"Fuck, he double crossed us," Ramesh's words were calm, but they carried a dark omen. Malachi felt his eyelids twitch, as a dark feeling settled inside of him. The ground underneath him shook, and he only had a few seconds to feel anything before it all went up in flames! Boom! There was a loud explosion, and that was it. The place went up in flames, and everyone was thrown meters away from the tower. Malachi reached out to grab Katherine because she was the closest to him, but the force of the explosion was too much, and all of them were thrown in different directions. "Fuck it, he already had plans to blow up the place. Let's get out of here," Malachi shouted. This was a doomed mission from the start, and he blamed himself. He should have known that a person like Korr who was convinced he was right would insist on taking everyone else down with him. In the midst of the smoke from the huge explosion , Malachi was able to see Tara stumbling over to him. "Katherine, Katherine..

Ramesh stood in the command room and pointed at the screen. “Send a citywide alert now. I want every unit looking for him.”An officer typed quickly. “Sir, should we classify him as armed?”“He worked under Korr,” Ramesh said. “Assume he is armed and assume he is loyal to Korr.”Tara spoke from her station. “His stolen communication tablet is active. He tried to mask the signal but I caught the echo.”Ramesh faced her. “Where is he going?”“Downward,” Tara said. “He is moving through lower infrastructure grids. He keeps switching between lines, but I can still track the pulse from the device.”Katherine entered the room holding printed logs. “I found something. He had clearance for supply tunnels under the metro. He worked maintenance rotations three years ago.”Ramesh frowned at her. “You think he is using them now?”“He knows every blind spot there,” Katherine said. “It is the only place he could move without being seen.”Tara nodded. “The signal lines up with that. He is inside the

Malachi crouched behind a stack of crates, sweat running down his face. The detonator timer glowed faintly in the dim light. His earpiece crackled and Korr’s voice came through, sharp and calm."Malachi, do you remember the Omega incident? Every death, every failure, every betrayal. You led the operation, and look at what it caused. Do you feel responsible?" Korr’s tone was measured but cold.Malachi gritted his teeth. "I know what happened. I’ve carried it every day. But I didn’t leave anyone behind intentionally.""Didn’t leave anyone behind?" Korr’s voice echoed. "I was trapped, Malachi. You left me. The world erased me. You and your government failed me. And now I make the world remember."Malachi’s hand tightened on the detonator. "I won’t let you hurt civilians. This stops here."There was a brief silence. "Every move you make will be watched. Every hesitation will cost lives. Can you live with that?" Korr’s tone shifted slightly, a tinge of mockery.Tara’s voice cut through Mal

Malachi kept his eyes on the twin timers as they dropped another second. The steady clicking filled the room. Tara’s voice came through the channel quickly. “I found the second location. I traced the signal interference again. It is under a civilian metro station.”Malachi frowned. “Which station?”“Central Line Five,” Tara said. “It runs under the business district. If it explodes, everything above will collapse.”Ramesh spoke next. “We are alerting the city authorities. Katherine is handling the communication. She will make sure it looks like a routine evacuation.”Katherine joined the channel. “I already contacted them. I told them there is a gas leak. Emergency teams are moving people out quietly.”Malachi adjusted the panel again and checked the wires. “Good. Keep civilians safe.”Ramesh said, “We are dividing teams. One team will head to the metro station. The other team is coming to your location.”Malachi shook his head even though no one could see it. “They cannot enter here

Malachi knelt in front of the explosive device and studied every wire. The small lights on the sides blinked in a steady rhythm. He leaned closer and whispered, “This structure is too stable. Korr planned this months in advance.”A voice crackled in his earpiece. Tara sounded tense. “Your silent beacon just came online for three seconds. It is weak, but I picked it up. I marked your location.”“Good. Do not send anyone in yet,” Malachi said. “The ground is covered with blast sensors.”“I already told Ramesh,” Tara replied. “He is on his way, but he is not rushing in.”Malachi adjusted the detonator casing. He could see a locked panel under the main board. “This thing has more layers than a standard device. Korr is mocking us.”Ramesh’s voice entered the channel. “Malachi, confirm your status.”“I am alive. I am looking at a bomb with too many failsafes.”“Tell me how close you are to the main trigger,” Ramesh said.“It is in front of me. But if I pull one wire blindly, it will activat

Malachi stood in the locker room and tightened the straps on his vest. His hands were steady, but his breathing was slow. He knew what he was about to do. He also knew everyone would try to stop him. Ramesh pushed the door open and stepped inside.Ramesh said, “You cannot go alone.”Malachi replied, “He wants me. He made that clear.”Ramesh shook his head. “That is why you should not go. You are giving him everything he wants.”Malachi answered, “If I do not respond, he will escalate. He attacked the capital broadcast. He attacked the convoy. He nearly blew up my car. He will keep pushing until the casualty count begins.”Ramesh stepped closer. “You are still recovering from the last operation.”Malachi said, “I have recovered enough.”Ramesh pointed at the gear. “This is a trap. Every sign points to it.”Malachi said, “I know.”Ramesh clenched his jaw. “Then why walk into it?”Malachi answered, “Because Korr will not stop unless I show up. And if I wait, he will change his target. He
