Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Four
Firman stared at the glowing computer monitor, his finger clicking the mouse so hard his knuckle turned white. He slammed his hand onto the desk, making his cold coffee splash over the edge of the paper cup.He was absolutely fuming right now. The red text on the screen was practically mocking him, blinking over and over in his face.Access Denied.He clicked the enter key again, but the screen just flashed the exact same annoying error message. He had tried three different master passwords, and none of them were working anymore."Are you kidding me right now?" Firman muttered, pulling at his collar as he felt a sweat break out on his neck. "This is not happening."He had been denied access to several key folders in the main network of Novax. It was not a total lockout, since he could still get into the basic employee logs and the public relations files.But those parts of the system were practically worthless. The really valuable data was the stuff cornered away in the secure partiti

Kaelen stood completely frozen, the cold plastic of the phone pressed so hard against his ear that his skin began to sting. He could not believe what he was hearing.The voice on the other end was too small and too sweet to belong to anyone else. It was his daughter."Mirella?" Kaelen said, his voice barely a whisper."Daddy?" she asked again, her voice sounding a little clearer this time. "Is that really you?"His legs felt incredibly weak, almost like they were going to give out under his weight. He pushed his chair back with a loud scrape, nearly knocking his tray of food off the edge of the table.He stood up shakily and walked away from his table, not even caring about the food anymore. Several soldiers in the cafeteria turned their heads to watch him with curious, quiet gazes.He did not care about their stares or what they thought of him. He just needed to find a place where he could speak without everyone listening to his trembling words.He walked quickly to a dark corner of

Kaelen walked down the gray concrete hallway, keeping his hands stuffed deep inside his pockets. The heavy weight of the last few weeks was still there, but everything had shifted now.With the new knowledge and access he had just managed to secure, he believed he could do a lot of damage. He could finally turn this entire situation around and take control of his own fate.However, he wasn't stupid. He knew he was definitely being monitored by cameras and hidden microphones at every single turn.He forced his face to remain completely blank and tried to keep his excitement down to the barest minimum. Stoicness was the name of this game he thought.If he showed even a hint of a smirk or a confident look, they would lock him down again in a heartbeat. He had to play the part of the defeated, submissive prisoner who had simply accepted his new reality.He turned a sharp corner and headed directly to the main cafeteria. Along the way, he passed a couple of guards and casually greets some
Chapter One Hundred And Ninety One
The door clicked shut behind Kaelen, and Kaine stood there for a moment, his eyes still fixed on the space where the kid had been standing. The silence that followed was the kind that made you think. Not uncomfortable, just... present. Like it had weight. "Well?" Kaine said to the empty room, his voice low and even. "What do you make of that?" Nothing but quiet. Then movement. Fast enough that most people would have missed it, but Kaine had trained his eyes for these things. A figure peeled away from the corner of the wall where the shadows were thickest. Garrett moved like water, all smooth edges and no sound. His camouflage attire was top of the line, the kind that bent light and made you look past him without thinking. He was one of Kaine's best. Been with him for fifteen years. "He's got a plan, sir," Garrett said, stepping closer now. "You could see it in how he held himself. Like he was playing a game and already knew the next three moves." Kaine nodded slowly. He'd seen it t

The hour passed quickly. Too quickly. Kaelen stood in the observation platform overlooking the dome, watching as four men were escorted into the massive space below. They wore simple gray suits, the kind that was easy to move in. Easy to clean blood off of, probably.The general stood beside him, hands clasped behind his back."This test is to observe the capabilities of our new drug," the general said. "We've developed a serum that enhances human physiology. Enhanced strength. Enhanced durability. Increased healing capacity. Everything a soldier could want."Kaelen watched the men move into the dome. They looked nervous. Terrified, actually. His eyes tracked their movements as they were positioned at different points in the space."Are they volunteers?" Kaelen asked, though he already knew the answer."Let's say they were given incentives to participate," the general said.The men's faces told a different story. Kaelen could see it clearly from up here. These weren't people who'd cho

The room was nice enough. Too nice, actually. That was the problem. Nice rooms were meant to make you comfortable, and comfortable people made bad decisions. Or that's what Kaelen kept telling himself as he stared at the ceiling for the hundredth time that morning.He'd been here for over a day now. The general had made sure of that. No visits. No interruptions. Just Kaelen and his thoughts and the slowly building weight of knowing he had to make a choice. The general was clever about it. He wasn't forcing anything. He was just letting the silence do the work, letting Kaelen sit in this room and think about what accepting the offer actually meant.But Kaelen had already decided. He'd known since the moment the general first mentioned it. The answer was yes.The door suddenly swung open. A soldier stood in the doorway, rigid and formal."You're free to go," the soldier said. "General's orders."Kaelen sat up. He felt something shift in his chest, a feeling like static electricity. This
