The static on the cheap burner phone buzzed loudly in Chief Collins’ ear. He pressed the receiver so hard against his head that his knuckles turned white.

"What do you mean he survived?!" Collins shrieked into the phone, his voice echoing in the small, filthy room of the East End safe house. "I saw him take two armor-piercing rounds to the back! I saw his blood pool on the floor! How is that monster still breathing?!"

"Because he’s not human, Father!" Ferdinand yelled back over the line, his vo

    The nurse stood in the doorway of the ICU, her hands trembling violently as she pointed back inside the room. Her breathing was fast and shallow, her face drained of all color."DOCTOOOORRRRR!" she shrieked again, her voice echoing down the corridor. "COME INSIDE NOW!"Dr. Evans didn't hesitate. He spun on his heel and rushed back into the ward, with Commander Calvin right behind him. Serena scrambled off the cold floor, wiping her tear-streaked face with her hands, and bolted into the room after them.The moment they stepped through the heavy doors, time itself seemed to freeze.The flatline tone was gone. In its place, the heart monitor was emitting a steady, rhythmic, and impossibly strong chime.Beep... Beep... Beep…The white sheet that had covered Dustin’s face just moments ago was pulled down around his chest. Sitting upright on the edge of the mattress, his dark eyes wide open and glowing with an eerie, vibrant warmth, was Dustin.Dr. Evans stopped dead in his tracks, his jaw

    As the first golden rays of morning light broke through the storm clouds, Dustin was carefully moved back down to his initial room on the third floor. The hallway had been cleared of all debris, but a tense, heavy silence hung over the entire wing.Inside the private room, the soft, steady rhythm of the life support machine sounded through the quiet air.Beep... beep... beep…Serena sat right beside the bed, holding Dustin’s pale hand tightly between her own. She adjusted the warm blanket over his chest, searching his face for any sign of movement.Suddenly, the smooth, steady rhythm of the heart monitor shattered.BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!The machine began shrieking at a deafening pitch. Dustin’s chest heaved violently. His entire body began to convulse and shake frantically against the white mattress, his head snapping side to side as his lips turned a terrifying shade of blue."Dustin?!" Serena gasped, her eyes bulging with instant terror. She stood up so fast her chair crashed on

    The assassin gasped, his silver mask tearing off to reveal a scarred, ruthless face. Realizing he was outmatched in close-quarters combat against a raging Red Eagle Commander, the assassin threw a flash-bang capsule at Calvin's feet.BANG!A blinding white light and high-pitched screech filled the small entryway. By the time Calvin blinked away the white spots in his vision, the hallway outside was empty. The assassin had vanished into the shadows of the hospital."Calvin!" Serena screamed from behind the bed, scrambling over to him. "You're hit! You're bleeding!"Calvin held his right arm, blood gushing between his gloved fingers, but his face remained completely emotionless."It's just a scratch, Mrs. Quinn," Calvin rasped out, tearing a strip of cloth from his inner vest to wrap tightly around the wound. "Don't worry about me."Serena looked at him, her chest heaving, her face pale with a terrifying realization. "Calvin... how did he know? How did an assassin know we moved Dustin u

    The relentless sound of gunfire finally died down, leaving behind a heavy, suffocating silence punctuated only by the low groans of the wounded and the hiss of broken steam pipes.The smoke slowly cleared from the third-floor corridor. Dozens of Crucifix mercenaries lay motionless on the blood-stained floor . The surviving syndicate members threw down their weapons in absolute terror, scrambling backward through the shattered maintenance tunnel to escape into the dark night.The news spread among the fleeing gang members like a disease: The God of War wasn't in Room 304! It was a setup!The Red Eagle squad had secured the perimeter, but the cost was heavy. Multiple soldiers lay injured, and several brave officers had lost their lives in the brutal hallway firefight.Up on the top floor inside the sealed vault room, Serena sat frozen in her chair, clutching Dustin's motionless hand. Her eyes were wide, fixed on the heavy steel door.CLACK. HEAVY LATCH UNLOCKED.The door suddenly swung

    The digital clock on the wall of the top-floor vault room blinked softly in the dark.11:59 PM.Serena sat in the dim light, her hands wrapped tightly around Dustin’s cold, motionless fingers. Beside the bed, the heart monitor emitted a steady, quiet rhythm: beep... beep... beep…"Dustin..." Serena whispered, leaning in close to his ear, her voice trembling with intense emotion. "It’s midnight. Please... if you can hear me, give me a sign. Don't let these monsters win."Dustin lay completely still, his eyes closed tight, completely unresponsive under the heavy sedatives.Outside on the third-floor recovery wing, the atmosphere was thick with tension. The Red Eagle soldiers stood in tight formation down the main hallway, their heavy tactical gear locked in place. Rifles were raised, sights aimed squarely at the double doors at the far end of the corridor. They formed an impenetrable wall of steel, ready for whatever nightmare was about to crawl out of the dark.Kael stood at the front

    Calvin turned to Serena, his eyes burning with tactical brilliance. "Mrs. Quinn, you and I are going to move him secretly right now. Kael!""Sir!" Kael stood at attention."Order every Red Eagle operative on this floor to stay at their designated outer posts," Calvin commanded coldly. "Tell them we are expecting a minor security sweep at midnight. Do not mention a mole, and do not mention moving the Lord Supreme. Keep everyone focused on the main perimeter!""Understood, sir!" Kael saluted and rushed out to execute the orders.Calvin immediately called Dr. Evans into the private office, closing the blinds. In less than five minutes, a silent, high-stakes tactical plan was forged.Under the cover of a routine linen delivery, Dr. Evans rolled a covered transport gurney into Dustin's recovery room. Working in complete, breathless silence, Calvin and Dr. Evans lifted Dustin’s unconscious body off the main bed, placing him carefully onto the lower platform of the gurney, covering him entir
