CHAPTER 151
Damien showed the text to Torres immediately. His hand trembled as he held the phone out for her to read the threatening message from Believer 7.Torres took the phone and studied the text carefully. Her jaw tightened. "I'll start tracing this immediately but I already know it will lead nowhere. These people are too sophisticated."She handed the phone to a cyber specialist who began running traces and analyzing metadata. Torres turned back to Damien with serious eyes."We need to discuss options," she said. "This threat is credible. They just sent a professional assassin after Marcus. They're not bluffing."They moved to a conference room in the safe house facility. Torres pulled up files on her laptop while Damien sat across from her feeling exhausted."I suggest moving the entire family to a federal safe house indefinitely," Torres said. "You, Simone, Emma, Ashley, the twins, and Marcus all in one secure location until we identify
CHAPTER 152
Agents moved immediately into defensive positions throughout the facility. Their training kicked in and they spread out to cover all entry points with weapons drawn.Torres pushed Damien toward the interior room where Simone, Emma, Ashley, and the twins were gathered. "Move now. Get everyone to the panic room."Emma was crying, terrified by the sudden darkness and chaos. Her small voice called out for her father. "Daddy, what's happening? I'm scared."Ashley held the twins close to her chest. The babies sensed the fear around them and started wailing.Simone struggled to stand despite the doctor's orders. Maternal instinct overrode everything else. She would not lie helpless while her family was in danger."Stay down," Damien said urgently. He helped her to her feet anyway, knowing she would not listen. "We need to move quickly."Damien pulled them all toward the most secure room at the center of the facility. A reinforced panic
CHAPTER 153
The panic room door opened with a heavy metallic sound. Torres stood in the doorway looking devastated. Her usual composure was completely shattered.Behind her, agents were restraining one of their own. A man in FBI uniform was bleeding from his shoulder. His hands were cuffed behind his back.Damien recognized him immediately from briefings. Agent Carson Miller. A fifteen-year veteran of the bureau. Torres stepped into the panic room and her voice didn't sound cheerful. "Miller has been feeding information to the Believers for weeks. Safe house locations, witness statements, surveillance operations. Everything."Simone gasped and pulled Emma closer. Ashley stared in shock. The twins had finally quieted but now sensed the new tension."He's Believer 4," Torres continued. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. "He's been working for them from the inside."Damien felt rage building in his chest like a volcano about to erupt. This man had betrayed everyone. Because of him, Damien'
CHAPTER 154
Damien could not speak. His throat closed completely. The armored vehicle suddenly felt like it was spinning even though it moved steadily forward.Marcus's words replayed in his mind. Each one was a knife twisting deeper. Marcus stole money that should have protected Katarina. Marcus's addiction cost an innocent woman her life.And Volkov knew, that was why the revenge was so personal and so relentless. So willing to destroy everything and everyone connected to Marcus.It was not just about testimony against a criminal organization. It was about a father who lost his daughter because of Marcus's selfish, desperate act.Torres leaned forward in her seat watching Damien carefully. "What's happening? What did Marcus say?"Damien held up a hand. His mind raced through years of events seeing them all in a new terrible light.He finally found his voice but it came out shaky. "You let me believe we were innocent victims. You let me risk everything for this.""Damien, please," Marcus sobbed
CHAPTER 155
Torres flew to Prague within forty-eight hours. Agent Larry accompanied her as required by protocol. The flight was long and filled with strategic planning.Damien insisted on joining them despite warnings that it was too dangerous. He needed to face Volkov himself now that he knew the full truth about Marcus's betrayal.Simone begged him not to go but she understood why he must. "Promise me you'll come back," she whispered at the airport. Her eyes were red from crying."I promise," Damien said and held her tight. Emma clung to his leg not wanting to let go of her father again.The secure facility where they were staying was guarded heavily enough that Simone felt safe for now. FBI agents rotated shifts outside their doors every six hours.Emma stayed with her mother and Ashley while Damien was gone. She was unaware of the latest revelations about Uncle Marcus and his terrible choices.Ashley had taken time off from work to help with Emma. The little girl needed stability and familiar
