“Then we outrun them.” At the university, they ditched the car two blocks out. Moved on foot, heads down. Into the science wing. Past students who had no idea they were walking through the edge of a digital war. In the lab, Sophia connected the chip and began the injection. The signal jumped nodes immediately—spiking through Frankfurt, Oslo, into Toronto. Elise stood at the door, watching. “Thirty percent,” Sophia said. “Hold steady.” Footsteps echoed outside. Elise drew her weapon.

From a locked ebony box, she took out a small glass vial. Inside was a shimmering blue liquid. "This is the old Sicilian way," her voice was a witch's rasp. "An ancient neurotoxin, mixed with a powerful aphrodisiac. A few drops, and she will lose all will to resist. She will become compliant, desperate. Get her pregnant with a Whitestone heir, and motherhood will be her chain. All women are the same. A child is a leash." Gavin stared at the vial, a war raging inside him.

I commanded, confirming that I was truly paying attention to the other end of the line. "First and foremost..." My heart did a huge downward leap, and I started to reconsider actually staying the night.

Oscar spoke into the radio which was followed by more silence. Kimberly looked into her binoculars and saw eight children playing a game of soccer on the open space in front of the huts. She dropped the binoculars and reached for a small carton from her backpack. She removed a stick of cigarette from the pack,lit it and took a long drag. There was static from the radio once again. “Alpha to base over.” Oscar repeated. Three seconds later, the gruff voice of the colonel was heard. “Alpha, this is base over. I read you loud and clear. What is the situation over there?”

The damp air of London's underground tunnels clung to my skin, rank with the smell of sulfur and centuries of decay. I signaled the team to halt, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. "Scent markers ahead," Lucas whispered, his military training evident in his precise movements. "Two hundred meters." "Everyone clear on the objective?" I asked, adjusting the tactical pack containing Amelia's stolen files against my back. Sophia nodded, her dark eyes gleaming amber in the low light. "Get in, confirm virus distribution points, get out. No engagement unless necessary."

It was a sleek, black console separated from the rest of the network. "I’m at the terminal," I said, my hands hovering over the keyboard. "Okay," Maya said. "Do it fast. Initiate the transfer protocol." I woke the screen. The Vance Logistics logo appeared, spinning in silver. ENTER COMMAND. I typed in the code my father had taught me when I was eighteen.
