CHAPTER 123 PART 2
Jason let the silence hold for a moment after James spoke. Then he leaned forward."I need to ask you about someone," Jason said. "Damian Hertha."James's expression changed. Not dramatically. A tightening around the eyes. A shift in the way he held his shoulders. The subtle contraction of a man who had encountered something he didn't understand and hadn't stopped thinking about it since."He came to see me," James said. "About four months ago. Before Alencia's first aptitude test. Before any of this.""How long was the visit?""Ten minutes. Maybe less." James looked down at his hands on the table. "He didn't introduce himself by name. He just sat where you're sitting and started talking like we already knew each other. Like we had met before, even though I'd never seen his face.""What did he want?"James was quiet for a moment. Alencia watched him. Her hands were folded in her lap and her back was straight and she was listening with the focus of someone who had learned in the past w
CHAPTER 123 PART 1
Eugene was leaning against the side of a black SUV when Jason and Alencia walked out of the Bureau building.The sun was low over Colorado. The parking lot was empty except for three government vehicles and the SUV that Eugene had somehow acquired without anyone noticing. His leg was in a cast from the knee down. He was using a single crutch. He was smiling."Congratulations," Eugene said. He wasn't looking at Jason. He was looking at Alencia. "You took my title."Alencia stopped walking. "What?""Fastest person in America. It was mine. Has been for eleven years." He tapped the crutch against the asphalt. "I don't mind. It was getting boring being the benchmark. Having someone to chase makes things interesting again."Jason walked past him and opened the SUV's back door. "We're going to LA first."Eugene raised an eyebrow. "Not New York?""Someone she needs to see."Eugene looked at Alencia. She didn't explain. She didn't need to. The look on her face said everything about where they
CHAPTER 122 PART 2
Enoch Lindbergh did not panic.He had been the director of the Bureau of Paranormal Phenomena for nine years. He had sat across from S rank hunters who could level city blocks. He had negotiated with people whose abilities could reshape geography. A broken door was not enough to rattle a man with his resume.But the way Jason Ward sat down bothered him.Not aggressive. Not confrontational. The way someone sits down at their own kitchen table. Like the room belonged to him. Like the federal building and the security and the cameras and the thirty year institution behind all of it were furniture in someone else's house and he was just visiting."Mr. Ward," Enoch said carefully. "You've just destroyed federal property and incapacitated two of my security officers.""Eugene incapacitated them. I walked through the door he opened." Jason glanced at the camera in the corner. "You're recording this. Good. I want everything I say on record."Enoch's jaw tightened. "This is a national security
CHAPTER 122 PART 1
The world found out in pieces.First came the military footage. Shaky, overexposed, filmed from the back of a retreating helicopter. The Titan standing in the desert. The golden bolt tearing its arm off. The figure on the ridge. The final flash of white light that turned the camera to static.Then came the interviews.Marcus Zelvin stood in front of fourteen cameras with dust still on his uniform and a bandage wrapped around his left arm. He was twenty six years old and he had been frozen on the ground waiting to die when golden lightning saved his life. He told the story the way a man tells a story when he knows the whole world is listening and he doesn't care."Her name is Alencia Walker," he said. His voice was steady. His eyes were not. "I don't know where she came from. I don't know how she did what she did. I know that three hundred hunters were on the ground and none of us could move and she stood on that ridge and tore a god apart with her bare hands."The clip played on every
CHAPTER 121 PART 2
The Titan made its decision in silence. No roar. No dramatic gesture. Just a shift in the golden light behind its chest plate and a subtle change in the frequency of the hum that radiated from its body. The Heart of Prometheus had been burning inside it since Victor fed it the artifact, and now the Titan reached for that fire with every fragment of will it possessed. If it could not win, it would detonate. The Heart of Prometheus contained enough concentrated magical energy to level everything within fifty miles. Las Vegas. Henderson. Boulder City. Every town within the blast radius would become a crater. The Titan began to glow. Alencia felt it before she understood it. A pressure building inside the creature's chest. A gathering of energy that was folding inward instead of pushing outward. The opposite of an attack. A collapse. Jason's voice came back to her. Not a memory this time. A warning he had given her before she left Denver. "If the Titan can't win, it will try to take
CHAPTER 121 PART 1
## CHAPTER 121 — PART 1Vivie held the camera steady from half a mile away.The lens was good enough to capture everything. The desert ridge. The golden light. The girl standing at the top of it with electricity pouring off her body like water from a broken dam.A month ago, Alencia Walker had been an unpopular streamer with a criminal father and an aptitude score of eight. She had lived in a cramped apartment and applied for jobs that didn't call back and sat in a train car wondering if she would ever amount to anything.Now she was standing in front of the most powerful demonic entity that had ever walked on American soil.Vivie adjusted the zoom. Her hands were steady. Three hundred years of war had taught her many things, and one of them was how to hold still while watching someone else walk into the fire.On the ridge, Alencia was calm.Not the calm of courage. Not the calm of adrenaline suppressing fear. A different kind of calm. Blank. Empty. The calm of a mind that had process
