CHAPTER 111

The aftermath of Victor’s capture weighed heavily on everyone. The SUV sped through the outskirts of London, the team silent as they processed the events of the night. Maya sat in the backseat, her hands resting protectively on her baby bump, her mind racing.Victor sat between Alex and Reese, his face pale and his usual arrogance replaced with nervous energy. Zane was in the passenger seat, his silver eyes trained on the road ahead, his jaw tight with tension.“I gave you what you wanted,” Victor said, his voice shaky. “You promised to protect me.”Zane didn’t even look at him. “We haven’t promised you anything. You’re alive because you’re still useful.”---Maya’s Growing FrustrationMaya’s patience was wearing thin. “Zane,” she said softly but firmly, “this isn’t sustainable. We’re putting ourselves at greater risk by dragging him along.”Zane glanced at her, his expression softening slightly. “I know. But if Victor has intel that can dismantle the Syndicate, we need it.”“And what

CHAPTER 112

The tension in the room was palpable as Alex placed the note on the table. Its ominous message lingered in the air like an unspoken threat.Maya’s hands trembled as she reached for the piece of paper, her green eyes scanning the words again. London was just the beginning.“They’re toying with us,” Reese muttered, pacing near the window. “They know exactly how to get under our skin.”Zane stood still, his silver eyes narrowing as his mind worked through the implications. “It’s more than that,” he said, his voice steady but cold. “They’re reminding us they’re always one step ahead.”Camilla looked up from her laptop, her brow furrowed. “If they left that note with the innkeeper, it means they know we’re here. We don’t have much time.”---Decisions and DoubtsZane turned to Alex. “How’s our escape route looking?”Alex glanced at the window. “There’s a service road about a mile away. We could use it to avoid the main roads, but it won’t keep us hidden for long.”“And where do we go from

CHAPTER 113

The urgency in Zane’s voice sent shockwaves through the room. He stormed back into the inn’s main area, Maya close behind, clutching her phone tightly.“They know where we are,” Zane announced, his tone leaving no room for argument. “We’re leaving. Now.”Alex stood, already securing his rifle. “How close are they?”“They’re watching us,” Maya said, her voice shaking as she handed Alex the phone.Reese glanced at the photo on the screen, her face hardening. “This was taken recently. They’re nearby.”---The Plan to EscapeCamilla was already packing her laptop, her mind racing. “We need a decoy,” she said. “If we all leave together, they’ll track us. We split up, draw their attention in different directions, and regroup at a secondary location.”“No,” Zane said sharply. “We stay together. It’s too dangerous to split up.”“Staying together makes us an easier target,” Camilla countered.Maya, standing near the window, glanced outside. The street was quiet, but the tension in the air was

CHAPTER 114

The cryptic message echoed in Maya’s mind as the SUV sped through the quiet countryside. She stared at her phone, her hands trembling as she reread the words: You’re running out of time.“Maya,” Zane said, his tone sharp as he glanced at her. “What is it?”Wordlessly, she handed him the phone. His silver eyes scanned the screen, his jaw tightening.“They’re taunting us,” Zane muttered, his voice laced with fury. “Trying to make us panic.”“Well, it’s working,” Reese said from the back seat, her tone dry.Alex, ever the pragmatist, kept his eyes on the road. “We’ll deal with it when we reach the safe house. We can’t afford distractions right now.”But for Maya, it wasn’t just a distraction. It was a warning.---Tension Boils OverThe safe house in Manchester was a modest flat tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. As soon as they arrived, Alex and Camilla went to work securing the perimeter, while Zane ushered Maya inside.“I need you to rest,” Zane said, his tone soft but firm.“I’m fi

CHAPTER 115

The ride to the hospital felt like an eternity. Zane’s silver eyes were fixed on the road, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel. Maya sat in the passenger seat, her breathing uneven, her hand clutching her stomach.“Zane,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Something’s wrong.”“Don’t say that,” Zane said, his voice tight. “You’re going to be okay. The baby’s going to be okay.”In the backseat, Camilla was on the phone with a contact, trying to find a secure clinic. “We can’t go to just any hospital,” she said, her tone urgent. “The Syndicate could have people there.”“Then find one,” Zane snapped.“I’m working on it,” Camilla replied, her fingers flying over her laptop.---A Safe PlaceCamilla finally found a private clinic on the outskirts of Manchester, one known for discretion and high security. They pulled up to the unassuming building, its dim lights casting long shadows across the parking lot.A doctor and two nurses were already waiting at the door, alerted by

