Adrian'a eyes didn't leave the monitor for a single moment. After going over the footage over and over again, he had finally noticed something. The fluidity, the silence and also the deliberate avoidance of detection.All of this indicated that they were dealing with a level 3 operative, or higher. Someone who was trained and confident in their skillsHe leaned back and began running mental maps of tge hospital in his head, overlaying the intruder's paths on layouts. Where could they possibly strike next. Which zone was more vulnerable. Which staff were exposed to their antiques and which patients could unknowingly become collateral.Adrian's jaw tightened. 'The more I keep thinking about this, the more frustrated I get.The double doors to his office opened and Eric walked inside. He approached Adrian quietly, as if he had already sensed the tension in the room from the moment he entered.Adrian didn't look at him immediately.When he spoke, his voice was calm. "We're dealing with a

The moment he finished giving Lily her orders, he stepped outside— not to rest... What he had done was basic and didn't require him to really exert himself.What he wanted to confirm was what his instincts already warned him about. He grabbed the dosage sheet from the clipboard and his eyes narrowed down as he scanned through the numbers.At first glance, it is clearly Lily's script. The familiar loops as well as the familiar slant. The kind of neat and confident writing that nurses and pharmacists instantly trust.But Adrian didn't look at handwriting the way normal people did. He dissected it. And what he saw made his muscles tighten. The spacing between the letters were—— off. By micrometers. The pen pressure as well was way too light and inconsistent.The slant as well? Lily's was disciplined, but this one...it kept on wavering.Someone tried to mimic her handwriting, but failed the moment Adrian got his hands on them.The image formed instantly in his head.First, Lily would get

The monitoring room was already in chaos by the time Adrian pushed the doors open. Screens strobe with error messages and technicians kept shouting over each other.Their fingers flew across their keyboards as they tried to salvage any corrupted data.The whole research floor had already gone dark, and every department could tell what that would mean— Files were bound to get missing, experiments would be set back by months.Some of the staff looked pale with fear, others were angry — but one could tell at first glance that they were all rattled.Adrian ignored the noise entirely. He didn't even bother raising his voice. Instead, he walked straight to the corner console— his own personal console. It was a locked isolated unit the IT team dismissed as redundant.He entered a code— a code only he knew. Instantly, the partitioned system lit up and revealed perfectly preserved data. Completely unaffected by the blackout.The staff all gasped and murmurs began to echo.A young technician st

"Vivian!" Eric shouted, bursting through her lab doors. "Adrian sent this, he said you should examine it!"He pulled out the tiny fragment Adrian had given him and handed it to her.Once she collected it, she stared at it intensively with squinted eyes before she hurriedly went to secure the doors. She didn't want any prying eyes seeing what she was doing.Vivian wasted no time and immediately turned on the lights, before putting her gloves on and calibrating all her instruments. Her systems were instantly put into high alert mode as he fingers moved with precision.She began chemical profiling on the tiny fragment of the residue. The machine made a soft whir as it analyzed the molecular patterns.Vivian watched as the readings populated across the multiple screens. At first, nothing looked unusual. It was just the normal trace metals and lab dust.But then, a moment later her screen shifted. A compound signature emerged causing her to suddenly freeze in place."This signature—" she h

It had already been a full week since the Blackout in MMG. And during that week, a lot had happened. Firstly, most, if not all systems had already been restored to what it once was.Of course after watching the news, other medical groups had tried to use the Blackout as a reason to question Adrian and how he took care of MMG and the patients, but sadly for them— Adrian was able to answer each of their questions in a way that made them back of.Some staff also started becoming suspicious of the recent problems MMG had faced. It was becoming to much to be ignored.Some even began to put the blame on Adrian, saying that he never cared about the company and doesn't even care if MMG was destroyed. Of course Adrian ignored all their remarks.His main attention was on finding the Infiltrator before they could cause any more problems, but for some strange reason— there has been no big or small moves made at MMG, everything just moved at a normal pace.Adrian didn't draw any conclusions yet, a
