Chapter 31: The Fourth Baby

The abandoned quarry felt colder.Darker.More dangerous.Alex stared at David Pilka.Trying to decide whether the man was telling the truth or manipulating him.Neither option was comforting."You said there were four babies."David nodded."Yes."Alex struggled to process it.Every document he had read.Every revelation.Every clue.Everything pointed toward three children.Sarah Waore.The hidden child.The child raised inside the organization.Three.Not four.Yet David looked certain.Painfully certain.The kind of certainty that came from experience.Not theory."What happened to the fourth child?"David remained silent.For a long moment, he simply stared toward the distant hills.Then he spoke."Nobody knows."Alex frowned."That's impossible.""No."David's voice hardened."Impossible is what Project Ashes specialized in."The answer wasn't satisfying.Alex could feel frustration rising.People kept giving him fragments.Half-truths.Pieces.Never the complete picture."I nee

Chapter 32: The Quarry Ambush

The SUVs came fast.Too fast.Dust exploded behind them as they tore down the rocky slope toward the quarry.Alex's pulse thundered.Instinct screamed at him to run.But where?The quarry was surrounded by steep walls and open ground.There was nowhere to hide.Nowhere to disappear.David Pilka remained surprisingly calm.His eyes tracked the approaching vehicles.Calculating.Assessing.Predicting.The behavior of a man who had survived dangerous situations before.Many dangerous situations."How many exits?" Alex asked.David pointed toward a narrow dirt track winding behind a cluster of boulders."One."Alex cursed.The older man nodded."Exactly."The first SUV stopped.Then the second.Then the third.The doors opened.Men emerged.Armed.Disciplined.Professional.Not ordinary criminals.Not ordinary hired muscle.These men moved with training.Military training.David's expression darkened."I know those formations."Alex looked at him."What does that mean?""It means we have

Chapter 33: Sins of the Past

The accusation hung in the air.Heavy.Poisonous.Explosive.Alex stared at David Pilka.Waiting.Hoping.Expecting an immediate denial.A shout.An angry rebuttal.Something.Anything.Instead, David remained silent.The older man's face looked as though someone had ripped open a wound that had never healed.Kepha Gaya smiled.The reaction told him everything."Look at him, Alex."The armed leader spread his hands dramatically."Look carefully."David finally spoke."Kepha..."His voice sounded tired.Broken."Don't."The smile widened."Oh, now you want me to stop?"Kepha laughed bitterly."Twenty-six years too late."Alex's pulse hammered."What is he talking about?"Neither man answered immediately.The silence became unbearable.Finally, David spoke."I loved Grace."The words stunned Alex.Not because he hadn't suspected a connection.Because of the pain behind them.Real pain.Raw pain.The kind that survives decades.David slowly lowered his eyes."We were engaged."The world

Chapter 34: Crossfire

The first gunshot changed everything.One moment, the quarry had been a tense standoff.Then next, it became a battlefield.Kepha Gaya's man collapsed instantly.A crimson stain spread across his chest before he hit the ground.Then came the second shot.Another.And another.The echoes bounced off the quarry walls like thunder."DOWN!"David Pilka tackled Alex behind a large boulder.Bullets immediately struck the rock.Fragments exploded into the air.Alex felt sharp pieces cut his cheek."Who are they?" he shouted.David's face was grim."The people nobody wants to meet."Across the quarry, Kepha's men scrambled for cover.Their discipline immediately became apparent.No panic.No confusion.They moved with military precision.Returning fire.Communicating through hand signals.Trying to locate the attackers.But the shooters remained invisible.Whoever they were, they had chosen their positions carefully.High ground.Excellent visibility.Excellent cover.A professional ambush.K

Chapter 35: The Man Who Refused to Die

For a moment, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Nobody spoke.The quarry stood frozen beneath a cloud of dust and smoke.Even the gunfire stopped.Because the name that had just echoed through the loudspeaker was impossible.Utterly impossible.Joel Aliet was dead.Everyone knew that.Patricia believed it.The police believed it.The media believed it.The conspirators certainly believed it.Yet the voice carried across the valley again.Calm.Steady.Unmistakable."Drop your weapons."Alex stared through the smoke.His mind struggling to process two impossible revelations at once.David's words.The fourth child is Patricia.And now—Joel Aliet.Alive.Very much alive."What the hell is happening?" Alex whispered.Even David seemed shaken.The older man's face had lost color.Blood continued seeping through his injured shoulder.Yet his attention wasn't on the wound.It was fixed on the smoke-covered entrance."No..."The word escaped him softly.Almost reverently."No, Joel..."At the

