Secret In The Lattice Novels & Stories

A girl can dream. I flash my I.D. badge at the desk security guard, who no doubt believes he actually works for a porn warehouse, and make my way to the back of the building, past aisles and aisles of storage boxes of smut. At the very back of the warehouse is a standard bookshelf lined with DVD’s. I look for the current secret video—Jurassic Puss, tagline: ‘Life finds a way . . . to cum’—and pull it from the shelf, triggering the mechanism which opens up the secret door leading down to the subterranean building which is the true heart of T.H.E.M.’s operations.

Nick sat at the booth for a few more minutes, then stood up, took the suitcase in hand, and walked into the bathroom. After their conversation he no longer trusted his friend. The conversation they had was too telling for him. Pete wanted to do the right thing, but he couldn’t,not working for a monster like Bradley King. He looked around the empty restroom and went inside of the only bathroom stall. He sat down and opened the luggage. It looked harmless, just clothing and underwear. He moved them around first. Nothing. Then, he removed the satin backing of the luggage lid. He saw no locator device. Just when he was about to give up he saw a crack on the wood backing . he touched it and it mo

“I left a path inside the Host Node. A labyrinth meant only for the fully merged version of us. If the Inverted Flame has awakened, and the second mind—the one seeded with vengeance—has risen… then you must finish what I couldn’t.” The image shimmered. Faint static rippled through her voice. “Find the Lattice.” “Find the origin of the Seed.” “And destroy it—before she gets there first.” The console pulsed again, opening a side chamber. Inside was a pedestal, holding a crystalline shard. It shimmered with threads of both gold and red—seed and inverse, flame and shadow. Evryn approached it slowly. Her fingers tingled before even touching it. Elara scanned. “This is pre-Sequencing tech. Before

The wall retracted, revealing the object at its core: A single carbon steel briefcase. She approached it with reverence, unhooking the lanyard from around her neck to retrieve the second key hidden within her belt. The dual locks released with a synchronized click. Inside, safeguarded by layers of shock foam, were two items: a matte-black drive and a red velvet envelope. Her fingers hovered over the envelope as she opened it carefully. The original schematic—the encrypted lattice structure of the Blackwell Trust. At the bottom, two signatures. Adrian Blackwell.

Bernadette shook her head with pursed lips. “This was one of his biggest accounts and as you can see from the files, all confidential. He kept this one close to his heart so I don’t know much apart from who to contact to set up meetings. All that information you’ll find in your emails.” Aria bit her lip knowing that she had her work cut out for her, but nodded and thanked Bernadette before she left. “Okay, let’s see what we have here.” She picked through files till she came to one that was labelled “Memorandum Of Incorporation”.

He knows..... William pov Getting home I saw the package Nathaniel was talking about. I opened it and it was a picture of I and Jade on our first date. On top was written: I know your secret. Shit! He knows! Is that why he is intentionally keeping Jade around? To hurt us? Does he know that I was the one who drove the car? I didn't waste anytime, I rushed to my former work place to check the case again. Was he at the scene? If he was why didn't he say anything?

Eight weeks later, He raised his head up and stared at the direction of where the phone was ringing, it been ringing for quite a while. “Ajoke... your phone is ringing.” He said to her and she came into the room and moved closer, to the phone while he returned his attention to the newspaper in his hands. “Hello...” She said and walked back into the room, he sighed deeply, she seem so secretive these days and it baffled him. She returned to the living room some minutes later and sat down beside him. “My love ...” She said and touched his head slowly, he put the newspaper beside him and looked at her.

"Listen I need your help" "What kind of help" Lila asked. "I need money" I said. "Fifty thousand dollars. Can you get it" "What for" Lila asked. "To finish what we started" I said. "To get rid of Bella once and for all" There was silence on the other end. Then Lila spoke. "They arrested me" she said. "Last week. I tried to get into Damian's building and they caught me. I'm out on bail but my lawyer says I'm going to prison too"

He chuckled, "Were you talking to Mike? Did you spill our secret?" Luke was undeniably striking. At school, he was an iceberg, cold and untouchable. But in private, he was warm and almost clingy. In the past, I'd have melted into his arms, blushing. Now I just stepped back, creating distance. "Didn't you want to keep us hidden?" I muttered. His eyes flickered as he caught the edge of my tone. Still, he pressed on with the question that always lingered. "You know we can't go public."

Vince asks as Lester gives him a cheeky grin. “Something my assistant is going to help me with” Lester smiles. “This is top secret; you can’t even tell Tiffany what we are about to do” he adds, opening the envelope and pulling out the piece of paper inside to reveal its contents. Vince’s eyes grow wide when he reads what was on the paper. “What do you need me to do?” he asks, smiling he gets to help Lester with revealing the sex of the baby.
