When she finally spoke, her voice had the quality of something that had been held back for a long time and was now coming out very carefully, like water through a controlled opening. "I didn't know, in the beginning," she said. "What I was moving. Martin told me it was witness protection, essentially. People who needed to disappear from dangerous situations. I believed him for about eight months." She took another drag. "Then I started noticing things. The women never contacted their families afterward. The destinations were never the same twice. There was never any follow-up, never any check-in system to make sure they were settled and safe." She paused. "I asked Martin about it once. Just

How... how exactly did you meet Silas Vander?” Serena: “…” 'Does he think Silas and I are—' she stopped herself, eyes widening slightly. 'Never mind, she thought. Maybe it’s for the best.' “I’d rather not talk about my personal life, Mr. Thorne,” Serena said, turning her gaze toward the window. From the corner of her eye, she saw Nathaniel nod. He signaled to Gavin, who handed her a set of documents. “It’s to formally record your visit,” Nathaniel explained. “Witness Protection needs it on file. Everything you see or hear remains confidential.”

“We’re as surprised as you are that they targeted you tonight.” She reached into the glove compartment and pulled out a folder, handing it to me. Inside was a new name, a new address, a new life printed on official letterhead. “As of this moment, you’re officially enrolled in witness protection.” She gripped my shoulder, her eyes burning with an intensity I couldn’t look away from. “No one is taking you, Vesper. Not today. Not ever.” I held the folder in my shaking hands and felt something I’d forgotten existed.

“I’ll help expedite your witness protection. Today. You’ll be moved to a safe house, new identity papers tomorrow.” Her eyes widen. “Wait…new identity? What does that mean?” “That’s how witness protection works. You leave everything. Your name. Your wealth.” My gaze drills into her. She pales, shakes her head violently. “No. No…I don’t want it anymore. I don’t want to lose everything.” I smile. Cold. The same way you made Alexa lose it all. Only this time, you lose it for crimes you actually committed. “Then Dean and Ferdinand will book you. You just confessed.”

Professional photos—Adrian in a suit from some business event, me from my Luxe Collective website. "Authorities are seeking Adrian and Elena Blackwood as material witnesses in the ongoing federal investigation. They are not considered suspects at this time, but anyone with information about their whereabouts should contact the FBI immediately." Material witnesses. The words sounded benign, but I knew what they meant. Indefinite detention. Locked away for our own protection. Witness protection if we were lucky. New identities. New lives. Everything we knew, everyone we loved, gone forever. "We can never go back," I said quietly.

The female officer was saying to Violet. Violet looked at me with hesitation in her eyes but I gave her a nod, silently assuring her that she was in good hands. “So Mr Wesley, I have arranged for witness protection for Violet and Victor,” the captain started, handing me a file from his briefcase. “All you have to do is sign this and we’ll take it up from there.” I did a quick scan of the document and then signed it as he had requested. Once that was done my presence was no longer required but I made sure to linger around a moment longer to make sure they were truly in good hands before I left.

She noted everything. After the international agents had cleared the room for a separate briefing, Diaz stayed behind with Grace and Rachel and two of her own team. "There is a procedural matter," Diaz said. She set a single document on the table. "Your formal designation as a protected federal witness. It expands your security coverage and gives the prosecution certain tools it does not currently have." She looked at Grace. "It also means your movements and communications will be subject to additional monitoring for the duration." "More than they already are," Grace said.

Bethwel frowned. "What?" "You have no evidence that Mercy committed a crime." The inspector remained silent. Alison continued. "If you publicly accuse her now..." "...whoever is hunting her will know exactly how desperate she has become." Bethwel's expression softened. She was right. Legally. Strategically. Morally. He nodded once. "Very well." He looked toward his officers. "Mercy Wao is now classified as a protected material witness." Patricia quietly released the breath she had been holding.

He said, Jaclyn couldn't say a word cause everything was like a puzzle to her. "You see," He began, "After Big Ray was taken to jail, we knew they were still some other bad guys out there that was going to try hurt your Cynthia and you for her being the witness to the case. So, your mother and you were covered by the WITSEC Program. It was the Witness Security Program that protect witness from the bad people outside.” He paused and exhaled, “After the case, we, the US Marshals staged the explosion at your house that day.

The lines blur a bit between Agent Sophia and Sophie. I didn't pick the phone back up. I didn't need to. I had memorized every name and address, and I knew that by sunrise, nothing I could ever think could try to rationalize what I saw. The list wasn't names of people for any drop off or any criminal contacts of any kind, they were protected witnesses. These were the people the iron wolves were secretly keeping safe from the rest of their world or someone out to get them. I got out of bed not wanting to take the suspense in again. I needed to know I had to.