CHAPTER 156
Torres immediately made calls to have all three suspects detained. Her fingers moved across her phone screen rapidly issuing commands to field teams across the country.FBI agents descended on Robert Carlos's office in the Cyber Division within twenty minutes. Armed and prepared for resistance. But he was not there.His desk had been cleared out completely. No personal items or files. His computer was wiped clean with thoroughness.He disappeared hours ago, likely warned by Agent Miller before Miller's arrest. The timeline suggested Carlos had at least a six-hour head start."Damn it," Larry muttered looking at the empty office. "He knew we were coming. Miller must have gotten a message out somehow."Sarah Mitchell at the Department of Defense was found at her desk. She was calmly packing files into a leather briefcase when agents entered her office.When agents tried to question her, she smiled and said, "I have been expect
CHAPTER 157
FBI cyber specialists scrambled to identify and stop whatever malware Robert Carlos deployed. Computer screens glowed in the darkened command center as fingers flew across keyboards desperately.They traced his digital footprint to a server farm in Virginia within thirty minutes. The location was isolated in an industrial park surrounded by empty warehouses.But when agents raided it, they found the servers were rigged with physical explosives set on timers. Red digital displays counted down from forty-five minutes in a steady rhythm.The bomb squad was called in to disarm them while cyber teams tried to extract data before it was destroyed. Men in protective gear moved carefully around the wires and circuit boards.Torres realized Carlos had been planning this for weeks, maybe months. Every move had been calculated and every contingency prepared for.Every piece of evidence the FBI recovered was stored on networked systems that Carl
CHAPTER 158
Torres put the call on speaker so Damien and the task force could hear. Her hand was steady as she pressed the button but her jaw was tight.Robert Carlos sounded relaxed, like he was calling to discuss dinner plans rather than cyberterrorism. His voice had an easy confidence that made everyone in the room tense."I am prepared to give you the decryption key," Carlos began. "All I want in return is complete immunity from prosecution and fifty million dollars transferred to an offshore account."Torres responded coldly. "We do not negotiate with traitors. You will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."Carlos laughed. The sound was light and mocking. "In forty-seven minutes, everything you have worked for disappears into the hands of foreign governments and criminal organizations."He paused to let that sink in. "I have already received bids from three countries and two cartels. The going price for U.S. military in
CHAPTER 159
Kevin Gavin explained his plan while the command center listened with rapt attention. His voice was steady despite the pressure weighing on every word."I have been studying Robert Carlos's coding patterns for hours," Kevin said. "Every programmer has a signature. Signature means unique ways they structure code, favorite algorithms, repeated syntax."He pulled up screens showing lines of malware code. Kevin identified Carlos's signature throughout the malware. Specific patterns that appeared again and again."If I can predict how Carlos generates encryption keys based on that signature, I might be able to recreate the key without his cooperation," Kevin explained.Torres leaned forward. "How likely is this to work?""Honestly?" Kevin adjusted his glasses. "It is a long shot. Encryption keys are designed to be impossible to guess, but Carlos's ego left breadcrumbs I can work with."He pointed at specific code structures. "He
CHAPTER 160
The cyber team raced to isolate the corruption virus before it spread through all the recovered files. Red warning messages flashed across every screen in the command center.Kevin worked alongside FBI specialists to build firewalls between data segments and sacrificed some files to save others. It was digital triage and choosing what to save and what to let die."We need to segment the databases," Kevin shouted over the chaos. "Cut off the infected sections before the virus jumps to clean files."Another specialist typed beside him. "If we isolate too much, we will lose critical evidence. If we isolate too little, we will lose everything.""Then we make the best choices we can," Kevin said. His hands moved across the keyboard with speed.Torres barked orders to field agents over her phone. "Find Robert Carlos NOW. He is still on that phone signal. Triangulate and mobilize."Every FBI agent in the DC area received the alert
