CHAPTER 152
Agents moved immediately into defensive positions throughout the facility. Their training kicked in and they spread out to cover all entry points with weapons drawn.Torres pushed Damien toward the interior room where Simone, Emma, Ashley, and the twins were gathered. "Move now. Get everyone to the panic room."Emma was crying, terrified by the sudden darkness and chaos. Her small voice called out for her father. "Daddy, what's happening? I'm scared."Ashley held the twins close to her chest. The babies sensed the fear around them and started wailing.Simone struggled to stand despite the doctor's orders. Maternal instinct overrode everything else. She would not lie helpless while her family was in danger."Stay down," Damien said urgently. He helped her to her feet anyway, knowing she would not listen. "We need to move quickly."Damien pulled them all toward the most secure room at the center of the facility. A reinforced panic
CHAPTER 151
Damien showed the text to Torres immediately. His hand trembled as he held the phone out for her to read the threatening message from Believer 7.Torres took the phone and studied the text carefully. Her jaw tightened. "I'll start tracing this immediately but I already know it will lead nowhere. These people are too sophisticated."She handed the phone to a cyber specialist who began running traces and analyzing metadata. Torres turned back to Damien with serious eyes."We need to discuss options," she said. "This threat is credible. They just sent a professional assassin after Marcus. They're not bluffing."They moved to a conference room in the safe house facility. Torres pulled up files on her laptop while Damien sat across from her feeling exhausted."I suggest moving the entire family to a federal safe house indefinitely," Torres said. "You, Simone, Emma, Ashley, the twins, and Marcus all in one secure location until we identify
CHAPTER 150
Damien pushed Marcus to the ground just as the knife slashed through the air where Marcus's back had been seconds before. They hit the grass hard and rolled together.The attacker stumbled from the missed strike but regained his balance quickly. He turned on Damien with cold, emotionless eyes. No anger, no hesitation. Just calculation.This was not a random criminal. This was a professional hired to kill. His movements were controlled and efficient. Every step was intentional.Marcus lay on the ground beneath Damien, staring in shock. His eyes were wide and his breathing came in short gasps. "What's happening?"The attacker raised the knife again. The blade glinted in the afternoon sun. He moved toward them faster this time.Damien scrambled backward, pulling Marcus with him. His hands searched for anything to defend himself with. His fingers closed around a rock from the garden border.He threw it hard, hitting the man's sh
CHAPTER 149
Damien immediately called the rehab center where Marcus was staying. His hands shook as he dialed and he pressed the phone hard against his ear waiting for someone to pick up.The receptionist answered with a cheerful voice that felt wrong given the urgency. "Serenity Hills Recovery Center, how may I help you today?""I need to speak to Marcus Webb right now. It's an emergency." Damien's voice was breaking and urgent.The receptionist's tone remained calm and professional. "I'm sorry sir, but Mr. Webb is currently in a group therapy session and cannot be disturbed. Sessions run until three o'clock."Damien felt panic rising in his throat. "Get him out of there NOW. His life is in danger. This is not a joke."The receptionist, startled by his panic, stuttered. "Sir, I don't understand. What kind of danger are you talking about?""Just get him out of that room and keep him safe. Please. Do it right now before it's too late."
CHAPTER 148
Patricia was hospitalized under guard. Two federal agents stood outside her room at all times while doctors treated her injuries from the crash.She refused to talk to the interrogators. When Torres arrived with questions, Patricia cited her right to an attorney and turned her face to the wall."We can make this easier," Torres said. "Tell us who Believer 7 is and we can negotiate."Patricia said nothing. Her silence was deliberate and infuriating. She stared at the ceiling like Torres was not even in the room.Anya was placed in protective custody. A child psychologist spent hours with her in a comfortable room designed to put traumatized children at ease.The psychologist's report came back detailed and heartbreaking. Anya was traumatized, confused, and believed she was helping her mommy stop bad people from hurting her biological mother's memory."She thinks she's one of the good guys," the psychologist told Torres and Da
CHAPTER 147
Bomb squads descended on Emma's school at dawn. Their trucks blocked the street and officers in protective gear moved swiftly through the morning darkness.Students and teachers were evacuated to a safe location three blocks away while K-9 units swept every classroom, every locker, every storage closet. The dogs worked methodically, sniffing for explosives while handlers watched for alerts.Parents panicked when they received emergency notifications. They rushed to the school in pajamas and bathrobes, desperate to find their children. News helicopters circled overhead and reporters set up cameras on nearby corners.The chaos was something else. Parents screamed at police officers demanding information. Teachers tried to keep students calm while their own hands shook. The principal stood in the parking lot looking shell-shocked and helpless.Damien watched the coverage from the safe house, feeling utterly powerless. The television showed aeria
