I ordered in a soft tone. "Right away sir" I leaned into the chair, closing my eyes to sleep I guess. I listened to her voice, "Please Xavier help me, Save me Liam has captured me. I don't know where's he's taking me" She was placed in the trunk of a car, with the plate number 'SCE 091567' I quickly opened my eyes, I realized that it was just a trance but she communicated with me, how's that possible?, questions filled my head wondering what Liam was doing in a Scotland car.

The Shadow Network The silence after Amara’s voice was worse than the echo itself. Natasha could still hear it, that calm, chilling whisper threading through her mind like smoke she couldn’t breathe out. Lucas was already moving. He yanked the flash drive from the terminal, shoved it into a secure case, and turned to Derrick. “How long ago was that feed recorded?” Derrick shook his head. “It wasn’t. It was live. I traced the signal back, she’s somewhere under the old Salvador Biotech annex in San Francisco. Deep underground.”

“Then maybe you’ll fall with them.” He turned and walked out of the room. I stood frozen, the silence roaring in my ears. But I didn’t leave. I waited until his footsteps faded, then I moved. I went straight to his private filing cabinet. The one he always said was “off-limits.” I found a key tucked inside his bottom drawer, typical arrogance. The cabinet creaked open. Inside were folders, names, project codes. One caught my eye: "S.F. Protocol 52, Identity Simulation Unit."

“_Dad_.” And for one second, it was perfect. Then Kieran’s phone buzzed. Unknown number. Video message. He played it. Security footage. A lab. Six pods. Five empty. Broken. One still closed. Frost on the glass. Inside, a boy. 12. Black hair. Eyes closed. Stamp on the pod: _Project 5_. Timestamp: _Now_. Location: _Montreal_. Message below: _You have 2. We have 1. Trade? —C_

An unbearable wave of suffocation detonated deep inside both their souls. The perception centers governing life itself were forcibly disconnected. Their hearts stopped. Together. For two full seconds. Cold sweat soaked their backs. Vivienne's mind went blank. Instinctively, she reached out with her left hand. Her fingers caught the corner of the towel trailing behind Alexander. The distance froze. The suffocating pressure vanished. Air rushed back into their lungs. The adjutant's panicked scream erupted from the communicator in the hallway. "Commander! The central AI has intercepted a duplicate of the forced data transmission!"

⸻ 😱😱😱 ⸻ End of Chapter 58 🖤 To Be Continued…

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.

Five years of humiliation and five years of being less than a person… Had I even been like a human to them? “You two! Check that side!” Voices echoed from the yard. They were closing in. I snapped back to myself and tore down the mountain path as fast as my legs would carry me. Back in the city, I flagged down the first cab I could find and went straight home, to the place Melissa and I once called home. My steps froze when I pushed open the study door, it was filled with monitors, all displaying live feeds of the estate. Every room, every path, and even the stable that I’d slept in for five years, were displaying right in the middle of the screen.

In her seat-back screen, a message blinked from Phoenix: “Vault is syncing. MirrorGhost is live. Get ready to light the fuse.” She whispered under her breath. “For truth. For Sophie. For what comes next.” And the screen faded to black. *** A hush fell over the main floor. Screens dimmed to a low glow. The countdown continued: Echo51 Activation in: 03:00:00 Sophie stood at the vault control terminal, hands resting on the reinforced glass. Her team surrounded her—Rachel with her arms folded tightly, Dario pacing, Camellia freshly landed and holding a mirrored drive with white-knuckled grip.
