The facility appeared on the horizon. Massive. Dark. Surrounded by walls and guards and weapons. It looked like a fortress. Like something impossible to breach.

"That's where they're keeping her," Victoria said. "Level five. Medical wing. She'll be under heavy guard. Probably twenty Evolved soldiers just in that section."

"Then we go through them. All of them. Nothing stops us." Jayce loaded his weapon. "Everyone ready?"

Around him, people checked their gear. Said silent prayers. Prepared for what might be their last battle.

The vehicles stopped half a mile from the facility. They'd go the rest of the way on foot. Quiet. Careful. Trying for stealth as long as possible.

"Teams split here," Daniel ordered. "Alpha team, you're with me. We take the east entrance. Bravo team, Jason leads you west. Charlie team, Jayce leads you straight up the middle. We converge on level five. We get Ella. We get out. Clear?"

"Clear," everyone responded.

They moved out. Fifty people splitting into three gr

    "You knew."Jayce's accent dropped. No point maintaining the cover now. "You knew it was me all along.""Of course I knew. From the moment Victoria contacted my people. From the moment you scheduled this meeting. I knew exactly who you were." Marcus Chen walked around them slowly. The guards kept their weapons trained. "Victoria Walker calling on behalf of a mysterious billionaire? Please. The Collector isn't that stupid.""Then why let us in? Why play along?" Victoria's hand moved slowly toward her concealed weapon."Don't." Marcus nodded to a guard. The guard pressed a button. Victoria gasped and collapsed. Some kind of electrical shock. "You're both wearing tracking devices. Concealed weapons. Recording equipment. Did you think we wouldn't scan you? Wouldn't find everything?"Jayce caught Victoria before she hit the ground. "What did you do to her?""Just a small shock. She'll be fine. But now she knows what happens if either of you tries anything stupid. My guards have orders to s

    "They're gone."Jayce stood on the porch watching the FBI vehicles disappear down the road. Ella and Hope. Safe. Protected. Gone."You did the right thing," Victoria said behind him. "They'll be safe now.""Will they? Or did I just hand them over to people I barely know? People who could be working for The Collector?" Jayce turned to face her. "How do I know Frost's contacts are really clean? How do I know this isn't another trap?""You don't. But you trust Frost. And Frost trusts them. Sometimes that has to be enough.""It doesn't feel like enough.""It never does. But standing here worrying won't change anything. We have work to do. Marcus Chen isn't going to stop himself." Victoria pulled out her tablet. "I've been studying his patterns. His operations. The way he thinks. I know how to find him.""How?""His ego. Marcus thinks he's untouchable. Thinks his connections protect him. So he doesn't hide as well as he should. He attends public events. Makes appearances. Shows his face."

    "His name is Marcus Chen. No relation to Victor. Age fifty three. Collector leader for the past twenty years. Specializes in biological weapons and genetic experiments."Leonard displayed Marcus Chen's file on the screen. Photos. Background. Operations. Everything they'd learned from Santos's files."He runs three facilities. One in Singapore. One in South Africa. One in Canada. Each one working on different projects. All of them horrible." Leonard pulled up images. Test subjects. Experiments. Victims. "This is what he does. This is who he is. A monster wearing a human face."The room was silent. Everyone staring at the evidence. At the proof that The Collector was still active. Still destroying lives."Where is he now?" Jayce asked. "Which facility?""Singapore. He's been there for three weeks. Overseeing a new project. Something called Operation Clean Slate. We don't know details yet. But based on his history, it's nothing good.""Then we go to Singapore. We find him. We stop him. W

    "Push! You're doing great! Just one more push!"The doctor's voice filled the delivery room. Ella was screaming. Jayce was holding her hand. Getting it crushed. But not caring."I can't! I can't do this anymore!" Ella was exhausted. Been in labor for fourteen hours. Ready to give up."Yes you can! You're the strongest person I know! You survived kidnapping! You survived Thomas! You can survive this!" Jayce wiped sweat from her forehead. "One more push! Our daughter wants to meet us!"Ella took a deep breath. Squeezed Jayce's hand hard enough to hurt. And pushed with everything she had left.A baby's cry filled the room. Loud. Angry. Alive."It's a girl!" The doctor held up the baby. Tiny. Perfect. Covered in blood and vernix. But beautiful. The most beautiful thing Jayce had ever seen."She's here," Ella sobbed. "Our baby's here."They cleaned the baby. Wrapped her in blankets. Placed her on Ella's chest. Skin to skin. Mother and daughter. Meeting for the first time.Jayce couldn't sp

    Jayce stood there, staring at her body. Waiting for her to get back up. Waiting for another twist. Another trap.But nothing happened. She was gone. Really gone."Is it over?" Victoria asked, clutching her wounded shoulder. "Did we actually win?""Leonard, check the systems. Make sure the virus worked. Make sure all the artificial humans are shut down." Jayce helped Victoria sit. "Someone patch her up. We're not losing anyone else today."Leonard returned to the computers. His hands shaking. "The virus worked. It spread through Santos's entire network. Every artificial human worldwide is shut down. Every facility is offline. Project Rebirth is stopped.""What about the other teams? Daniel in Alaska. Frost in Brazil. Victor in Australia. Can you reach them?"Leonard tried the communications systems. "Signal's back. Jamming is down. I'm getting responses from everyone."He put it on speaker. Daniel's voice came through first. Tired. Wounded. But alive."Boss? Is that you? Tell me you're

    "EMP is ready."Leonard held up his modified phone. It looked normal. But inside, he'd rewired everything. Turned it into a one shot electromagnetic pulse device."When I activate this, it'll fry every electronic device within ten feet," Leonard explained. "The lock on the cell. The cameras watching us. Maybe even the lights. We'll have maybe thirty seconds before backup systems kick in. Thirty seconds to get out and find weapons.""Then we make those thirty seconds count." Jayce positioned everyone by the cell door. "Leonard, you stay in the back. You're not a fighter. Victoria, Daniel, you're with me at the front. FBI agents, you follow close. We move fast. We fight hard. We don't stop until we're armed and dangerous.""And then?" one of the agents asked."Then we find Santos's control center. We stop Project Rebirth. We save the world." Jayce looked at Leonard. "Do it. Now."Leonard activated the device. The EMP burst out. Invisible. Silent. But devastating to electronics.The lock
