Chapter: Ohhh, My Son! Ryker remained at the window long after the assassins had left, watching the city transform from day to night. His reflection stared back at him from the glass—a powerful man who suddenly looked older, more worn than he had that morning.His phone buzzed. Marcus Chen with an update on the social media suppression campaign. Ryker ignored it. Another buzz. Sarah Kim reporting that Stevens had been "handled" and wouldn't be talking to anyone. He ignored that too.Nothing mattered except Blackhood.He pulled out his personal phone—the one only three people had the number to—and opened the message thread with his son. His phone rang. Not the personal one—his business line. He almost didn't answer, but the caller ID showed it was Thomas Wright, his head of security. The man who'd been conspicuously absent from all the meetings today."What?" Ryker answered coldly."Mr. Ryker, I need to speak with you immediately. In person. It's about your son."Ryker's blood went ice-cold. "You have infor

Chapter: The New Hired AssassinsThe digital crisis team filed out of Ryker's office one by one, each carrying their assignments like weapons to be deployed against the spreading wildfire of social media chaos. Marcus Chen would coordinate the mass reporting campaign. Sarah Kim would orchestrate the counter-narrative. James Mitchell would pay Stevens a visit that the security guard would not soon forget.But Ryker barely noticed their departure. His mind had already moved past the immediate damage control, past the NDAs and the scrubbed videos and the threatened witnesses. All of that was merely noise—necessary noise, but noise nonetheless. The real problem, the only problem that truly mattered, remained unsolved.Where was his son?He checked his watch: 4:47 PM. Nearly five hours since Blackhood's hand had arrived in that godforsaken box. Five hours of his best people searching, investigating, following leads that went nowhere. Five hours of his son being held by people who had demonstrated their willingness to muti

Chapter: The Digital Wildfire The digital wildfire had already begun. By the time Ryker's people started monitoring social media, there were already hundreds of posts spreading across the city's online landscape like a virus. Employee accounts, anonymous profiles, even local news aggregator sites were buzzing with variations of the same shocking story: Something terrible had happened at Ryker Industries. The richest man in the city had been involved in a violent incident. There were witnesses. There was video footage. There was blood. Ryker sat in his office, surrounded by six of his top people—not his legitimate executives, but his real operators. The ones who handled problems that couldn't be solved through boardrooms or legal paperwork. They stood in a semicircle around his desk, each one holding a tablet or phone, scrolling through the growing catastrophe. "Show me," Ryker said, his voice cold and controlled. Marcus Chen—no relation to the detective, one of Ryker's digital specialists—stepped forward an

Chapter: The Power Shift Detective Morrison stood in the hallway outside Ryker's office, her phone pressed to her ear, her expression growing increasingly confused and then frustrated. Chen stood beside her, watching his partner's face change as whoever was on the other end of the line spoke to her with evident authority."But sir, we have multiple witnesses. We have video evidence. We have a severed hand that—" Morrison paused, listening. Her jaw tightened. "Yes, sir. I understand, sir. But this is clearly—" Another pause, longer this time. Her knuckles turned white around the phone. "Yes, sir. Right away, sir."She lowered the phone slowly, staring at it as if it had betrayed her. Chen stepped closer, his voice low and urgent. "What did the Chief say?""He said to stand down," Morrison replied, her voice tight with barely controlled anger. "He said to cease the investigation immediately and clear the scene.""What?" Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's insane. We have evidence of assault, evidence tamp

Chapter: The Cover-Up AttemptDetective Morrison's question hung in the air, but before anyone could answer, Stevens was already on his feet, one hand still pressed dramatically against his reddening cheek."Detective, thank God you're here," he said, his voice taking on a pained but brave quality. "Mr. Ryker assaulted me. He struck me across the face in front of all these witnesses. And before that, there was a severed hand. A human hand. He was trying to hide it."Morrison's expression didn't change, but her eyes sharpened with interest. "A severed hand," she repeated, her tone carefully neutral. "Where is this hand now?""He had it," Stevens said, pointing at Ryker. "He was holding it, trying to hide it under his jacket. Then he went into his bathroom just a few minutes ago. He was in there for several minutes, alone."Morrison's gaze shifted to Ryker, assessing him with the practiced eye of someone who had seen countless criminals and liars. "Mr. Ryker, is this true? Did you have a severed hand in your possess

Chapter: I'm Detective SarahThe slap echoed through the hallway like a thunderclap, and for one frozen moment, everything stopped. Stevens stood there, his head still turned to the side from the force of the blow, his hand slowly rising to touch his reddening cheek. His eyes were wide with shock, disbelief, and something else—something that looked like the death of loyalty.Then the moment shattered, and chaos erupted."Oh my God, did you see that?""He hit him! He actually hit him!""That's assault! That's assault!""Everyone saw it! It's on camera!"The crowd surged forward, a wave of bodies pressing closer to get a better view, phones held high like torches in the darkness. The soft clicks of camera shutters became a constant background noise, punctuated by the occasional flash. Every angle was being captured, every moment documented in excruciating detail.Ryker's hand was still raised, trembling now not just from rage but from the realization of what he'd just done. He'd crossed a line, transformed himself

