The elevator doors slid shut in front of Raina She pressed the button Leon had instructed: OM The panel lit up, but the floor numbers didn’t match The elevator went down Deeper than the lobby, deeper than the basement She was confused, she had never been in an elevator that went down from the ground floor The hum of machinery grew louder The light dimmed slightly, her hand tightened on the diamond card She remembered Leon’s calm voice when he gave her the card The doors opened A cold, antiseptic scent hit her first Then the sight Military-grade screens lined the walls Encrypted terminals blinked in silent rhythm Men and women in dark suits walked past, armed but quiet Live feeds streamed across massive monitors She stepped inside slowly, was she in another universe? Her heels clicked against the polished floor, her pulse quickened This was not normal Now she understood, this was Omnipower Omnipower didnt have a physical location known to the public, but here she w

Leon drove the Ferrari with Tara in the backseat scrolling through her phone His mind was still on what Jake had earlier saidHow did the council connect to Kendra and the Don The questions lingered but he had no answered for it yet The Vorene’s estate loomed aheadThe estate gate rolled open after Tara imputed the pass codeThat was it, driving Tara Vorene to and fro will soon be a normal thing Leon pulled up the car over in front of the Vorene mansionLeon steeped out of the car, then turned around to open the passenger door for Tara The door clicked opened and he held it for her to exit“You already know your room-and first thing tomorrow I need you to wash this car, understood?” Tara said as she stepped out “Yes, ma’am” Leon responded bowing down slightly “Good” Tara said, fully exiting the carLeon let out a loud exhale as if he had been holding his breath for a very long time Tara Vorene was really a hand full How did she become fierce, cold and sassy with her words Th

In a dimly lit room with a long table at the middle Their was a black glass surface and a minimal light On that table were seven seats One screen glowing at the center All seven of them had no names, there faces was clearly shown Only silhouettes and voices Silence stretched at first Then a feminine Ai voice sounded “Terry Ferdinand is in custody” There was no reaction “He is sloppy-he let the case linger too long” someone on the table added “How about Kendra?” Another person on the table asked “Contained-she has refused to comply with the investigators, I believe she is scared” the Ai voice responded “She knows the consequences of complying too well” another let out a small laugh “So far, there was not been any evidence except the anonymous leak of Kendra’s confession-but about some minutes ago Chief Sandra reported an external interference in the city’s shipment log” the Ai voice briefed the table “The shipment routes?” Another on the table asked
