The alarm was still screaming when Ava realized the worst part.Her mother had not denied the file.She had denied what Ava thought the file meant.I was the person they were protecting you from.Ava stared at the dead phone.Ethan was beside her immediately.“What did she mean?”“I don't know.”Marcus was already moving.“We need to get out.”Ava looked toward the corridor.“No.”Marcus stopped.“No?”“If my mother called because she knew we found the file, then she knows where we are.”Ethan understood.“She wants us somewhere else.”Ava looked at the monitor.The message about Elena was gone.A new location had appeared.ARCHIVE SUBLEVEL FOUR.Marcus's expression hardened.“That level doesn't exist on the hospital plans.”Ava felt the old fear return.“Then that's where we go.”Ethan looked at her.“You're sure?”“No.”She tightened her grip around the black recorder.“But I'm tired of running toward whatever someone else decides I should know.”Ethan's eyes softened.“Then we go b

The phone went silent.Ava stared at the screen long after the call had ended.“Lucas.”Ethan was already moving.“Marcus, locate the signal.”Marcus grabbed his equipment.“I’m trying.”Ava caught Ethan’s arm.“Wait.”He turned.“That photograph.”She held up the phone.The image of the four children was still displayed.Lucas.Lily.Noah.Evelyn.And behind them, a man with Ethan's face.“It's five years old,” Ava said.Ethan looked again.The clothing.The hallway.The children's ages.He realized it too.“They aren't there.”“No.”Ava's breathing steadied.“Someone wanted us to think they were.”Marcus enlarged the metadata.“She's right.”He stared at the timestamp.“Five years, three months ago.”Ethan's shoulders lowered slightly.“They're safe.”Ava closed her eyes.For one second, relief nearly overwhelmed her.Then the recording of Lucas's voice came back.Don't come home.Ava opened her eyes.“That wasn't a live call either.”Marcus nodded.“It was routed through an old eme

The man with Daniel's face was standing at the end of the corridor.But Daniel Reed had been dead for five years.Ava knew that.She had buried him in her heart long before she had recovered the memories that proved his death.So when the figure stepped into the emergency light, she didn't scream.She simply stared.The face was Daniel's.The voice was wrong.And that was enough.“Don't move,” Ethan ordered.His body shifted between Ava and the children.Marcus drew his weapon.Elena pulled Lily, Noah, and Evelyn behind her.Lucas didn't move.He was staring at the figure with an expression Ava had never seen on her son's face.Recognition.Not of Daniel.Of the disguise.“He's not Uncle Daniel,” Lucas whispered.The man stopped.A second figure emerged behind him.Ava's breath caught.The second man had Ethan's face.Identical.Same height.Same dark hair.Same eyes.For one terrifying second, the corridor looked like the past had come alive.Ethan's twin stepped forward.“Don't shoo

The lock beneath the hospital floor opened before anyone could move.A deep metallic sound rolled through the darkness.Then another.Then a third.Ethan pulled Ava behind him.Marcus raised his weapon.Ethan's twin stepped in front of the children.“Stay back.”Ava shook her head.“No.”Ethan looked at her.“Ava—”“I've spent five years being protected from the truth.”She took his hand.“I'm done being protected from my own life.”The floor shifted.A narrow seam appeared beneath the old tiles.Dust fell from the ceiling.A hidden staircase descended into darkness.Marcus stared.“This wasn't on the hospital plans.”Ethan looked at his twin.“You knew about this?”“No.”“Then who built it?”His twin's expression hardened.“Someone who expected us to come back.”Ava looked at the children.Lucas was watching the opening.Lily held Noah's hand.Evelyn stood close to Elena.“No one goes down there alone.”Marcus nodded.“I'll go first.”Ethan stopped him.“We all go.”Marcus frowned.“

The man on the screen had Adrian Vale's face.But Adrian was standing three feet away.Alive.Breathing.Staring at his own reflection.For one terrible second, nobody moved.Then Ethan stepped between the screen and his father.“Who is that?”Adrian didn't answer.Richard did.“My brother.”The room went silent.Ava looked at him.“Your brother?”Richard shook his head.“No.”He stared at the screen.“I mean the man is using Adrian's face.”Ethan's expression hardened.“So it's another impersonation.”“Yes.”Marcus moved toward the monitor.“The video isn't live.”He examined the transmission.“It's being routed through an old archive server.”Ethan's twin stepped closer.“Can you trace it?”“Give me thirty seconds.”The figure on the screen laughed.“You still don't understand.”His voice had been altered, but the words were clear.“You keep searching for people.”The screen flickered.“You should be searching for identities.”Then it went black.Ava looked at Ethan.“That's what th
