Julian's name burned on the screen behind Adrian like a brand. Every camera in the auditorium had swung toward the back rows, and the red recording lights looked like a hundred angry eyes all staring at the same man.

Julian stood up. His chair scraped against the floor, and the sound cut through the silence like a nail across glass. He straightened his jacket, lifted his chin, and walked toward the center aisle with the deliberate confidence of a man who still believed his own voice could fix a

Sarah was beside him in seconds. "Adrian. Are you okay?""I'm fine." He wasn't. But that didn't matter right now.Shaw was dragged back to his chair and handcuffed to the armrest. Blood ran from a cut above his eyebrow. He said nothing. His jaw was locked shut, his eyes burning with a fury that had no exit."Who hired you?" Adrian asked.Silence."I'll find out with or without you," Adrian said. "The difference is whether you walk out of this building or get carried."Shaw stared at the wall. His lips didn't move.Adrian turned to Sarah. "His medical bag. Where is it?""Storage room B. We confiscated it when he arrived.""Bring it to me."The bag was a standard black leather case, worn at the corners. Adrian opened it on the table and went through every instrument, every vial, every pocket.His fingers found it inside a false lining at the bottom. A storage device no bigger than a thumb drive, sealed inside a thin metal casing.Sarah connected it to her secure tablet. The screen fille

The room went quiet.Shaw's smile stayed in place, but something behind his eyes shifted. A flicker. A calculation."Compound MX seven is a controlled neurological suppressant," Shaw said, his voice still smooth. "Recovery typically involves a forty eight hour observation period, gradual reduction in dosage, and monitoring for rebound seizures. Standard procedure."Adrian nodded slowly."Wrong."The word dropped into the silence like a stone into a frozen lake."The correct recovery protocol for MX seven involves seventy two hours of monitored isolation, not forty eight," Adrian said. "The dosage reduction follows a four stage pattern, not a gradual taper. And the primary risk isn't rebound seizures. It's memory fragmentation during the first six hours after withdrawal."Shaw's smile disappeared."I know this," Adrian continued, "because MX seven was administered to me eleven times during my imprisonment. The dosage was four hundred milligrams for the first three rounds, increased to

Adrian stared at the photograph on Sarah's tablet. The doctor from his memory was older now, heavier in the face, wearing wire rimmed glasses he hadn't had before. But the eyes were the same. Cold, clinical, the eyes of a man who looked at people the way a butcher looks at meat."His name is Dr. Martin Shaw," Sarah said, scrolling through the file. "Board certified neurological consultant. Currently employed by Whitfield Medical Group.""Whitfield," Adrian repeated. The name sat in his mouth like something rotten."They're one of the companies that issued a public statement supporting Meridian's research practices last year." Sarah looked up at him. "He's protected, Adrian. Well connected, well funded, and very carefully hidden.""Not hidden enough." Adrian took the tablet. "Pull his full medical history. Every license, every institution, every address he's used in the last fifteen years."Sarah had the records within the hour. Adrian spread the documents across the table in the secur

Adrian turned to Sarah. "Preserve every communication connected to the hospital report. Every email, every text, every phone call that touched this building in the last twenty four hours. I want to know who had information they shouldn't have, and I want the trail locked down before anyone can delete it.""Already on it," Sarah said, her fingers moving across her tablet.Adrian stood up. He looked around the table slowly, letting his gaze rest on each face long enough to make them feel it."Anyone else want to tell me how to run my business?"Nobody spoke.He walked out of the conference room and went straight to the secure lab on the seventh floor. The captured attacker's medical file was spread across the table where Sarah had organized it. Photographs, blood panels, injury reports.Adrian picked up the blood work first. Something was wrong."Sarah, look at this." He held up the toxicology panel. "There's a sedative compound in his blood. But it's not standard."She leaned closer. "

"The board has received dozens of inquiries since last night. Clients are nervous. Partners are asking questions." Richard folded his hands on the table. "Until this hospital situation is resolved, we believe it would be appropriate for you to step back from all sensitive projects."A few heads nodded around the table.Adrian looked at him. "You believe.""We believe," Richard repeated, emphasizing the word like it carried the weight of the entire room.Another executive, a younger man named Paul Jennings, leaned forward with a smirk that practically begged to be slapped off his face."Look, Adrian, nobody is questioning your talent. We all know you're brilliant." Paul spread his hands wide. "But being smart doesn't give you the right to drag this company through your personal garbage. We're not your cleanup crew."A few uncomfortable laughs rippled across the table."My personal garbage," Adrian repeated slowly. His expression didn't change."That's what I said." Paul's smirk widened

Sarah turned her phone toward Adrian. The screen showed a breaking news headline with his name in bold letters and a photograph of the hospital surrounded by police tape."It's already out," she said, her voice tight with controlled anger. "Every major outlet is running the same story."Adrian took the phone. The report claimed the armed assault had been triggered by his presence at the facility. An unnamed eyewitness stated that Adrian Cole had knowingly used his own mother as bait to provoke a confrontation with an unidentified criminal organization."They're saying I brought the attack to her," Adrian said quietly. He scrolled further."There's more." Sarah swiped to another article. "Three separate business commentators have already gone on record calling you reckless. One of them said, and I'm quoting, that Skyward's chief engineer has finally proven that talent without discipline is just an expensive liability."Adrian set the phone down on the table. His face showed nothing, bu
