Harry and Levi had switched locations.

Now stationed on the top floor of an abandoned, three-story commercial office building just across the street, an old adjacent structure that directly overlooked the rear of the Apex Clinic, they crouched low behind the ledge, their binoculars trained on the back of the Apex Clinic at the maintenance facility.

Levi lowered his binoculars and let out a slow breath. “This is the best view we can get without risking exposure.”

Harry nodded, adjusting the focus with a twist. “Yeah, this spot’s perfect. No clinic staff will suspect anything from this angle, and no cameras can catch us.”

From their vantage point, they had a clear view of the side and rear of the maintenance building.

Harry muttered under his breath, “Second day watching this place. No janitors. Not a single soul, and one would think a maintenance building like that would be in constant use.”

Levi leaned against the wall, replying, “He must really not want to get caught. He's defin

“I don’t know what your connection is to Azrael,” Callen continued. “But if there’s any chance, any way, you can convince him to come to the capital, even for just a brief moment… it could mean everything.

That’s the most I can promise.” Callen nodded, clearly grateful, though the tightness in his shoulders didn’t ease. His visit had been desperate, but he remained composed. “Thank you.” He turned and walked away quickly, disappearing down the hallway without another word. Jarvis stood by the door

Jarvis and Jason hadn’t exchanged a single word since returning home. The boy had locked himself away in his room, refusing to come down for meals, ignoring the maids’ gentle knocks, and even turning away his old nanny, the one person who could usually get through to him. But Jarvis hadn’t bothered to press. He had other, far more important things demanding his attention… like the ring now snugly sitting on his finger. Leaning back in his leather chair, Jarvis rolled the ring with his thumb, tracing its smooth, polished surface. A pleased sneer formed on his lips. He had tested it already, and it worked. A ring that made him invincible. Untouchable. Unstoppable. Jarvis chuckled quietly to himself, the sound deep and smug. “What a jackpot I hit,” he muttered, sinking further into the comfort of his office chair, as though the world now lay beneath his feet. Then came a soft knock on his door. His brow creased. “Not now,” he called, eyes still on the ring, unwilling to be distract
