Liam My phone buzzed against the table. And I looked down at it. Clem: 911. ANGRY REDHEAD. And it buzzed again a few seconds later. Clem: Let me know if I need to create a diversion so you can escape. I looked up and over at Clem curiously, then saw who she was referring to. Cassie walked up to the bar and had just started conversing with Clem. Lucian frowned and tuned our hearing over to listen in.

’’ ---------- Someone’s been watching at the Hive the entirety of the time, a beast person that resembles the characteristics of ants and bees- long antennae swings atop of his head whenever he moves it, armored in bright yellow color plates, at his back is a pair of large buzzing wings. ‘’What they are doing is defiance against Viscor Mukha’s laws!’’ DEOS XVI- END

The frustration and fatigue in Ellaine’s voice can’t be ignored. “I told you. This thing you’re getting into is no fun. There is no place for complaints here.” “I was just asking.” A young man with blonde hair and beautiful sky-colored eyes came out from the back door of the cottage. He smiled at them, exposing a dimple at the right corner of his mouth; his eyes lingered a bit longer on Ellaine, then nodded at Finrod. “I am Caeruleus, Prince Finrod. The captain of the ship called for you. We are about to sail.” After saying this, he went inside the cottage.

Sheila is still very scared of my dad's power and influence but would go to the moon and back for me. I had to make sure the new phone could not be wire tapped, I had to make sure to check for trackers under the car before buying one. Sheila has spent most of the mission being anxious about being caught and rightfully so, but she also came up with a brilliant idea, she suggested I give my old car to Juanita and use the poor Puerto Rico immigrant as a decoy and instead of myself, Juanita will be the one being followed around.

Ellla asked and I looked at her in confusion. She motioned her head towards my computer screen, which had an open file from yesterday’s performance. It was a work offer from an agency but I didn't know it was owned by E-Secure? “Souteneur is a subsidiary of E-Secure?” I was absolutely ridiculed by the idea. She looked at me wide-eyed, and a little terrified that she spoke too much, “Oh-uh! You don’t know, do you?” I shook my head as she dragged herself closer to my chair and started whispering.

With determination in his heart, Liam picked up his phone and dialed the number that Sarah had forwarded to him. On the other end, Elena sat comfortably on her sofa, indulging in a bowl of mac and cheese while watching the C.E.S Award and Competition review. Her excitement peaked as she saw Liam Hamilton, the CEO of Hamilton Tech, received the award for the best overall software. Elena couldn't help but admire his charming demeanor as he spoke about his company's mission and vision. Little did she know, Liam was on the other end of the line, eagerly waiting for her to pick up.

Picking up my phone from the kitchen table, I called the only person I knew would understand right now. "Eli? Hello?" I called as he picked up the phone. "Oh my god, I was just going to call you. Are you okay?" Eli asked with a serious tone. "How'd you know I was calling you about something?" I asked, confused. "Eve , the museum you're working at is making headlines right now. They're saying someone broke in," He explained. "What happened?" "That's what I called you about," I paused as my nerves started to overwhelm me.

“I need a few things.” I didn’t explain further. If I explained, Elena would try to stop me. Or worse, she’d worry. Neither would help the situation we were in. Since Lillian wanted to act smart we just needed to be smarter than she was. The electronics store smelled of fresh plastic and cardboard. Rows of cameras, speakers, headphones, and computer accessories stretched across the brightly lit room. I walked past all of them until I found what I needed. A small wireless microphone. Then another. I grabbed a compact audio receiver, a handful of adhesive strips, extra batteries, and a portable power bank.

“So we prove it by surviving it.” Adrian unfolded a portable terminal glowing aqua in the cabin’s dark. “I’ll jack into the Grand Central node physically. Once connected, I can seed a recursive loop…” “English,” Luca interrupted. “I can teach his system to eat itself.” “Fantastic,” Evelyn said. “Try not to be on the menu.” Then the comm crackled: Elias’s voice bent by static. “Crane’s pushing visual feed to every major channel—you’ll be on live broadcast.” “Then let him watch,” she said. “He wanted spectacle.”

I said suddenly. She blinked once, but it looked too perfect. Too timed too. Elio moved closer with his iPad in hand. He leaned in, scanning her face, then her neck, then behind her ear. He paused. “There’s something here,” he said. He gently lifted a strand of her hair. Clipped behind her ear was a small metal device. It was thin and flat, almost invisible against her skin unless you knew where to look. “It’s a micro-controller,” Elio said. “It could be feeding prompts, voice pacing, posture cues, even emotional timing.”
