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. They held pulse-rifles leveled at Richard’s chest. "Target is secured," the lead agent said into his shoulder mic. He looked at me. "Doctor Scott. Are the dampeners active?" "He’s at 40% capacity," I said. My voice was flat. Cold. Like I was describing a piece of equipment. "He won't be able to shift for at least six hours. The mercury is doing its job."

She paused briefly before adding, “This isn’t the work of Maxwell. He simply doesn’t possess this level of technical capability. This is the organisation he mentioned earlier… The Syndicate.” Mavric stood beside Liora, watching the data scroll across the screen. “What exactly are they looking for?” “They are searching for the coordinates of the fourth laboratory,” Liora whispered, her face turning pale with realisation. “The laboratory whose location even Victoria never knew about. The facility that holds the original blueprints for Project Scorpion.” Amidst the chaos of the cyber-attack, a message window suddenly popped up on Liora’s display. It contained just one single line of text: “The

He left the largest one for last, knowing that this was the one that frightened and disgusted her the most. That asshole had sliced her from her breastbone straight down the middle of her body, all the way to her navel. The scar was thick and raised, an angry, vivid purple, and every time she looked at it, she remembered how terrified she had been at that moment. She'd truly thought he was going to gut her like a fish; she'd thought she was going to die.

File origin: internal lab archive. Extraction date: three days ago. Uploaded from Zurich IP cluster. Interesting. Why upload now? Why not earlier? Unless the footage wasn’t previously accessible. Unless someone had secured it. Or modified it. I slowed the playback to frame-by-frame. 22:46 — Corridor clear. 22:47 — I enter frame. 22:48 — Access panel opened. 22:49 — Code entered. 22:50 — Door opens. 22:58 — Adrian appears at corridor end.

Tristan murmured. "What is Phase Four?" Tristan watched the ocean churn. "Phase Four," he said darkly, "is figuring out how to kill a ghost without killing the woman inside." He squeezed her hand. "And teaching you how to act like a General. Because the revolution just started." End of Chapter 24

Her body convulsed once, twice, then exploded into dust. Gone. Just like that. The sound that came out of me wasn’t even human. I slapped my hand over my mouth, squeezing my eyes shut, but it didn’t matter. The image burned behind my eyelids—her vanishing mid-step, her clothes disintegrating before they even hit the ground.

He muttered something under his breath and stepped up.

Isang huling sakripisyo para sa kapatid na ninakawan niya ng buhay. Tumakbo sina Panni at Jinyan sa isang lihim na pinto sa likod ng fireplace, bitbit ang mga dokumentong kinuha ni Minny. Habang bumababa sila sa madilim na lagusan, narinig nila ang isa pang pagsabog mula sa itaas. Ang Safe House 44 ay nilamon ng apoy.

The click of it locking feels like a lie. When I return to the archive, the air feels warmer. The lamp’s circle of light looks smaller somehow, like the room is expanding into shadow again.

Then a single phrase repeated, quiet and calm: “Phase Four initiated.” Aiden froze. The mug slipped from his hands, shattering. “Dante,” he whispered. 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.
