ARE WE GOING TO BE OKAY?
Pierce's facility was a converted military hospital sitting on forty acres of isolated land an hour outside the city. The kind of place that didn't appear on public maps. Three perimeter fences. Guard towers. Motion sensors that covered every inch of ground between the outer wall and the main building.Whatever Pierce was, he'd spent significant resources making himself hard to reach.Sophia had gone straight from the vehicle into emergency surgery. Pierce's doctors—four of them, all clearly brilliant and clearly paid enough to stay quiet about what they worked on—had been waiting. The OR was equipped beyond what most civilian hospitals possessed. They worked on her with the urgency of people who understood exactly what they were trying to prevent.Dante stood at the observation window looking down into the surgical theater. His hands were flat against the glass. He'd been in a hundred impossible situations. Fought armies with less preparation. Survived things that should have buried
DON'T TRUST!
Sophia couldn't stop staring at her hands.Victoria's neck had snapped under her grip like dry timber. She'd felt the bones give way, felt the life leave that monstrous body, felt something ancient and terrible and precise moving through her muscles with borrowed expertise. The strength was already fading, draining away like water through cupped palms, but the memory of it remained. The impossible, terrifying memory.Dante stepped toward her carefully, the same way you approach someone standing too close to a ledge. "Sophia... how did you...""I don't know!" The words came out half-sob, half-shock. "I just... saw Emma in danger and something TOOK OVER. Like my body belonged to someone else."Pierce was practically vibrating with excitement. Blood-soaked, surrounded by corpses in a collapsing underground laboratory, and his eyes were lit with the pure joy of a man who'd just found treasure. "Magnificent! The dormant genes finally activated! Trauma trigger! Leonard you brilliant, beauti
YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST!
Marcus's body lay torn apart across the stone floor, ripped open by Victoria's enhanced strength in a display of casual brutality. Scarlett was screaming, a sound that went beyond words into pure animal trauma. She'd just watched her mother murder the man she loved with her bare hands.Victoria stood covered in Marcus's blood, smiling with satisfaction. "That's what love gets you. WEAKNESS. I tried to teach you that your entire life, but you never learned."Dante used the distraction. While Victoria was focused on her daughter's breakdown, he moved. Fast. Grabbed the knife from Reaper's belt and closed the distance before Victoria could react.He drove the blade into the neural interface port at the base of her skull.Victoria's scream was inhuman. Her hands flew to the wound, trying to protect the critical access point.Marie was already moving, her scientific mind overriding fear. She grabbed the knife's handle and yanked, not out but sideways, prying open the interface port. Her fi
LYING AMONG THE DEAD
Leonard's body was cooling on the stone floor, blood pooling beneath his head. His final words about the "fifteenth fragment" echoed in the chamber, a dying man's secret that changed everything.Victoria stood over the corpse with complete indifference. "He never could finish a sentence. Weakness. Every version of him had that same flaw. Sentiment over survival."She moved without warning. One moment standing still, the next launching herself at Dante with superhuman speed. Enhanced Victoria was everything the Architects' technology could create. Superhuman strength. Impossible speed. Combat training downloaded directly into her neural pathways.Dante barely got his arms up in time to block the first strike. The impact felt like getting hit by a car. He was thrown backward, crashing into rusted laboratory equipment that crumpled under the force.She was on him before he could recover. Blows raining down with mechanical precision. Each one calculated to cause maximum damage. Dante foug
DIE HERE OR WALK AWAY
The first pod finished its opening sequence with a mechanical sigh. Marcus Reid stepped out on unsteady legs, gripping the pod's edge for support. His eyes were unfocused, trying to process a reality that made no sense. The last memory he possessed was dying—Dante exposing him, everything falling apart, then darkness.The second pod released Victoria. But something was wrong. This Victoria was different from the brain-dead matriarch they'd left behind in the facility. Improved. Her movements were too fluid, too perfect. Enhanced musculature visible beneath her skin. Eyes that tracked movement with predatory precision. Engineered.The third pod opened to reveal Leonard Hayes in his prime. Younger than the man who'd died three years ago. Perfect health. No signs of the cancer that had supposedly killed him. His body showed the kind of physical conditioning that came from military training, not corporate boardrooms.All three were confused. Disoriented. Dangerous in their uncertainty.Ma
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
The tunnel was pitch black, swallowing them in darkness so complete it felt physical. Phone lights flickered on one by one, creating small islands of illumination that only emphasized how vast and empty the darkness around them was. Battery indicators showed red. They had minutes, maybe an hour if they were lucky.Morrison's tactical team was conducting triage in the cramped space. Three officers were dead—left behind in the facility collapse, crushed under tons of concrete. Five more were injured badly enough to need immediate medical attention they couldn't provide down here.Dante's group was in worse shape. Isabella lay unconscious across his lap, her breathing so shallow it was barely visible. The adrenaline shot had restarted her heart but done nothing for the internal injuries. Reaper was still bleeding heavily from multiple gunshot wounds, his tactical vest soaked through. Sophia was exhausted from performing CPR, her hands shaking with muscle fatigue.Adrian held his mother's
