Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Five
The heavy steel door of the medical ward slid open with a sharp, mechanical click, and Kaelen was instantly surrounded. He wasn't just given an escort; he was being led to the General's office by a bunch of guards who looked like they were bracing for a prison riot. He whistled sarcastically when he saw the dozen soldiers flanking along his sides, their rifles held firmly across their chests, their eyes glued to his every movement. "Wow," Kaelen muttered, a lazy, mocking smirk pulling at the corner of his lips as he looked at the wall of camouflage and body armor around him. "A dozen of you? I’m truly honored. You guys really must be afraid of me if it takes a whole squad just to walk a guy in hospital slippers down the hall." One of the soldiers didn't find the joke funny at all. His face twisted into a harsh scowl, and he reached out, his heavy gloved hand shoving Kaelen roughly between the shoulder blades. "Shut the fuck up and keep moving, Hart. You
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Four
Kaelen gritted his teeth, the muscles in his jaw bunching up so tightly it was painful. It wasn't a friend at all. It was actually the bastard investor, the billionaire middleman who had smoothed things over with the military to get this project running in the first place. He glared at the latter the same way you glared at your arch enemy, his eyes burning with a raw, vicious intensity that could have cut through steel.The investor stood under the harsh fluorescent light, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. He let out a short, uncomfortable chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck as Kaelen’s death stare hit him full force. Realizing the room was entirely too loud with tension, the investor nodded for the doctor to leave the room, waving a hand toward the door.The doctor hesitated, his fingers tightening around his digital tablet. He looked between the restrained CEO and the wealthy investor, his brow furrowing deeply. "Sir, I’m not sure leaving Kaelen a

Kaelen blinked, his eyelids feeling like they were coated in sand as he forced them open. The first thing that hit his vision was a stark, sterile white ceiling panel. The fluorescent lights glowing down from above were completely blinding, forcing him to squeeze his eyes shut again as a sharp ache throbbed right behind his temples. He groaned, a dry, raspy sound escaping his throat.He tried to shift his weight to sit up, but the moment he moved, he felt a heavy, unyielding resistance. He opened his eyes fully this time, braving the harsh glare, and looked down at his arms and torso. He was completely strapped down. Heavy, thick green canvas straps—those brutal, military belt-like ropes—were securely buckled across his chest, thighs, and wrists, pinning him flat against the stiff mattress of the medical cot.As he lay there panting, his back hurt a bit, a deep, radiating ache flaring up along his spine. A tiny, localized sting on his lower back served as a painful
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Two
Miranda wasn't expecting her to be here at all, her eyes widening slightly as she looked at Jonah with a deep, questioning glance. Her hand instinctively drifted an inch closer to her waistband where her sidearm was tucked away, her internal detective radar instantly pinging. They were supposed to be completely off the grid, and yet a civilian researcher had just knocked on the front door of their most secure facility."Care to explain why your little lab partner is standing in the alley, Jonah?" Miranda asked, her voice dropping into a low, cautious whisper. "Because if she was followed, we have a massive problem."Jonah quickly waved his hands, trying to get her to relax. "Lower the temperature, Miranda. She wasn't followed. I’ve been monitoring the street cams for the last hour. She's a friendly."Miranda let out a sudden, amused bark of a laugh, the word choice making her chuckle. "A friendly? What is this, a military operation now? You’ve been spending way too much time listening
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty One
The tires of Miranda’s heavy modified SUV screeched slightly as she pulled up into the hidden alleyway that led to the Nest. This place was an absolute dump from the outside, looking like nothing more than an abandoned auto-repair shop covered in layers of grime and old graffiti. But inside, it was a high-tech fortress designed to disappear from every radar in the city. She killed the engine, hopped out of the driver's seat, and walked toward the back of the vehicle.She began hauling a massive load of equipment, her arms full of plastic crates, wires, and strange metallic boxes that looked completely out of place in a normal office setting. Balancing the heavy load against her hip, she punched in the secure code on the keypad by the heavy steel door. The lock clicked, and she pushed her way inside, the cold air from the high-powered server cooling units hitting her face instantly.Jonah was sitting at a makeshift desk surrounded by three giant monitors that were blinking with green l
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty
KaelenKaelen slammed his palm onto the mahogany desk, the sound echoing sharply through the small, air-conditioned office. He didn't care about being polite anymore. He had spent days in this military hole, and his patience had officially evaporated."What do you mean I can't meet the higher-ups right now?" Kaelen growled, leaning over the desk so he was inches away from the lieutenant's face. "We had an agreement. I did the work. I delivered the results. Now, get me the people who can sign my exit papers."The lieutenant didn't even look up from his tablet, though his fingers were twitching slightly. "I am sorry, Mr. Kaelen, but like I told you ten minutes ago, it is beyond my jurisdiction. The colonels and the generals are in a closed-door briefing. Nobody goes in, and nobody comes out until they are finished.""That is total bullshit and you know it," Kaelen snapped, his voice rising. "How could you even agree to this? You promised me that as soon as the test was successful, I wou
