WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT Chapter 104: Two Truths at Once
Rain began just after dusk.It tapped first against the wide hospital windows in scattered drops, then gathered confidence until the glass carried a constant silver movement from top to bottom. The city beyond blurred into streaks of light and shadow, headlights smearing across wet streets far below, towers dissolving at their edges.Inside the room, the lamps were low.Tricia sat upright in bed with a blanket drawn over her legs, untouched tea cooling on the tray beside her. The doctor had insisted she rest. The nurse had repeated it twice. Her body, however, had chosen a different arrangement and remained alert beneath the sheets, every nerve listening for footsteps, for phones, for voices changing tone in the corridor.Raymond stood near the window, one hand in his pocket, the other holding Mr. Greene’s printed pages loosely at his side.He had not looked at them for several minutes. He had memorised enough already.The reflected room in the glass showed them both: Tricia pale agai

The corridor outside Tricia’s room seemed narrower after that sentence.They found the messages.Mr. Greene stood with the phone still in his hand, the screen gone dark now, as though the call had completed its work and withdrawn. General Watson’s expression did not visibly change, yet Raymond had begun to recognise the subtle signs that meant the older man’s mind was moving quickly beneath the surface.“How far back?” Watson asked.Greene slipped the phone into his pocket.“Initial retrieval covers the relevant months. Additional archives may take longer.”“The relevant months,” Raymond repeated.His voice carried a sharpness he did not intend.Greene looked at him evenly.“The period beginning after Raymond was presumed dead and continuing after his return.”There it was. Clean. Chronological. Impossible to hide behind vague language.Raymond glanced toward the closed hospital room door.Inside, Tricia was trying to rest. She was carrying enough already.And somewhere in a server f

No one in the room moved immediately.The words remained where Mr. Greene had placed them, as though they had become a physical object resting on the table between them.If Raymond ever learns the truth, everything will be destroyed.Raymond stood near the window, one hand braced against the frame, shoulders rigid beneath his jacket. He had not looked away from Tricia since the sentence was read aloud, yet he had not spoken either.Tricia sat perfectly still in the chair, both hands resting over the blanket on her lap, fingers locked together so tightly the knuckles had gone pale.Mr. Greene did not interrupt the silence.He had spent enough years in rooms like this to understand that some moments could not be managed. They had to be allowed to unfold in their own shape.General Watson, standing a little apart near the door, watched his daughter with the alert stillness of a man who knew pressure could break people quietly as easily as loudly.At last, Raymond spoke.“When did you wri

The courtroom emptied in layers.First the spectators, gathering bags and whispers as they moved toward the doors. Then the clerks with their stacks of files. Then the attorneys who had no further reason to remain. Voices returned gradually, as they always did after authority had spoken, cautious at first, then fuller once the gavel’s echo had faded.Yet around Raymond, the air still felt suspended.Mr. Greene had not moved immediately after Mark was taken out. He remained where he stood beside the counsel table, one hand resting lightly on the polished wood, gaze fixed on nothing visible.General Watson stepped closer.“What did he say?” he asked quietly.Greene exhaled once through his nose before answering.“He asked his lawyer to file an emergency notice regarding private evidence.”Raymond stared at him.“What private evidence?”“That,” Greene said, finally looking at him, “is the correct question.”Watson’s expression hardened.“Bluff?”“Possibly.”“Likely?” Raymond pressed.Gre

The courtroom did not become louder when Mark stood. It became still.The movement itself was controlled, almost unremarkable, yet it drew attention the way certain storms darkened a room before anyone heard thunder. He rose beside his counsel, one hand resting lightly against the defence table, posture straight, expression composed.At the bench, the judge looked over her glasses.“Mr. Coleman,” she said evenly, “your counsel is present. Why are you standing?”Mark’s attorney was already on his feet.“Your Honour, my client requests permission to make a brief statement concerning the nature of these proceedings.”The prosecutor’s chair scraped back at once.“Objection,” she said. “This matter is before the court for formal presentation of charges and scheduling. It is not the time for an unsworn personal narrative.”The judge’s gaze moved from one table to the other, then settled briefly on Mark.He did not look away.Raymond sat two rows behind counsel beside General Watson, every m
WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT Chapter 99: The Morning Before Friday
Sleep never truly settled in the hospital room.It came in fragments, in brief stretches of drifting silence broken by the soft pulse of monitors, the opening and closing of distant doors, the muted footsteps of nurses moving through the corridor beyond. The city outside the tall windows had long since dimmed into scattered lights, but inside, the hours seemed to move with deliberate slowness, each one aware of what waited ahead.Tricia lay awake long after midnight.She rested on her side, one hand tucked beneath her cheek, the other curved protectively over the gentle rise of her abdomen. The room was dim enough that shapes blurred at the edges, yet she could still make out Raymond in the chair beside her bed.He had insisted on staying.He had fallen asleep there sometime after two, though sleep on him looked more like temporary surrender than rest. His arms were folded, head angled back, jaw still tense even in unconsciousness, as though some part of him refused to stand down comp

Mark Coleman barely slept that night. The thought kept circling his mind like a predator stalking its prey.Raymond and Tricia.A getaway.Alone.Every time he pictured it, something inside him twisted violently. He imagined them walking together somewhere quiet, Raymond speaking softly to her, Tri

Night had settled over the base. Inside the command office, Raymond sat alone, the recovered mission file open in front of him. The numbers still refused to make sense. He studied the system logs again.Navigation override. Flight path alteration. Two levels of authentication.And one name tied to

Mark stared at the tablet in his hands.The parking structure felt colder now.The system log on the screen showed the terminal ID used to access the navigation controls before the mission.He knew that terminal. Too well.His voice came out quietly.“That terminal… belongs to Sean Carter.”Daniel

Raymond stared at the documents spread across the command desk.The room was quiet except for the soft hum of the overhead lights.Commander Harris crossed his arms.“You see the problem,” he said.Raymond nodded slowly.“The coordinates don’t match the route I was given.”“Exactly.”Raymond flippe
