused.Others had already guessed something serious had happened. Evelyn stood beside the laboratory window with her arms folded."This is because of the package." "Yes."She turned toward me. "Victor wants us to panic.""I don't intend to give him that s

    Evelyn's POVThe laboratory was really quiet after what happened. Everyone knew about the explosion at the shipping yard. Nobody wanted to talk about it.The silence in the research center was uncomfortable. I put my bag down. I looked out the window at the main laboratory.The researchers were already back at work. The machines were. The computers were showing lots of data. It was like nothing had happened.I knew that was not true. Then I heard a knock at my office door."Come in." Sebastian came in with Marcus.I was surprised. "You brought security into my office."Sebastian did not smile. "I brought security into the building."Marcus handed me a tablet. "We changed the way people get in."I looked at the screen. "Now we need to use our fingerprints and faces to get in."I looked back at Sebastian. "Is this really necessary?"He did not hesitate. "Victor already tried to attack the lab
