The image of Julian raising that silver pistol, the deafening crack of the gunshot, and the sudden, violent tilt of the camera replayed in my mind on an agonizing, endless loop. "Trace it! Jameson, find the signal!" I ordered frantically, my chest heaving as I spun around to face the tech team. "Why did it go dark? Turn it back on!" Jameson was already hammering on his mechanical keyboard, his face completely pale under the harsh LED lights. "I'm trying, Avery! The physical camera unit was destroyed or disconnected on their end. The uplink didn't just fail, it was obliterated by the impact." "Vance, tell me you have the coordinates," I said, turning my desperate gaze to the head of security.

Next up was a test of strength. As Frank stood and clenched his knuckle in front of the boxing machine, he chuckled. "Get ready. This might blow up the machine altogether!" "It's fine. Just punch as hard as you can!" This time, the scientist was confident since they had tested the force of a car crash on it—there was no way Frank could top that, no matter how strong he was. However, contrary to expectations, the display fizzled out from just a light jab from Frank, and it even blew up in flames.

He jokes and I hear his zipper being closed. "Okay, now let's go because this rain is scaring me. "I say. He turns on the headlights and you can see that everything is darker, the flash of lightning and some posts are all that illuminates that street occupied by a possibly abandoned building and a few houses, there was no trade. Adam tries to start the car but it just makes a strange noise and then shuts down completely leaving us in the dark. "Adam, what happened? "I ask trying not to despair.

KR-THOOM. A support beam the size of a redwood trunk sheared off fifty feet above them, plummeting past Tristan and Saoirse into the dark abyss of the shaft. It struck the webs of cabling below with a sound like a bomb going off, showering them in sparks that burned cold against Tristan’s overcharged skin. "Move!" Tristan roared, his voice barely audible over the siren wailing from the walls. WARNING. CORE CONTAINMENT FAILURE IN T-MINUS 6 MINUTES.

At the start of graduation season, my boyfriend took more than two hundred photos of Madison Vale. Chase Whitman was president of Westbridge University’s photography club. He knew how to find flattering light and how to coax people out of stiff smiles. Madison stood beneath the maples outside the library in a white dress, her graduation cap tucked under one arm. “Am I taking up too much of your time?” she asked. Chase checked the last few shots and smiled. “You make my job easy.” When it was finally my turn, he barely looked at me. “Stand by the tree.” He clicked the shutter twice and lowered the camera. “Done.” I stared at him. “That’s it?” He turned the screen toward me. In one photo my ey

“And how is this going to help the case?” “Well, we assume that it was the murderer who did this. But here's the rub, they missed one camera. It was hidden behind a door. We managed to retrieve it and luckily for us, this camera has a capacity for storage which means, we do not need to see the footage from some security panel. We hooked up the camera to our system, and we found only a two second footage on it. This was three minutes after the crime took place,” the intern said proudly. “Let me see it,” Baines ordered, clasping his hand behind his back.

The light flared for a second, so bright that I had to squint and turn my head a little to shield from the glare, and then with a loud pop, the bulb blew.

Seconds passed and nothing moved, but a rumble of thunder rolled overhead, the sound increasing in volume.

No response. “Dead spot?” he murmured. Strange. I looked up at the road. Our truck slowed down by itself. Damien pressed the gas, but the vehicle drifted toward the shoulder as if pulled by a magnet. Ahead, an unlit police barricade stood, nearly blending into the asphalt. Three gendarmerie vehicles appeared out of nowhere. Blue lights flared. “Nom de Dieu…” Damien muttered. I reached for the bag, slipped my hand inside, and pressed a finger to the remote, just to ensure the signal was intact. But the green light was gone. The remote was frozen. The small screen displayed a single word: Jammed.
