He pulled out a scrap of paper from his pocket, the one Sophia had texted him from Luc’s notes, and began to compare the digits. 0-4-4-2-9-1. They matched. Every single number matched perfectly. Marcus let out a long, shaky breath, a sudden, wild laugh escaping his lips. "You stupid bitch," he whispered to the empty room. "You actually did it. You got greedy."

The door burst open. Four men in tactical gear stepped in. They weren't wearing police uniforms. Their patches were a simple, gold-embossed 'DIR'—Department of Inter-species Regulation.

Dante appeared in the doorway instantly, alert, all traces of sleep gone. “What happened?” Aiden pointed to the radio. It spoke again, louder this time. “Phase Four initiated.
