The lecture hall was filled to the brim. Leo was sitting in the third row, near the window. His notebook was open. His pen was in his hand. He wasn't writing.The professor went on and on about things. History. Modern history. The official version. The one the governments had agreed on."...the terrorist organization known as Phoenix was dismantled after a coordinated international effort. The leaders were apprehended. The facilities were destroyed. The threat was neutralized."Leo stared at the screen. At the photos of buildings on fire. At the faces of men in uniforms."Preposterous," he whispered."The Zero Collective was a fringe group that claimed responsibility for several attacks. They were ultimately defeated by joint task forces. No survivors were identified."Leo's hand tightened on his pen. He pressed his lips into a straight line. His eyes were burning with anger.The professor kept talking. "The aftermath of the conflict led to widespread medical reforms. The so-called 'ge

Elena’s PovJax was lying on the seat with his eyes closed. His breathing was shallow. His face was pale. His chest was still bleeding. He had lost a lot of blood. I didn't expect him to still be alive but somehow, he was.I held his hand. My fingers were tight around his. I wouldn't let go. I couldn't let go."Jax, you did it. It has ended. We made it," I whispered.Caiman sat in the back. His eyes were on the floor. His hands were in his lap. “Marcus is dead. Helena is dead. Anya Thorne is dead. It's all over,” he thought.Rina drove. Her knuckles were white on the wheel. Her jaw was tight.They reach the bunker where they first met Helena. Rina switched the engine off and the snowcat stopped.Caiman got out. He walked to the back. He opened the door.I looked at him. "He is already too weak. He lost a lot of blood and can't walk.""Then I'll carry him."He lifted Jax. His arms were shaking. He was tired. But he lifted him. He carried him into the bunker. He laid him on a cot.I fo

The snowcat lurched across the ice. The engine was making a cracking sound. The wind howled outside. The windows were frosted over. I could barely see. I was trying my best to stay alive. Caiman's shirt was used to hold the bleeding spot but it was soaked now. My hand was pressed against my chest. Blood seeped through my fingers. My vision was blurry. My breathing was shallow.Elena sat next to me. Her hand was on my arm. Her grip was tight. Her fingers were digging into me."Stay with me Jax," she said. Her voice was shaking."Elena, I'm trying." I said slowly."Try harder." Her voice was firm. She bit her fingernails.I almost smiled. My lips barely moved. My eyes were half closed.Rina was driving. Her hands were tight on the wheel. Her eyes were fixed on the white nothing ahead. She hadn't blinked in minutes.Caiman was in the back. Marcus was next to him. The man was barely still alive. His eyes were closed. His chest was moving slowly. Too slowly.Evelyn was next to Marcus. Her

I was packing my bag when the satellite phone started ringing loudly. The high-pitched screech of an emergency frequency. The kind that only got used when someone was about to die.I dropped the bag and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"A voice came through shaky and desperate."Jax. It's Evelyn."I froze. "Evelyn. Where are you?""I'm with my mother. And Anya. At the backup facility. In Antarctica. The one I told you about."My hand tightened on the phone. "What are you talking about? We're going to Perth.""Don't go to Perth." Her voice cracked. "It's a lie. It's a trap. Anya set it up. She wanted to get you away from here. So she could finish what she started."I looked at the map on the table. At the route to Perth. At the plane we had chartered. At the hours of planning."What's in Perth?" I asked."Nothing. An empty clinic with some guards. She was going to kill you there. Or capture you. I don't know. But it wasn't Marcus Cain.""Where is he?""He's here. In Antarctica. Anya found hi

I sat at the table with the note from Helena spread out in front of me. I had read it twenty times. My fingers were flat on the paper. The edges were curled from being folded and unfolded.Elena came in from behind me. Her face was still damp from washing it. Her hair was wet. She sat down across from me. The chair scraped against the floor."Any news?" she asked.I shook my head. "Rina's still going through the files."She nodded. "Marcus Cain?""Nothing.""He's hiding.""Or dead.""He's not dead. People like him don't die."I widened my eyes and blew out air from my mouth. I didn't answer. I looked at the note again.Elena leaned forward. "What are you thinking?""I'm thinking about what Helena said. 'I'm not done yet.'""You don't believe her.""I really don't know. I don't know what to believe anymore."Rina came in. She was holding a tablet she found in one of the rooms. Her face was pale. Her eyes were red. She hadn't slept."I found something," she said.She set the tablet on t

The wind was a living thing. It didn't just blow. It attacked us like terrorists.I pulled my coat tighter. The fabric was thin and old. It didn't block anything. The cold found its way through every seam, every gap, every loophole. My hands were numb inside my gloves. My face felt raw. My eyes watered.Elena walked beside me. Her steps were slow. Heavy. Her boots crunched on the ice. She hadn't spoken since we left the bunker.Rina was ahead of us. Her head was down. Her shoulders were hunched against the wind.Caiman was behind us. His breathing was labored. His steps were uneven. The reset had taken his strength. He was just a man now. Heavy. Slow. Tired."How far?" I asked.Rina stopped. She pulled a device from her pocket. The screen was cracked. The battery was low. She squinted at it."Two miles," she said."Two miles of this?""Yes."I looked at the white horizon."Then we walk."The wind didn't stop roaring.It howled. It screamed. It pushed against us like a wall.Elena stum
