After Sharon's words fell off, Dr. Lloyd drew a calm breath and mused, ‘Dear Heaven. It seems like not only Achilles Hector had been active from the shadows.’

Every moment since he set eyes on Sharon Grace, all he had grasped was mystery in motion. She'd literally make one question what they hold in high esteem and have them believe what they wouldn't have imagined.

From how Dr. Lloyd’s eyes were flickering, it looked like he was more eager to uncover what Sharon knew than Star Hayden.

“What's really going on? Abel Hitler? Do you mean the dead ex-chairman of the Liverpool Anti-Fraud Crime Commission? Huh?”

At the sound of ‘dead’, Sharon almost gave in to knowing laughter. She maintained a mysterious expression.

Star huffed in frustration and stood with her arms positioned in akimbo style. “Wa-W-Wait? He was Felix's older brother? Like a cousin or something like that?”

Star's brow raised while moving her lips. The more she listened to her biological mother, the more her confusion skyro

  • 293: The Return

    “Everyone away from the wall!" Brig. Rachael screamed: “Fire in the hole!”She detonated the charges. The explosion blew a hole through the wall large enough for two people to pass through at once.“Move! Move! Move!” Achilles started pushing MPs through. “Stay low, move fast, head for the library exit!”The evacuation began, two at a time. Organized chaos but effective.Twenty seconds.The main doors finally gave way. Attackers poured through. Achilles and the Faithfuls laid down covering fire, giving the MPs time to escape.“Go!” Achilles pushed Margaret toward the hole: “Get them out! I'll hold here!”“Warlord—”“That's an order, Ms. Julian!”Margaret hesitated, then nodded and led the evacuation. Rachael and Anthony went with her, protecting the fleeing MPs.Achilles and Brig. George were the last line of defense. They fired steadily, professionally, making every shot count.“Warlo

  • 292: Siege Of Parliament

    [Houses of Parliament]The emergency session had been called to brief MPs on the terrorist threat. Two hundred members of Parliament gathered in the chamber, along with their staff and security personnel. The Prime Minister was scheduled to speak in thirteen minutes.Achilles stood in the security control room with the Faithfuls, watching multiple camera feeds. Something felt wrong. The attack on Downing Street was too bold, it didn't match Ethan's usual tactics.“Warlord,” Dora Beauty pointed at one of the screens: “Maintenance van entering the underground car park. That's the third one in the last hour.”“Check the credentials.”Dora pulled up the entry logs: “All authorized, proper paperwork. But sir, maintenance usually doesn't work this late.”“Pull up the security footage, show me those vans.”The recordings played. Three white vans, different companies. But Achilles noticed something, the drivers all moved the sam

  • 291: Assasination Hit

    “Juma Archelords,” Achilles said. “They hit us during the speech. Wanted to kill you live on television.”“Did they know… how did they know—”“They have someone inside. Had to. This was too coordinated.” Achilles pulled out his phone, no signal. The bunker blocked everything: “We're locked in until security clears the building.”“How long?”“Could be hours.”The PM sat down heavily on a bench: “They almost got me. In my own office. In the heart of Britain's government.”“But they didn't.” Margaret checked her weapon: “We stopped them.”“This time. What about next time?”“There won't be a next time,” Achilles said firmly, “Because we're ending this soon.”“How?”“We know where Ethan's meeting is happening. Commander Amara gave us the location before she was taken into custody. An old military base outside Liverpool. That's where the Juma leadership is gathering to plan the final attack.”

  • 290: National Address

    [10 Downing Street]The Prime Minister sat at his desk, behind him, the British flag hung perfectly centered. Cameras were positioned, lights adjusted. In ninety seconds, he'd address the nation.Achilles stood in the back of the room with Margaret, watching. They'd spent the day raiding locations, rescuing more hostages, and capturing Juma operatives. But they still hadn't found Ethan, and still hadn't stopped the main attack.The director held up five fingers. Four. Three. Two. One.The red light came on.“Good evening,” the Prime Minister began, his voice steady despite the exhaustion in his eyes: “I'm speaking to you tonight to address a threat against our nation. Over the past week, we've uncovered a terrorist organization operating within Britain; the Juma Archelords.”He paused, letting the name sink in: “This organization, led by enemies of Britain, has carried out multiple attacks. They've kidnapped innocent civilians. M

    “Met him once. Twenty years ago. During the operation against us. He was a good soldier. Better than most.” The commander's expression softened slightly: “He wouldn't leave those children and women behind either."“Then help me save them.”Sixty seconds.The commander sighed: “Northeast corner; third floor, storage room. They're locked in.”“I appreciate it.”Achilles sprinted. Brig. Rachael was beside him despite his orders to evacuate.“I'm not leaving you,” she said firmly.They hit the stairs at full speed. Third floor. The corridor was dark, and they used flashlights to navigate. Northeast corner, a metal door with a heavy padlock.Fifty seconds.“Stand back.” Achilles fired three rounds into the lock, it shattered. He kicked the door open.Five people inside: an elderly man, two women, a teenager, and a child.A child!“Come on! Everyone move!” Brig. Rachael grabbed the

  • 288: Juma Commander

    [Liverpool Industrial District]The second warehouse was bigger than the first. Three stories, multiple rooms, dozens of places to hide explosives or hostages.Thermal scans showed fifteen heat signatures on the second floor. Either more hostages or a trap.“We go in fast,” Achilles ordered. “Same formation; George and Scott, take the west stairs. Rachael, you're with me on the east. Margaret and Anthony, secure the ground floor. Nobody gets in or out without us knowing.”They breached simultaneously at 5:04 AM. The ground floor was empty, just abandoned equipment and old furniture. But voices echoed from above; shouting, movement.“Second floor,” Achilles said into his radio. “Moving up.”Achilles and Rachael climbed the stairs quickly, weapons ready. At the top, a long corridor stretched ahead. Doors on both sides. The heat signatures were scattered across multiple rooms.“Room by room,” Achilles whispered. “Clear each
