CHAPTER 14 – When Frequencies Collide
The air at Dock 47 froze. Justin stood at the center of the ruined alley, his outline flickering like a damaged broadcast. His eyes, one glowing amber, one burning white, shifted between consciousness and something deeper, darker.Behind him, towering like a shadow cut from pure sound, the Black Frequency unfolded into clarity.April’s voice broke. “Justin…?”He didn’t answer. His chest rose and fell in rapid, uneven pulses. The ground trembled beneath his feet.Lydia grabbed April’s arm. “April, don’t move. Don’t even breathe too loud.”April ignored her. She stepped forward. “Justin… I know you can hear me.”Justin flinched, as if her voice struck him. His eyes darted wildly, the human part of him fighting through static.“I... ap... ril…run…” he managed, voice shredded, distorted.April reached toward him. “I’m not leaving you.”Before Justin could respond, the eleven Helix Units all pivoted toward the Black Frequency, like soldiers recognizing their commander. Their voices harmoni
CHAPTER 11 – The Black Frequency
The storm had quieted, but the air around Dock 47 felt colder, like the world held its breath after something unimaginable passed through.April stood in the wrecked monitoring station, staring at the faint glowing mark on her arm. It pulsed lightly, like a heartbeat that wasn’t hers.Lydia checked the broken door. “Whatever Justin turned into… it didn’t want us dead. That’s something, right?” April didn’t answer.“April?” Lydia repeated.April exhaled shakily. “He was running.”“From us?”April shook her head. “From something stronger.”Lydia froze. “Define ‘stronger.’ The guy literally walked through a wall.”April looked up, eyes distant. “Something his… entity was afraid of.”Before Lydia could respond, a low hum vibrated through the air, subtle at first, barely audible. But it grew… deep, resonant, unnatural.Like a frequency that didn’t belong on Earth.Lydia raised her gun automatically. “What is that?”April swallowed. “It’s… not Justin. It’s bigger.”The hum intensified. Scre
CHAPTER 10 – The Mirror War (Part 2)
The replica’s eyes flicked open, dim, amber, not fully alive. It spoke in a hollow echo. “Primary host identified. Synchronization pending.”April grabbed Justin’s arm. “We have to go. Now.”He didn’t move. “Wait. I can feel them. Every heartbeat, every thought… They’re inside my nervous system.”“Then cut the link!” Lydia snapped.“I can’t. If I sever it, the feedback will kill me.”April shook him. “Then we find another way!”He met her gaze, pain and static buzzing behind his voice. “There’s no other way. I made them mine, but they made me theirs.”The ground trembled. Overhead pipes burst, spraying cold river water. Lydia pulled April toward the exit ladder. “Move before this place floods!”Justin followed slowly, but halfway up he froze. The gold glow in his eyes brightened again.April turned back. “Justin?”His voice changed, flat, layered with another tone. “Integration complete.”Lydia shouted, “That’s not him!”Justin’s hand shot out, gripping the ladder until the metal scre
CHAPTER 10 – The Mirror War (Part 1)
The first replica moved like lightning. Justin barely had time to duck before its fist smashed into a steel beam, warping the metal. Sparks rained down.“April, get behind me!” he shouted.Lydia fired twice, two clean headshots, but the bullets flattened against the replica’s skull like it was rubber.April yelled, “They’re reinforced!”“No,” Justin said, breathing hard. “They’re learning.”The replica mirrored his stance, its eyes flashing the same faint gold. It spoke in his exact tone. “Unit 001 resistance logged. Adapting.”Another figure stepped from the mist, identical down to the scar under his jaw. Lydia cursed. “Two of you. Great.”Justin dodged a punch, countered, and watched the second replica mimic the same move half a second later, perfectly. April called out, “They copy your muscle memory!”“They copy everything.” He twisted, slammed his elbow into the first replica’s chest, and felt a shockwave explode up his arm. Pain. Feedback. The replica grinned, his grin.“Shared
CHAPTER 9 – Ghost Code
Rain lashed against the shattered glass as they burst out of the hospital’s side entrance. The sirens were closer now, sharp, metallic howls bouncing off skyscrapers. Lydia slammed the SUV door and yelled, “Drive!”April barely got in before Justin floored the gas. Tires shrieked, water fanning behind them like wings.“Helix has us locked,” Lydia muttered, reloading her weapon. “We tripped every sensor from here to Midtown.”Justin’s eyes flickered gold in the rearview mirror. “They didn’t need sensors. They can see through me.”April looked at him sharply. “What do you mean?”He gripped the wheel tighter. “The Origin Signal, whatever it is, it’s running inside my neural system. It’s using me like a satellite.”“You’re saying they can track your mind?” Lydia asked.“Not just track,” Justin said quietly. “They can talk through it.”April leaned forward. “Justin, if you can hear them, maybe you can find their next base before they find us.”He didn’t answer. His breathing slowed, eyes g
CHAPTER 8 – The Origin Signal
The rain hadn’t stopped for two days. New York looked like it was bleeding neon, red, blue, gold, into the slick streets.Lydia’s SUV screeched to a stop beside the abandoned hospital wing. “This is it,” she said. “The coordinates lead straight under Saint Harlow Memorial.”Justin’s fingers twitched against the glass. “A hospital hiding Helix servers. Poetic.”April glanced back from the passenger seat. “You think they used patients as cover?”Justin nodded slowly. “No one questions miracles inside hospitals.”The three of them stepped into the storm, hoods up. Lightning flared against the metal entrance gate, half-rusted shut. Lydia drew a crowbar from her jacket. “Move.”With a grunt, she wrenched it open. The screech echoed down the empty corridors. Inside, the air was heavy with disinfectant and rot. Broken monitors blinked faintly, machines that hadn’t worked in years.April shivered. “Feels like the dead are still waiting for treatment.”“They are,” Justin murmured.She turned t
