Beneath the photo, a single line of text was typed out. The screen glowed brightly in the dark: "We know what is happening inside the nest, Captain Kael. See you at Game Five."

“Boss, we’ve got a problem. Black-site’s reporting, Victor’s cell is empty. No breach, no alarms. He’s gone.” My blood froze. Elena’s hand tightened on Mamá’s, her face paling. Alexander’s jaw clenched, his eyes darting to the windows. “No,” I whispered, my laptop booting, fingers flying. “I locked him out. I burned everything.” But the screen pinged; a signal, faint but alive. “You missed me, kid. Phase 5: your code’s mine now. – V.” 6:30 p.m. – Estate lockdown

The audio continued to play, the static clearing to reveal an older, archived recording —a conversation dated exactly six months ago, the very night I escaped the Thorne Tower. Voice of Victoria Vance: The transfer is complete, Zero. The Level 5 security bypass codes for the Thorne penthouse have been uploaded to your server. Disable the cameras for ninety seconds. Let the girl out, make sure she thinks she’s escaping on her own, and feed her the data on my syndicate. We need her to turn into a weapon that destroys Malakai from the inside. Voice of Zero: Understood, Ms. Vance. The asset will be extracted tonight.

The laboratory on the fifth basement level of the Montgomery Building was bone-chillingly cold, a subterranean tomb of glass and silicon. Under Zero's frantic guidance, Sophia finally stood before the "Root Server," a monolithic black pillar pulsating with a ghostly, rhythmic blue light.

She gave him a puzzled look. With her eyebrows raised, she gave the air another small sniff to double-check her findings. "It's him," she confirmed. "I'd offer you a secret handshake or password if we had one," Sekhmet said lightly as he continued toward them with deliberate slowness; his arms held out to either side of him in a classic pose of surrender. "But since we don't, you'll have to take my word for it. I'm me. Scout's honor. I know you can't smell me, but there's a reason for it."

Charles was still stubbornly trapped in his delusions, and he screamed, "Just wait a little more! I have to be right, my superpower lets me see the future!" Having lost her trust in him, Iris shook her hand out of his grip and ran straight out the door. However, the weather outside had already become -94°F, and there was no more electricity and water, much less any transportation, so she had no choice but to return to the Dennings. Sipping another warm cup of milk tea, I activated my generator. Because of the weather, the surveillance footage was cut out more often than not, but I could tell what was going on at their place through the comments in real time.
