" Else I'll broadcast the edited version framing Lucas as the murderer" "You won't", I responded in a resolute tone. "Why not?"

Your network has been controlled from the inside, Arthur. Currently, Clara is outside with the FBI and the unedited footage has been uploaded to the attorney's server.

Richard shouted, "No!" David looked at the remote. Its screen displayed only one button. Below it were two words. OVERRIDE ACCESS. Claire saw it immediately. "Bring it here!" David threw the remote toward her. Claire caught it and connected it to the control panel. New files instantly appeared. Her eyes widened. "This is it." Daniel leaned closer. "What?" "Richard's hidden access." She quickly entered several commands. For the first time, the computer accepted them. The chamber lights flickered. Inside, Nick noticed the change. "Ariana!"

Watching the system struggle. Watching Victor’s desperate attempt. Emily felt a chill run down her spine. Because she suddenly realized something. Victor Hale wasn’t running. He was attacking. Daniel suddenly froze. “Oh no.” Adrian looked at him sharply. “What is it?” Daniel slowly turned the monitor toward them. A second message had appeared. And this one made the room fall completely silent. REMOTE OVERRIDE REQUEST Authorization Code: HALE PRIME Ryan whispered, “…That code doesn’t exist.” Daniel shook his head slowly.

“Good. Keep squeezing the pendant. Think about not listening.” Sara’s smile edged. “You’re frightening her.” “You’re pulling her,” Kim replied, not dropping the softness. “We can both feel it.” For a heartbeat, everything held: the lights, the draft, the long metallic breath of the depot. Then, distant, Mau’s voice tore through the net: “Captain—Bind spike on East wall! Vector rotating—broadcast wide. She’s calling.” Jane flinched—sharp, like a string pulled. Sara’s hand came out of the pocket fast—not a gun. A small black remote with a single recessed switch. She pressed it.

Hayley added slowly turning her gaze to Claire. "Yes, could be." Claire said still looking outside the glass window. "You know Santa Claus isn't ugly right?" Alec said catching his breath. "Yea right!" Hayley scoffs slightly elevated.

“Is something wrong?” “No, it’s amazing!” Clara hurried over to the remote, her fingers flying over the buttons as she turned on the TV. The screen flickered to life, revealing a live broadcast. The title at the bottom read: **Dr. Sylvia Press Conference**. Her mother’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is that…? No way. That’s Aurora!” Clara couldn’t contain her grin as she plopped down next to her mother. “Yes! Look! She’s talking about something relating to medicine, she’s now a doctor ! My sister is alive …She’s not dead , I knew it “

It was also confirmed by her calling me on my phone that she was not mad at me. I flipped through the channels on the television with the remote. The moment I saw Clara's face on a channel, my finger paused on the remote. I was ready to turn off the channel because I didn't want to see her face, but I paused to hear her interview when she brought up Scarlet.

Beside him, a woman stood partially turned away, elegant, posture poised, her face hidden behind a smooth chrome mask shaped like a second skin. They stood close. Too close. The timestamp at the bottom glowed sharply on the screen: Captured: 3 Days Ago. Elara’s heartbeat echoed loud in her ears. Three days ago. He wasn’t missing. He wasn’t gone. He was out there. Working with someone. Watching her. And not once, not once, had he reached out. The cursor on the screen flickered. Then a notification popped up in the corner: REMOTE ACCESS ATTEMPT DETECTED.

Her voice cracked. No answer. The knob rattled. Clara stumbled back, fumbling for her phone. She dialed Alessandro with shaking fingers. “It’s me,” she whispered when he answered. “They’re here. My door—” The line hissed, then cut. Her door splintered inward.