Chapter 36: Grace's Secret

The quarry fell into absolute silence.No one moved.No one spoke.Even the wind seemed to have stopped.Joel Aliet's words lingered in the air like poison."The woman who took the babies was working for Grace Akinyi."Alex blinked.Once.Twice.Trying to understand what he had heard.Beside him, David Pilka looked as if the ground beneath his feet had disappeared."No..."The older man shook his head."No."Joel's expression softened.Not because he enjoyed this.Because he knew exactly how much damage the truth could cause."I wish I was wrong."David took an unsteady step forward."Grace would never—""Would never what?" Joel interrupted quietly."Protect her children?"The question struck like a slap.David froze.Joel lowered the folder."You've spent twenty-six years investigating what happened after the babies disappeared."His gaze hardened."I spent twenty-six years investigating what happened before."A few kilometers away, Obadiah's convoy had finally reached the outskirts

Chapter 37: The Architect

The news hit the quarry like a shockwave.Fiona Lawama had vanished.Not escaped.Not gone into hiding.Vanished.For several moments, nobody spoke.Nobody moved.The revelation felt too absurd to process.This was Fiona.The woman who had spent years controlling operations from the shadows.The woman whose network stretched through businesses, government offices, law enforcement, and the criminal underworld.A woman like Fiona didn't simply disappear.Unless she was afraid.And that possibility frightened Joel Aliet more than anything else."How long ago?" Joel asked.Kepha checked his phone again."Forty-seven minutes."Joel cursed softly.David noticed."That's bad?"Joel laughed bitterly."Much worse than bad."Alex frowned."I don't understand."Joel looked at him.Then at everyone gathered in the quarry."The moment Fiona realized she was expendable, she ran."The implication slowly sank in.If Fiona was expendable...Then someone sat above her.Someone far more dangerous.Someo

Chapter 38: Sisters by Choice

The quarry fell silent.Not the silence of confusion.The silence of shock.Patricia stood frozen.The phone pressed against her ear.Her breathing shallow.Unsteady.Around her, nobody spoke.Nobody moved.Everyone waited."Alison..."The word barely escaped her lips.On the other end of the call, Alison sounded as though she had run a marathon.Or seen a ghost.Maybe both."I found letters."Patricia closed her eyes.The words immediately took her back to the storage room.The locked chest.Mercy's secrets."From Mom?""Yes."A pause.Then Alison corrected herself."From Mercy."The change stung.Both women felt it.Patricia swallowed."What do they say?"The lawyer exhaled shakily."Grace knew."Joel immediately looked up.David too.Even Bethwel shifted closer.Patricia noticed.Everyone was listening.And suddenly she hated that her family's pain had become public property.At Mercy's house, Alison remained seated on the dusty floor.Letters surrounded her.Photographs.Hospital

Chapter 39: The Pregnancy Puzzle

The storm finally broke.Rain hammered the quarry.Lightning flashed across the dark Nakuru sky.Yet nobody moved.Nobody left.Because the truth unfolding before them was more dangerous than the weather.Patricia stood beside Alex.The warmth of seeing him alive had already been swallowed by new questions.Too many questions.Across from them, Joel Aliet remained seated on a rock, the folder balanced on his lap.Bethwel Kanda studied the hospital photograph.Obadiah stared into the distance.And David Pilka sat quietly while a medic dressed his wounded shoulder.The group had reached a crossroads.And Alison's voice coming through Patricia's speakerphone suddenly changed everything."Something doesn't fit."The lawyer sounded calmer now.Focused.Analytical.The way she sounded in court.Joel immediately looked up."What doesn't fit?"Alison didn't hesitate."The pregnancy."Silence.The rain intensified.Then Alison continued."If I was one of the missing babies, then explain someth

Chapter 40: The Woman in the Missing Photograph

Rain continued falling across the quarry.The storm had settled into a steady rhythm now, drumming against rocks, vehicles, and temporary shelters.Nobody seemed eager to leave.Not after what Obadiah had revealed.Owen Waore.A missing brother.A man connected to Grace.A man who had vanished almost as completely as the truth itself.Patricia stood near one of the vehicles, arms folded tightly across her chest.For years, she had believed her life was complicated.Now she was discovering it had been a carefully sealed box of secrets.Every answer produced three more questions.And all roads led back to one woman.Grace Akinyi.The mother she had never known.The woman who seemed to be at the center of everything.Several meters away, Joel Aliet spread documents across the hood of an SUV.The old journalist looked energized despite the late hour.Danger energized him.Mysteries energized him even more.Bethwel joined him."So?"Joel pointed toward three photographs.One showed Grace.
