That doesn’t match Edward’s behavior at all.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then, all of a sudden, Sophia’s eyes flew wide open. A thought hit her . She sat up straight, her fingers frozen where they were.“Wait…” she said, her voice almost breathless. “When that man pointed the gun at BlackHood in the warehouse… he said something. He explained how he managed to get in. He talked about working with the woman. There must be a clue we can depend on if he really worked with her. Who's the lady and where's she from? Let's start with that and see if we can see anything that can lead us to his discovery".She paused, letting that thought sink in.“Edward would never do something like that. I’ve known him for too long. He wouldn’t sneak behind our backs, not in that way. He just doesn’t have it in him,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. Then she glanced away, lost in thought, her mind racing.“But if it’s not Edward…” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper now. “Then who

At Mr. Howard’s residence, Jenna Myers, Louis, Mr. Howard, and his wife lay unconscious on the floor. Moments later, the emergency response team arrived at the house and swiftly transported all four individuals to the hospital.Meanwhile, at the hospital, Louis’s daughter, Mia, had been anxiously following the unfolding events on the news ever since witnessing her father's sudden collapse during the live broadcast. Distraught but composed, she waited near the hospital entrance, eyes fixed on the doors, heart pounding with fear. As the emergency team wheeled her father and the others into the facility, Mia rushed forward, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. She reached out to Louis, placing her trembling hands gently on his face, refusing to let go even as the stretcher rolled forward. Desperation clung to her as she kept pace beside him, her sobs echoing through the hallway.Just as they approached the emergency room, a stern-looking security guard stepped in front of her, r

Allesandra cleared her throat, gazing at Sophia as she started thinking of what to say. “ Yes, she's a bit close to me when she was here and I know a bit about her when she was here,” Allesandra said, her voice cracking and breaking." Although I can't really say that we are that close but we used to talk also just like the other girls".Sophia smiled faintly taking another step to her. As she stood in front of her, she gazed at her eyes and gently placed one of her hands on her shoulder."My little Angel," she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper." I know you are a very good girl. Now tell me what you noticed about her when she was here".She paused a little, raising the picture again for Allesandra to see. Then, she added," Is she the one?".Allesandra nooded her head twice." She's the one. I'm very sure of that," Allesandra said, her voice clear. " she's the lady who escaped from the warehouse that day"." You are a good girl," Sophia remarked, as she gently placed her hands

“A face mask?” Sophia asked rhetoricall, her voice trembled with disbelief as she turned slowly to face the leader of the warehouse, whose nervous eyes gave away more than his words ever could.“Yes,” Allesandra said firmly, stepping forward. Her eyes were sharp, her voice clear. “That’s when I realized something wasn’t right.”Everyone's attention turned toward her. She took a slow breath and continued.“I was watching her closely. There was something off about her face”.She paused and raised her hand slowly to her own lips, as if trying to show them how it looked. With a gentle motion, she bit softly into the skin on the back of her hand, reenacting what she had seen.“She did that exact thing,” Allesandra said. “Bit her own hand gently. I thought it was a nervous habit at first, but then… I saw it shift.”Sophia stepped closer, her curiosity piqued. “Shift? What do you mean?”“The skin on her face,” Allesandra explained, her tone calm but intense. “It moved, like it wasn’t hers. A

Tie her legs together,” the second girl instructed, her voice calm but firm as she moved with quiet urgency. She reached into the pocket of her jacket and pulled out two ropes, each coiled tightly.Without wasting time, she walked over to the man lying on the ground. She knelt beside him and wrapped one of the ropes securely around his legs, pulling it tight before tying it off with a strong knot. Satisfied, she stood up and looked across the room.With a flick of her wrist, she tossed the second rope to the girl who was still holding onto Sophia. The girl caught it quickly, her hands trembling slightly. She lowered Sophia gently to the ground, then began to tie her legs together just as she’d seen the other girl do.Then, the second girl slowly rose to her feet and turned to face the group of girls scattered around the room. Some were standing in silence, frozen with fear. Others were still hiding, tucked beneath the beds or crouched behind the benches, too scared to move.She took a
