    Sebastian's POV I stared at the final name on Victor Hale's list long after everyone else had fallen silent. I wanted to believe it was another fabrication, but the evidence surrounding it refused to leave room for denial.Daniel Harper. For eight years, Daniel had been my closest security adviser.He had protected my family. He had built the company's security network.More than once, he had risked his own life to protect mine.

Every damaged workstation reminded me that whoever was targeting us had stopped hiding in the shadows.They weren't interested in intimidation anymore.They wanted destruction.I stood beside one of the investigation tables while police officers sorted through the recovered evidence. Sebastian remained a few steps away, speaking with the lead detective, but I couldn't bring myself to look away from the damaged security logs displayed on the monitor.The access card used to disable the security system belonged to an employee who had died three months earlier.Someone had planned this carefully."Dr. Evelyn."One of the forensic analysts approached me with a folder."We've recovered the complete access records."I accepted the file and immediately began reading through eve

    Sebastian's POV The explosion echoed through the emergency radio before the transmission went dead. For one brief second, the control room fell completely silent.Every pair of eyes turned toward me. No one needed to ask what my next order would be."Prepare the vehicles."I was already walking toward the exit."Notify the police and emergency response team. No one enters the laboratory until the area is secured.""Yes, Mr. Cross."The drive to Laboratory Three felt endless. The flashing lights of emergency vehicles became visible long before we reached the facility.Smoke drifted into the night sky.

I had to see everything for myself.When Evelyn finally walked into the laboratory everything stopped for a moment. Some of the researchers said hello to her.

She looked a little bet

Every lead seemed connected to another hidden layer.I stood inside the command center, studying the evidence collected over the past several days. Maps, financial records, and surveillance photos covered the large screen before me."Give me the latest report." One of my investigators stepped forward and placed a new folder on the table."We traced another payment linked to the kidnapping." I opened the file.The transfer had passed through three shell companies before disappearing into another offshore account. "They're still hiding their tracks.""They are." The investigator nodded."But they're becoming less careful." Another analyst projected several names onto the screen.One immediately caught my attention. Victor Hale.I had seen that name before.
