The emergency lights created unsettling red shadows across the facility's main corridor as Alex and James moved swiftly through the chaos. Alarms wailed, and security personnel rushed past them—too preoccupied with the perimeter breach to notice two figures in utility uniforms slipping deeper into the compound.

"The secondary explosions weren't part of my plan," James muttered, checking a small device that displayed the facility's layout. "Someone else is making a move."

"My father," Alex replied with certainty. The old man had always been five steps ahead, even from what might be his deathbed. "Where would they keep him?"

"Medical wing, east quadrant." James gestured down a connecting hallway. "But the Director will expect you to go there first."

Alex's jaw tightened. "Then let's not disappoint him."

James grabbed his arm. "That's exactly what he wants—to use our parents as bait. We need to secure the central database first."

"Our parents—"

"Are survivors," James cut in

    Blue emergency lights pulsed, casting an otherworldly glow over James's face as his eyelids fluttered. "The containment protocol," he whispered. "Rodriguez's insurance policy.""Stay with me," Alex urged, frantically searching for a way to free him from the debris. Sonia appeared at his side, helping to leverage the fallen beam."On three," she instructed. Their eyes met briefly—a wordless connection that transcended their professional relationship. "One, two, three!"Together they shifted the metal enough for Alex to pull James clear. Blood soaked the CFO's shirt, but his eyes remained lucid, focused on Alex with desperate intensity."Your father embedded a kill switch in the genetic formula," James gasped. "If activated incorrectly, it targets anyone with modified markers.""Including my father?" Alex questioned, helping James to a seated position against the wall.James nodded weakly. "And the Director. Half his security team. Countless others who received early treatment variants.

    Sonia's weapon lowered slowly, her mind racing through scenarios faster than her heartbeat. The helicopter's spotlight cast harsh shadows across her face as she stared up at her captors. "I said surrender," the voice demanded again. "I heard you the first time," Sonia replied coolly, buying seconds to think. Her gaze flicked to Elena, who subtly shifted her stance—a movement Sonia recognized from their training exercises. Three... two... one... Elena triggered a flash grenade from her belt while Sonia dropped and rolled, using the momentary blindness of their attackers to find cover behind coastal rocks. Gunfire peppered the ground where they'd stood moments before. "They want us alive," Elena shouted over the chaos, "or we'd already be dead." Sonia nodded, calculating their next move. "Alex's tracking beacon—can you access it?" Elena pulled out a small device, her fingers flying across its surface. "Signal's active but scrambled. He's moving toward the facility." A bu

  • wounded Heart    Chapter 100: Broken Chains

    Alex's lungs burned as he scaled the coastal path, deliberately making his movements visible to the search drones. The flash drive weighed heavily in his pocket—not from its physical mass, but from the burden of what it contained. Secrets his father had kept. Secrets that had put everyone he loved in danger. The thought of Sonia working frantically on the boat below twisted something deep in his chest. That kiss had changed everything between them, acknowledging what had been building beneath their professional relationship. Now he might never see her again. Focus, he commanded himself, pushing the emotion down. Sentiment was a luxury he couldn't afford—not with drones closing in and the Director's forces moving to intercept. The tracking device Elena had given him remained silent in his pocket. One press would summon whatever remained of Ghost Squadron, but Alex knew better than to trust anyone completely now. His father's lessons, if nothing else, had taught him that. A dron

    The lighthouse trembled with each impact, dust and debris raining down as Alex, Sonia, and Elena raced through the emergency evacuation tunnel. Behind them, the command center's self-destruct sequence counted down, ensuring no intelligence would fall into enemy hands. "Thirty seconds until the charges detonate," Elena called over her shoulder, leading them deeper into the narrow passage. "This tunnel emerges half a kilometer down the coastline." Alex clutched the flash drive, now wrapped in signal-blocking material Sonia had found in the command center. His other hand held firmly to Sonia’s, unwilling to risk separation in the dim emergency lighting. "Your father anticipated everything," Sonia remarked, her breathing controlled despite their pace. "Not everything," Elena corrected grimly. "Or we wouldn’t be running for our lives." The tunnel curved sharply downward, the rough-hewn stone steps slick with seawater. Alex caught Sonia as she slipped, pulling her instinctively ag

  • wounded Heart    Chapter 98: The Last Outpost

    Elena's safe house turned out to be an abandoned lighthouse perched precariously on a rocky outcropping. Its weathered exterior belied the sophisticated security system that granted them entry—retinal scanners hidden within crumbling stonework, pressure plates disguised as loose tiles. "Ghost Squadron never fully disbanded," Elena explained as she led them through a hidden trapdoor beneath the keeper's quarters. "We just went deeper underground." The narrow staircase opened into a surprisingly modern command center. Monitors displayed surveillance feeds from across the Mediterranean, while a reinforced weapons locker occupied one wall. Three operatives worked silently at computer stations, acknowledging Elena with subtle nods. "Impressive," Sonia murmured, her professional assessment evident in her scanning gaze. "Independently powered. Satellite uplinks. Completely off-grid." "Carlos built contingencies within contingencies," Elena replied. "This facility hasn't appeared on a
