HaileyThe reporter kept talking about the fire but I wasn't listening anymore. My eyes were on the smoke rising behind her, black and thick against the pale morning sky, and all I could think was that Frost had actually done it. She'd burned her own life's work to buy us time."She's not answering her phone," Evans said, lowering his own from his ear. "Either it's destroyed or she doesn't want to be found right now.""Or she's dead," Nancy said quietly, and nobody argued with her.Marcus arrived an hour later with two laptops and a duffel bag full of gear, dropping everything on the kitchen table like he hadn't slept in days."If Frost bought us time, we use it," he said. "I've got the floor plan for Rey's compound outside Marseille. I've got shift changes. If we're going to move on him, it has to be now, while his attention is split."Evans looked at me across the room. "You're not coming.""I didn't ask," I said."Hailey.""I said I didn't ask, Evans. I'm seven weeks pregnant, not

HaileyThe pain hit me halfway across the courtyard, sharp and sudden, like something inside me had simply decided it was time and wasn't going to ask permission.I stopped running. My knees buckled and Sera grabbed me before I hit the ground, her arm wrapping tight around my waist."Hailey, what's wrong," she said, panic already climbing into her voice."I don't know," I gasped, but I did know, some part of me knew immediately, the way your body tells you the truth before your mind catches up.Another wave rolled through me, worse than the first, and I bent forward, a sound coming out of my mouth I didn't recognize as my own."It's too early," I said between breaths. "It's too early, Sera, it's not supposed to happen like this—""Okay," she said, and I could hear her forcing calm into her voice even though her hands were shaking against my arm. "Okay, we're not staying out here in the open."There was a small maintenance door set into the wall a few meters away, half in shadow, half

CalixThe freezing water slammed into my chest, filling my nose and mouth before I could fight my way to the surface. Above me, the sky blazed orange as the east wing tore itself apart in a secondary blast. Chunks of burning concrete and heavy iron bars rained into the dark reservoir, splashing around me like mortar shells.I kicked hard against the drag of the current, dragging air into my lungs as soon as my head broke the water."Evans!" I shouted, turning in circles while the smoke stung my eyes. "Evans!"Nothing answered except the roar of the fire on the bank and the sound of falling debris.A few feet away, a gray suit jacket bobbed near a floating piece of timber. I swam toward it with quick, desperate strokes, grabbing the collar and pulling the body upward. Rey’s face emerged from the dark water, pale and limp, his head bleeding from a deep gash near his hairline. He was still breathing, his chest hitching in small, ragged gasps.I scanned the water around us, my eyes search

HaileyI sat on the cold wooden floorboards, my eyes tracing the sharp slant of his ink across the heavy paper."I am writing this because I know how stubborn you are," the letter continued, his words bringing the exact sound of his voice right into the quiet bedroom. "I know you will spend every hour looking for logical answers, trying to solve every broken piece of this mess. But if something happens to me tonight, I need you to stop looking for answers and listen to me. Our marriage was never just the arrangement we agreed upon in that quiet room four years ago. It started as a practical plan to protect our families, but loving you stopped being strategy somewhere during that first difficult year. It became the only real, unquestionable thing in my entire life. Everything I did, every secret I kept, and every deal I made with Rey was meant to keep you safe. If I do not make it back to you tonight, please do not waste your life waiting for a ghost. Build a life for yourself and for

EvansI pulled back from Hailey's lips just enough to breathe, my hand moving to support her back while she leaned against me, her chest still heaving with quiet sobs.A tiny, wet cough came from the polished floor right next to my left shoe.Hailey wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her coat, letting out a breath that was half a laugh and half a sob. She looked down at the floor, then reached down quickly to snatch a bruised purple grape right out of Kelvin's small, chubby fingers before he could push it into his mouth."No, absolute trash," she whispered to him, her voice still rough from crying.She lifted the boy up, resting him against her hip again. Kelvin blinked his large, dark eyes at me, completely unbothered by the dramatic scene unfolding in the middle of the crowded mall concourse. He clutched a soft blue toy rabbit against his small chest, staring at my face with open, silent curiosity.My throat locked up completely. I took a short, unsteady breath, my hands shaking as I