Chapter: The Davos AmbushThe main auditorium of the Davos Congress Centre was a sea of expensive suits and powerful faces. Three thousand people filled the rows. CEOs of Fortune 500 companies sat shoulder to shoulder with top government ministers and the heads of central banks. All around the place, journalists from every major news network adjusted their lenses and checked their feeds.Derick stood in the dim light behind the heavy stage curtains, waiting for his cue. He could hear his own breathing, steady and slow, while Jackson spoke directly into his ear through a tiny, hidden speaker."The facial recognition system is currently scanning every face in the building," Jackson said from the high-tech security room. "Our software is tracking how people move and how they shift in their seats. If anyone looks out of place or shows signs of a threat, we will see it before they even take a step.""How many people have we flagged?" Derick asked, his voice barely a whisper."W

Chapter: Preparing the TrapThe following fourteen days vanished into a relentless cycle of logistics and tactical preparation. Jackson had transformed a secure hotel suite in Davos into a high-functioning command center. Digital displays lined the walls, casting a steady glow over personnel who had been working twenty-hour shifts to ensure every variable was controlled."Swiss intelligence has finalized their positions," Jackson said, his finger tracing the arteries of a digital map. "We have twenty-four officers stationed at every major entry and exit point of the town. No vehicle enters this valley without us knowing about it."Derick leaned over the map, his eyes scanning the terrain. "And what about our eyes inside the venue? Did Interpol come through?""Sixteen agents are already on the ground. They are fully integrated into the event staff. Some are carrying trays, others are checking press badges, and a few are working the security gates. If a single Ghost Protocol operative

Chapter: Julian CrossLater that night, back at the Foundation safe house, the air was thick with the smell of coffee. Jackson had spent twenty minutes on a secure phone with his old contacts in London. When he finally hung up, he looked at the group with a grim expression."Julian Cross is a real person," Jackson said. "My contacts found his file. He was one of the most decorated soldiers in British history. He has fifteen confirmed kills and did dozens of secret missions in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan."Jackson opened his laptop and turned the screen around. A photo appeared of a man in his early forties. He had short hair, and a sharp jawline"In 2009, Cross led a team into Syria to find a weapons factory," Jackson explained. "He killed eleven people during that raid. Three of them were children. He tried to claim they were armed, but the evidence showed he had murdered civilians."Charlotte stared at the photo. Her voice was full of anger. "He killed children?"

Chapter: The LeakThe Foundation safe house stood as a lonely stone sentinel amidst the Scottish highlands. No neighbors lived within a twenty-mile radius, and the horizon remained unbroken by cell towers or the intrusion of internet signals.Derick arrived first, steering a rental car he had secured under a digital ghost of an identity. He had taken every possible precaution, leaving his primary phone in a drawer in New York, navigating three separate international flights with three different passports, and swapping vehicles twice during the final leg of the journey.Jackson followed shortly after, then Charlotte, Lily, and finally Marcus. Each member arrived via a distinct route. They eventually gathered in the main room, where the scent of burning peat filled the air and the fire crackled with a steady, rhythmic heat."Everyone sweep yourselves right now," Jackson said. He began distributing handheld detection devices to the group.They spent the next twenty minutes checking every seam of their clo

Chapter: CompromisedDerick stared at the secure video screen showing Victoria Laurent's face. The Foundation technology specialist waited patiently for his decision."I need you to go deeper," Derick said. "Every corporation that benefited from Ghost Protocol assassinations. I want ownership structures, financial connections,and everything."Victoria hesitated. "Mr. Sekwiga, with respect, I work for Sebastian Dubois. He assigned me to help with pattern analysis, but expanding the investigation would require his authorization.""Then I'll get it from someone with equal authority," Derick replied. He switched to another line and called the one person he trusted least but needed most right now.The call connected. Victoria Laurent's face appeared on screen, but this was a different Victoria Laurent.Derick had to remind himself this wasn't Victoria. The Foundation had too many Laurents. This was someone else entirely. He'd been told her name but couldn't recall

Chapter: The ArchitectDerick was reviewing security protocols for the bait operation when his phone buzzed with an encrypted message from an unknown number. He opened it and saw two words: "Call me. - Raven"He remembered Raven, the former Ghost Protocol assassin he'd met in that warehouse near Prague weeks ago. The man who'd warned him about Phantom and then disappeared into the shadows.Derick dialed the number attached to the message. It rang once before connecting."Mr. Sekwiga," Raven's voice was rough, accented with Eastern European inflection. "I see you survived Prague. Phantom was disappointed.""You have information?" Derick asked."I have something that will interest you. A list. The Ghost Protocol's current priority targets." Papers rustled on the other end of the line. "Twelve world leaders. Eight business titans. All scheduled for elimination within the next eighteen months."Derick felt his pulse quicken. "Send me the list.""A
