I can mimic their frequencies. That’s why they’ll come for me." Lorenzo nodded. "Then we leave now." ~~~~~~~~~ ROME — SECURE TRANSMISSION NODE

Inside it, a voice whispered: “Subject Seven confirmed. Echo destabilizing. Merge incomplete.” “Initiate Phase Three.”

Adrian's POV My head buzzed. I looked up sharply at Marissa Cole, who had been waiting outside the studio for me to get off work. No wonder the student's voice had sounded familiar. I had heard it on her phone before. The producer shot to his feet in panic and urged me through my earpiece to keep talking. Marissa's eyes darkened. Holding her phone, she turned and walked away. I took a deep breath and forced out a smile. I held myself together and finished the closing remarks, ending right at the five-minute mark.

Silas ordered. "Yes, sir." The Maybach began to glide smoothly down the long driveway. Before we had even cleared the estate gates, Silas reached over and pressed a silver button on the door console. With a soft, mechanical hum, the black, soundproof privacy partition glided up, completely separating the backseat from the driver. We were completely alone in a moving cage. I didn't turn my head.

It was the sound of a thousand lives reduced to binary—the Syndicate’s ultimate insurance policy.

"Why are we here? Mommy will be worried." ​The figure turned. Its face was Liam’s—perfectly rendered, down to the scar on his brow. But the eyes... the eyes were two pits of flat, oily yellow. ​"Don't worry, little Alpha," the Echo said. The voice was a perfect replica of Liam’s rich baritone, but it didn't vibrate in the air. It sounded like it was being projected directly into the brain. "Mommy is coming. We're all going to be together in the dark."

I mutter, setting my beer down as she nears. “Knox,” she says with that same slow, sultry drawl she’s always used when she wants something. “Been a while.” “Yeah, it has,” I say, keeping my tone even and polite. I nod once, offering the kind of acknowledgment that doesn’t invite too much. Before I can say anything else, Echo stands up from beside me without a word and gestures to the now-vacant seat. “Don’t mind me,” he says casually, though there’s nothing casual about the smirk he throws my way as he moves to another booth.
