Emilia paced back and forth on the hospital sidewalk like a caged predator, her designer heels clicking frantically against the concrete as her mind raced through their limited options.

"Wait," she said suddenly, stopping mid-stride. "Before we can execute any plan against Keith, we need to gain access to the hospital so we can transfer Laurent to another facility."

Denver's face, which had been brightening with vindictive anticipation, immediately fell. "Transfer him? But Emilia, most of my businesses have crumbled over the past few days."

His voice cracked with embarrassment as he continued. "All the hospitals in this area are incredibly expensive. Even St. Augustine Memorial was already stretching our budget to the breaking point."

This is a disaster, Denver thought with mounting panic. I can barely afford to keep Laurent here, let alone move him somewhere more expensive.

Melaine looked at Denver with growing alarm. "What do you mean stretching your budget? I thought the Walsh fami

    She continued her work, heating various components over a specialized burner while maintaining precise temperature controls. "The ancient texts describe this particular restoration method as the most powerful available to your kind.""My kind?" Keith raised an eyebrow. "Sometimes you talk about my abilities as if I'm not entirely human.""Are you?" Linda asked matter-of-factly, not looking up from her mixture. "I've been studying your blood samples for years, Keith. Your cellular structure is unlike anything in medical literature."Keith considered her words as she worked, the familiar sounds of bubbling liquids and grinding herbs creating a strangely comforting atmosphere despite the night's chaos."There," Linda announced after thirty minutes of careful preparation. "The potion is ready."She poured the glowing, amber-colored liquid into a crystal glass, the substance seeming to pulse with its own internal light. Steam rose from the surface, carrying an aroma that was both medicinal

    Keith guided Linda through the mansion's front entrance, his protective hand resting on her shoulder as they crossed the threshold into safety.The familiar surroundings seemed to ease some of the tension from her shoulders, but her eyes still held traces of the terror she'd experienced."Are you sure you're alright?" Keith asked for the third time since rescuing her."We should have you checked by a doctor, just to be certain.""I'm fine, Keith, really," Linda insisted, though her voice still trembled slightly."Those men didn't hurt me physically. They were more interested in delivering me intact to Sean."Keith's jaw clenched at the mention of her ex-fiancé's name."We'll deal with Sean Li later. Right now, I need you to focus on taking care of yourself."But Linda was already shaking her head, her scientific mind shifting into high gear despite her recent ordeal."No, Keith. We can't waste any more time. Your power level is still critically low after what Marcus Chen did to you."

    The men burst into harsh laughter at his reasonable tone."Your only warning?" the driver sneered. "Look around, genius! You're outnumbered four to one, and we've got guns!""Yeah," the second kidnapper added with vicious amusement. "What are you going to do, tough guy? Karate chop us to death?"Keith's response was swift and devastating. He moved with lightning speed, closing the distance to the nearest kidnapper before the man could even raise his weapon. A single, perfectly placed punch to the solar plexus dropped the thug instantly, his eyes rolling back as he collapsed unconscious."What the hell?" the scarred man gasped, raising his pistol with shaking hands.But Keith was already moving, his combat training taking over completely. He disarmed the second gunman with a brutal wrist lock that sent the weapon clattering across the pavement, followed by an elbow strike that crumpled the man like a house of cards."This is impossible!" the driver screamed, backing away in terror. "He

    The van driver's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel, his eyes darting between the road ahead and the persistent headlights in his rearview mirror."This guy just won't quit!" the driver snarled, swerving violently between slower-moving vehicles. "What kind of maniac drives like this?""Lose him!" the scarred kidnapper barked from the back seat. "Take the next exit and floor it!"Keith's car maintained its relentless pursuit, matching every desperate maneuver the van made. His military training had prepared him for high-speed chases far more dangerous than this amateur hour display."He's still on us!" the second kidnapper reported, panic creeping into his voice. "This guy's a professional driver or something!"Linda watched through the rear window as Keith's headlights grew closer, her heart swelling with hope and terror in equal measure."I told you," she said defiantly. "Keith isn't someone you can just shake off. He'll follow you to the ends of the earth if he h

    Meanwhile, Keith burst through his front door and sprinted toward his car with desperate urgency. His enhanced reflexes allowed him to start the engine and peel out of his driveway in record time.The van's taillights were barely visible in the distance, but Keith's supernatural abilities gave him advantages no ordinary pursuer would possess. His car roared to life as he pressed the accelerator to the floor.Inside the van, the driver caught sight of headlights gaining rapidly in his rearview mirror."We got company," he announced grimly. "Someone's following us, and they're coming fast."The scarred kidnapper turned to look through the rear window, cursing under his breath. "Who the hell is that? Did anyone see us take the girl?"Linda's heart leaped with hope as she craned her neck to peer backward. Even in the darkness, she could make out the distinctive silhouette of Keith's car closing the distance between them."Keith!" she whispered, tears of relief streaming down her cheeks. "

    Keith's footsteps echoed through the empty mansion as he made his way toward the kitchen, his concern for Linda's whereabouts growing with each passing moment. The silence felt oppressive, completely unlike the usual bustling activity that filled his home."Linda must have stepped out," Keith muttered to himself, though unease gnawed at his gut. "She always leaves a note when she goes anywhere."As he passed the large bay window overlooking the front grounds, a flash of movement caught his peripheral vision. Keith stopped and peered through the glass, his enhanced senses immediately detecting something amiss in the shadows across the street.A dark van sat parked under the cover of overhanging trees, its engine idling quietly. The vehicle's tinted windows made it impossible to see inside, but Keith's instincts screamed danger.Suddenly, the van's side door slid open with a metallic screech, and Keith's blood ran cold. Two burly men in black clothing were roughly shoving someone into t