CHAPTER 116

The room fell silent as everyone stared at Camilla’s laptop, the ominous message glaring back at them: You’re already too late.Zane’s jaw tightened, his silver eyes burning with fury. “What does that mean? Too late for what?”Camilla’s fingers flew across the keyboard, pulling up encrypted files and running trace programs. “I’m trying to pinpoint where this came from. Give me a second.”“Seconds are a luxury we don’t have,” Alex said, pacing behind her. “If they’ve already moved, we need to know what we’re up against.”Reese leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “It’s not just a taunt. They’re trying to throw us off balance.”“Well, it’s working,” Maya muttered, her hand protectively resting on her baby bump.---A Disturbing DiscoveryCamilla’s screen lit up with a new notification. Her expression darkened as she read through the results.“They’ve already begun deploying assets,” she said. “The Syndicate’s focusing on Brussels. That facility I mentioned? It’s their main operations

CHAPTER 117

The explosion ahead sent the SUV rocking slightly, the vibrations rattling through Maya’s chest as the reality of their situation settled in. She clutched her baby bump instinctively, her mind racing with questions she couldn’t voice.“They’ve set traps,” Camilla said, scanning her laptop. “Explosives planted on the main roads leading to the facility. They’re trying to funnel us into a specific path.”Zane’s silver eyes narrowed. “And that path is probably crawling with Syndicate operatives.”“Exactly,” Camilla confirmed.Alex exhaled sharply from the back seat. “So, what’s the plan? Walk right into their ambush?”“No,” Zane said, his tone firm. “We find another way in.”---Maya’s FrustrationAs Zane and Camilla debated alternative routes, Maya found herself growing increasingly tense. Every decision seemed to carry more risk than the last, and the weight of those choices pressed heavily on her.“This isn’t sustainable,” she said finally, her voice cutting through the conversation.E

CHAPTER 118

The deafening sound of the alarm echoed across the facility grounds, cutting through the tension like a blade. Floodlights flared to life, bathing the area in harsh white light and exposing the team’s position.“Move!” Zane barked, his voice carrying over the chaos.Maya clung to the shadows as the others sprang into action. Alex and Reese took the lead, their weapons drawn, while Camilla scrambled to disable the alarms using her portable system.“Can you shut it down?” Alex called over his shoulder, firing at two operatives who were closing in.“I need time!” Camilla shouted back, her fingers flying across her keyboard.“We don’t have time!” Reese snapped, taking down another guard.---Maya’s DilemmaMaya crouched behind a stack of crates, her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear the shouts of the Syndicate operatives closing in, their boots crunching against the gravel.She gripped the small pistol Zane had given her, her palms slick with sweat. Her green eyes darted toward

CHAPTER 119

The alarm blared through the dimly lit facility, its piercing wail reverberating off the cold steel walls. Maya clutched Zane’s arm, her green eyes darting nervously around the control room.“We’re surrounded,” Alex said grimly, his gun trained on the doorway. “They’re moving fast.”Camilla’s fingers flew over her laptop, her expression tight with concentration. “I’m trying to override the lockdown, but their system is layered. It’s like peeling an onion with a butter knife.”“Work faster,” Zane ordered, his silver eyes locked on the monitors displaying the encroaching Syndicate operatives.Victor leaned against the far wall, his cuffed hands resting casually in front of him. “This was always their plan,” he said with a smirk. “You walked right into it.”“Shut up,” Reese snapped, her glare cutting. “Unless you’ve got something useful to say.”Victor raised an eyebrow. “I’m just pointing out the obvious.”---Maya Takes a StandMaya’s heart raced, her mind battling between fear and res

CHAPTER 120

The team stood frozen in the stairwell, Victor’s mocking smile and the detonator in his hand casting a suffocating shadow over their escape. The distant sound of explosions reverberated through the facility, a cruel reminder of their rapidly dwindling time.“You’re insane,” Alex growled, his weapon trained on Victor’s chest.Victor’s smirk didn’t waver. “Insane? No. Calculated. The difference is that I know what I want—and how to get it.”“Drop the detonator,” Zane ordered, his silver eyes burning with fury.Victor tilted his head, feigning consideration. “You know, I would, but it seems I’m in a rather advantageous position here.”---Victor’s Demand“What do you want, Victor?” Maya asked, stepping forward despite Zane’s warning hand on her arm.Victor’s gaze flicked to her, and for a brief moment, his smug expression softened. “Simple. I want immunity. You let me walk away, no questions asked, and I’ll make sure this detonator stays in one piece.”“You think we’d just let you go?” R
