Captured Novels & Stories

Without thinking, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, my fingers moving quickly as I opened the camera, switched to video, and angled it just enough to capture them from where I stood, careful not to make any sudden movements that would give me away. I heard everything they were discussing and I made sure I captured everything. They didn’t say anything unusual and it looked like Mila was there to see the Alpha but didn’t know he wasn’t available at the moment. I smiled slightly as I stared at the camera and confirmed that it was still recording. “At least this will give me something to work on”, I muttered.

Like something in me had quietly given up and didn’t know how to come back yet. My chest tightened painfully. Because I knew exactly when this was. The first time I met him. Raphael. That version of me I never let exist in public. And yet... There it was Captured and Frozen. Sent to me like it belonged to someone else. My fingers trembled slightly as I zoomed in. The angle.....is Slightly off. Not from our table but from behind, like someone was watching . My stomach dropped. “…someone was there.” Not just passing by.

Suddenly, the‍ sc⁠reen‌ wen⁠t b⁠lac​k. ‌"Wh‌at happe​ned?" Ce‍leste dem​anded. "He det​ec‌t​ed the packet capture," E‌le​na gasped, her‌ ha⁠nds fr​ozen. "He’s locking us‌ out‍. H‍e’s initiated a total system purge."

My terminal needs to rapidly return to the server hub and analyze the raw surveillance frames to harvest the physical evidence that will fully clear Chika’s name before the pack council. The exact microsecond my boots clear the sector, Chika pulls his personal data pad from his tunic, his eyes locking onto several high-priority media alerts showing his frame standing in close proximity to Ronan Blackwell. The paparazzi spy had captured our profiles from multiple deceptive angles, including a highly manipulated low-light frame that makes it appear as though our lips are locked in an intimate, forbidden kiss.

" I attached only two files. Not everything. Just the most important two. 1. `CAYMAN_HOLDING_SUMMARY.xlsx` - showing $400 million stolen from city hospitals. And I wrote one line in the message body: Victoria is at the Fortress bunker. She is trying to kill us to hide this. Come now. - Serena I pressed SEND. SENDING DIRECT BURST One second. The whole thing sent in one second because it was only two files. On my other screen, a small green tick appeared. DELIVERED. READ. He saw it.

We almost made the concrete. The second Capture operator adjusted for the residual trail of the bond instead of the larger group heat and fired a low-velocity suppression round designed to disable the carrier without killing the secondary host. I stored the round itself a fraction of a second before impact. The effort dropped me to one knee. The Stage 2 transfer collapsed into pure emergency minimal function. Mara turned back to lay covering fire. The remaining Capture operator used the angle and put a clean lethal round through the upper chest of the remnant woman.

On the last trip before Zeke Malone and I were set to register our marriage, someone clamped a hand over my mouth and dragged me into the bushes to assault me. Zeke and my sister, Crystal Bianco, arrived just in time to "save" me. That was when I heard Zeke switch to French and ask her, "Did you get enough footage just now?" "Yeah," Crystal answered back in French. "But isn't this unfair to Lizzie?" Zeke's voice turned grave. "The man was only acting. He never actually went through with it. We just needed the footage. As long as I don't hold it against her, that's all that matters. "Besides, you could win a Pulitzer for breaking this story. That's what actually matters here." I lay in

"I'm 20 meters away from the target, on standby." "Got it, Cole turn sixty degrees to your left that's it, climb on top of that cargo. It's not windy today, so you can snipe him down smoothly." Toby was giving instructions while looking at a 1990-model laptop with a linked footage from their body cameras, for reference . " I'm on it. O.kay...Ready." " Five seconds before take off. 5-4-3-." Shit! a signal jammer.

I got into the elevator and go to the basement floor just like i was instructed. The elevator opened and now i'm in the basement floor. I'm running towards the exit and keep running until i reach the road full of cars passing by. I’m pretty sure, Karen should've realised my absence by now. I tried to stop any car but each time I failed. Until finally a red old car stopped. An old woman was driving. "Can I help you young lady?" She asked from the window. "Please help me. I've been kidnapped!" I explained quickly.

My hand was shaking as I was accepting their request. I also had more than a thousand notifications, thanks to Noah's tag on my name on his post. I was browsing my I*******m account when I saw Anne's latest I*******m post. Her post kill all the excitement that I felt earlier. It was a picture of her and Andrew. It was a candid shot. They look happy and in love. Anne's caption says it all. "Partner"
