Sebastian's POV

I looked at the small metal key in the hands of Evelyn, trying to comprehend why Daniel had kept it concealed from everyone before he was shot. Seventeen? It didn't make sense – at least until I understood that Daniel would not have risked his life for nothing.

"There is one more thing," Evelyn whispered. I turned to her and said, "What?"

She carefully examined Daniel's fingers once more, and some object got visible between them, barely sticking out from under the

    Evelyn's POV That night, the private terminal was quite dark. Except for a couple of lights around the abandoned hangar, the place looked absolutely deserted.Sebastian and the police were already on the spot, hidden somewhere around the perimeter of the building and waiting for the right moment to take action.As soon as I got out of the vehicle, I directed my gaze towards the hangar.My heartbeats were accelerated that time, but I made an effort to control myself.Marcus whispered into my earpiece. "We're in position."I touched the earpiece. "Any movement?""Nothing so far."I took a breath. "Stay there until I give the signal.""Understood."I approached the entrance to the hangar alone. The large metal doors opened as soon as I approached them.I stopped. Someone had expected my arrival.I went inside the hangar. It seemed absolutely empty.There was only one table in the center of the hangar, and several folders lay neatly o

    Sebastian's POV The laboratory was empty when everyone else left. Evelyn and I were standing in front of the computer, reading the last pages of her father's journal."We have to find out what he meant by the destruction formula," Evelyn said. I was looking at the formulas displayed on the screen."Do you think he created something which can destroy Genesis?" "Not just Genesis." She pointed at one of the structures. "Everything related to it."I frowned. "Even your research?" She nodded slowly.She opened one more file from her father's journal. "He created a compound which will destroy everything connected with the Genesis structure.""What is going to happen after it is activated?""The formula collapses." "And the research?""It becomes unusable."I looked at the screen. "Everything?""Everything." Evelyn looked down. "Every formula, every modification, every research connected with Genesis could become unusable."I knew the

    Evelyn's POV The threat stayed in my head for days after the breach was neutralized. Trying to go back to my work, every glance at the formula reminded me of the warning – they were watching us.Sebastian stayed in the lab with me. Not saying a word since those threatening messages appeared, he obviously tried to figure out who betrayed our security system.Suddenly, my phone started vibrating. Looking at the screen of my device, I saw no number, only the video file. I hesitated to watch it.The video showed Sebastian walking through the parking garage. My heart stopped.The video was made from some distance. Some people have been following Sebastian without his knowledge.I watched it till the end. There was the message below.[You know what will happen next.]One more message followed.[Give us the Genesis formula, or Sebastian will die.]My hands got cold. Glancing at Sebastian, who was talking with Marcus several meters away, I noticed th

    Sebastian's POV The laboratory doors shut automatically, as the alarm went on. I looked at the security guards outside of the server room when Marcus started running to the control panel."How did they manage to get in?" I asked, looking at the logs which Marcus was scanning with worried eyes."Somebody used Level One security clearance."I narrowed my eyes. "Level One?" Marcus nodded."It is available to just a few people." I looked around the room, knowing that Marcus was one of those people."Show me the log of access."Marcus showed me the screen of the security log. There was only one name on it.[Marcus Reed.]The room fell silent as Marcus stared at the screen. "This is impossible."I looked at him. "You explain it to me.""I didn't enter the server." He looked at the screen again."The computer shows me differently.""Somebody used your clearance."I approached the screen of the monitor. "And who else knows about your

    Evelyn's POV Three days after the assault on Daniel, I returned to the laboratory. The danger was still around me, but by avoiding the laboratory, I would just give Victor another point to prove his success.I realized it immediately upon entering the research center. There were several officers next to the entrance, and two more stayed outside the laboratory.Sebastian was waiting for me next to my office. "You should not be here alone.""I am not alone. You have half of your security team following me.""I mean it, Evelyn."He stared at me for a second and finally moved aside. "At least let them escort you between floors.""I will think about it." Judging by the look he gave me, Sebastian did not like my reply, but I could not help smiling and went towards the laboratory.The rest of the morning went silently. Sebastian stayed close to me while I went through the files of Project Genesis, and in the end he came to the table for the research."W

    Damien's POVI had been investigating Victor's partner throughout the whole night. The more information I had uncovered, the more I became sure that the person controlling Victor was more dangerous than I thought him to be.Victor had never acted without any particular motive. He had never let his true allies show up on the scene in the shadows around him.This was the very reason why I knew I had to look beyond Victor himself. In order to find out who was really controlling him, I had to analyze the finances and the people standing behind him.I sat in my armchair and looked at the pile of documents on my table. They were financial statements, company archives, transaction logs, and contracts signed in the past.Most of the names on them were meaningless at first glance. However, after analyzing several transactions with the help of several shell companies, I eventually discovered one name that immediately caught my attention.Adrian Vaughn.My gaze beca
