Then, something shifts behind his eyes. He smiles. The expression feels deeply unnatural. It holds a strange, serene amusement that makes my instincts spike. It is the calm of a man who has just finalised a terrible calculation. “Sector four, off the coastal highway. The old shipyard, warehouse nine,” he recites, his voice perfectly smooth. “Passcode is Sierra-Tango-Four-Niner-Delta.” I frown. I didn’t expect it to be that easy… Something is not adding up. I study his face, trying to decode the sheer satisfaction radiating from that smile.

Above ground, the old secure site blended into the shell of an abandoned railway terminal, but beneath it, war plans unfolded. Isabelle sat bent over a terminal, dark circles beneath her eyes, lips pressed into a tight line. Her fingers moved over the last line of code. A soft click. Her hands dropped from the keyboard, trembling. “It’s genuine,” she whispered. “This code—it’s not just Hekate anymore.” Philip turned sharply from the projected schematic. “What do you mean?” She exhaled shakily. “It’s Phase Four. He embedded it in Helena’s chip… deep, like it wasn’t meant to be found unless someone bled for it.”

I slump to the ground, as all the heavy tears I've been trying to hold back, are forced out of me. Fierce determination follows too. "Then I won't do it. I won't stay here anymore. You can't just use me as you wish!" I yell at her, frantically. The tears make it hard for me to see. Selena looks at me with a sad expression, and she parts her lips, like she wants to say something, before shaking her head. "Don't worry child, you will survive this. But for now..." Her voice breaks, as the light surrounding us begins to disappear, and morph into a room that's oddly but not specifically familiar.

There is only one thing you need to do. Come alone, or else I'll shoot her pretty face and make you watch. Midnight sharp. You know where. Your beloved brother, Damon. Taped to the bottom was a lock of her bright red hair as proof that Scar was Stanley's captive. Damon was shaking by the time he finished the letter. The edges had crumpled and torn beneath his furious grip, and now that he was finished reading, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the fire. He let out a massive roar, clawing at the sheets and mattress in rage and mattress in rage and terror.

“Whatever.” Andrea waved her objections away. “It worked. Two: So far as we know, only Haunt can detect the charmer. So we ask Scy if there is any other way he can think of, then see if he has any records from his predecessor that might indicate human/Haunt crosses in your midst.” Leo sat up. “That’s not possible!” Andrea placed a hand on her stomach. “Is. Scy did say it was rare for your women to have hard labors, seemed to think it a strong indicator of rape, maybe by Haunt. Cases of pre-labor sickness could give a strong clue.”

Nova’s silence lasted half a second too long. Then: “You’re not going to like it.” Cassian’s voice went sharp. “Nova ” “She’s not the focus anymore.” Cassian straightened. “What?” “The traces from the council’s vault scans? They’re aimed at Deep Node 44.” Eden went still. Cold slipped down her spine. Nova’s voice came softer. “They’re trying to map Selene.” Cassian cursed under his breath. “She’s preparing a containment hit.” Eden’s voice was ice.

Jay’s eyes turned completely blue. He screamed. Z-04 twisted its head toward him immediately. The giant’s voice slammed into their skulls: “Z-01 anomaly detected. Deletion protocol engaged.” Lena’s blood ran cold. Z-04 wasn’t after her. It was after Jay. Alexander’s head snapped toward Z-04. “You come near him—NEAR HER—AND I WILL RIP YOUR CORE OUT!” He leapt into the air again. Z-04 grabbed him mid-flight and slammed him into the ground so hard the snow burst upward like a geyser.

Said Noel. “That’s right, and this is current battlefield after Cornelio assist the Squad 44.” Said Samuel. The chamber going dark again and the projection changed.

​Left alone in the gatehouse, the room felt instantly colder. ​Scarlett backed up until her spine hit the edge of the terminal table, her Beretta held at a low ready, her eyes swinging between the open doorway and the scrolling text on the laptop. ​[PROGRESS: 44%] [SECTOR_09: WIPE_FAILED_RETRIAL] [SECTOR_10: PURGING...]
