Henry's eyes widened slightly. "Yes! That's the one! Kairos Wolfe.” He now looked relieved. “It really is you, Brandon.”Before Jason could deflect, Henry plowed on. "Their big fight, the one just before... Martha and I overheard shouting from the study. Something about an object Wolfe wanted. Something that had been in the Caelthorn family, that Alistair had agreed to give to this Wolfe. But apparently, Alistair discovered that the artifact was not just a typical artifact it was special and he wanted to keep it in the family, and so he refused, calling it a powerful weapon that couldn't fall into the wrong hands".The Obsidian Dagger. Jason already knew what this was. And now he understood what Kairos's exact connection to his family was. He also saw the thing that can motivate kairos to do whatever he did to his family. "But the baby," Jason steered back, his voice tight. "Brandon. You said he was left behind?"Martha nodded, tears finally spilling. "Yes. We went back the next m

Vanessa didn't waste a second. She pushed back from her desk, the chair scraping loudly against the floor, and followed Charlie out into the hallway. The earlier politeness was gone, replaced by a cold fury that radiated from her."Charlie!" She called out. He stopped, turning slowly. He had the same infuriating smirk still playing on his lips, though it weakened slightly under the intensity of her glare. "Something wrong, cousin?""Don't play dumb with me," Vanessa snapped, her voice low and dangerous. She walked right up to him, stopping just inches away. "The Sterling shipment. The customs hold. That was you, wasn't it?"Charlie’s smirk widened, though his eyes darted nervously for a split second. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said, trying for dismissive arrogance but sounding slightly defensive. "Sounds like you dropped the ball on the paperwork. Again.""No," Vanessa said, her voice dropping even lower, filled with icy certainty. "You know exactly what I'm talki

Kairos raised an eyebrow, his posture relaxing slightly. "Of course. To report in. But before that, let's settle the primary objective." His eyes scanned Jason's frame, specifically the backpack. "Do you have the dagger?" "Yes, I have it," Jason confirmed, his voice low and steady. "But I won't hand it over yet." Kairos's composure cracked, just slightly. The paternal concern dissolved into sharp, commanding impatience. "What do you mean, you won't hand it over?" he demanded, his voice rising. "You were sent to retrieve the dagger, Lucan. Your mission is complete. This is not negotiable. Now step forward." Jason stayed put. He looked Kairos dead in the eye, and delivered the first blow. "I believe you've been calling me by the wrong name." Kairos frowned, confused. "Lucan. What are you talking about?" "I think my real name is Brandon," Jason stated, every word measured, final. "Brandon Caelthorn. And you know that, don't you?" For a moment, Kairos went perfectly still. His

The heavy suite door hissed shut, sealing Kairos in with his own fury. The blaring alarms were a frantic echo of the rage building inside him.He strode back to his desk, his face a mask of cold, controlled fury. The bonsai pot lay in a ceramic shards near the cracked wall screen, a perfect, mocking symbol of the control he had just lost.He looked for the drive, hoping Jason hadn't found the drive. However when he looks, the drive was not there, confirming yet another one of his fears: Jason had the proof of all his crimes. The person he had considered his most loyal lapdog was now on a mission to expose him. He slammed his hand onto the main comms panel. Just then, the door slid open, but Nina wasn't alone. She was flanked by two heavily armed Serpents, the elite guards of The Fulcrum, their visors down, weapons at the ready."Sir," Nina said, her voice tight, "Agent Vale has breached containment. He overpowered the guards in the corridor and is moving toward the hangar."Kairos’s

10 hours later, after Jason escaped the fulcrum, at Kev's bar. Jason stepped inside the bar. Jagua and Klaus sat at a corner table, half-empty glasses In front of them. They stood up the moment he walked in. "Holy shit, man," Jagua breathed, clapping a hand on Jason's shoulder, pulling him into a rough, relieved hug. "You're safe.”“Yes, and I got the drive. Kairos didn't make it easy, but it's done.” Jason responded, Klaus just nodded, his face grim, scanning Jason for injuries. Jason tossed a small, black data drive onto the table. It slid across the wood and stopped right in front of Klaus."He had it," Jason said, his voice flat. "Right where you'd expect. Remus's files.Klaus stared at the drive as if it were a live grenade. "My god." He immediately pulled a hardened laptop from his own bag, flipped it open, and slotted the drive in. Jagua crowded in behind him, leaning over his shoulder.The screen lit up, showing a directory of heavily encrypted files. "He didn't even chan
