First Blood
The first explosion shattered the night.I hit the floor as glass rained down from the windows. Maya was already moving, rolling behind the overturned table, pistols raised."They're using grenades," she shouted. "Stay low!"I crawled toward the door. The keys pulsed beneath my skin, feeding me adrenaline. My vision sharpened. My reflexes quickened."I can feel them," I said. "Seven. No, eight. Three in the front. Five circling around back."Maya's eyes widened. "You can sense them?""The network. It's like a radar." I pointed toward the back wall. "They're trying to flank us."She nodded. "You take the front. I'll handle the back.""Maya, I—""Don't argue with me, boy." She smiled grimly. "I've been fighting Alexander's goons since before you were born. Just stay alive."She disappeared through a back door.I turned toward the front.---The first man through the door was fast.I wasn't faster.I was something else.The keys blazed beneath my skin. The network surged through my veins

The Hunter's Trail
I woke to the sound of rain against the warehouse roof.The safe house was silent. Maya was asleep in the corner, her hand resting on a pistol. The contact—Kat—hadn't returned.I sat up slowly. My shoulder ached. My head still throbbed from the night before. But the keys beneath my skin were calm. Resting.I reached out with the network.Faint pulses. Distant echoes. The Observers were out there. Waiting. Hiding. Dying.And Viktor was the closest.I pulled out the folder Maya had given me. Viktor's photo stared back at me. An old man with kind eyes and a weathered face. He ran a small bookstore in the city's historic district. A quiet life. A hidden purpose.But he was marked. Alexander's men were closing in.I stood up. Walked to the window. The rain blurred the city skyline."Can't sleep?" Maya's voice was soft."No. Too much to do."She joined me at the window. "You're thinking about Viktor.""He's running out of time. They all are.""Then we move tonight." She handed me a coffee.
