The helicopter flew through the night sky. Sophia sat next to Hercules and explained everything she knew about The Circle's cloning facility.

The facility was located underground, beneath a hospital in Switzerland. It had been hidden there for twenty years. Inside, The Circle had been experimenting with human cloning and genetic engineering. They had created hundreds of clones. Some of the clones were copies of famous people. Some of the clones were completely new people, designed to be the perfect soldiers or the perfect leaders.

"Your real mother was one of the first successful clones," Sophia explained. "But her name was not Victoria. Her name was Dr. Eleanor Mitchell. She was a genetic scientist. She discovered the technology for creating perfect genetic copies of humans."

"And The Circle killed her?" Hercules asked.

"They killed the original," Sophia said. "But they kept her DNA. They created a clone of her. The clone became a member of The Circle. The clone did not remember bein

  • Chapter 14: The Betrayal Revealed

    Uncle Marcus stepped out of the helicopter with a group of soldiers. They surrounded Hercules, Sophia, Victor, Dominic, and General Thomas."You thought you were so clever," Marcus said. "You thought you could destroy The Circle. But The Circle is bigger than you can possibly imagine. The Circle controls the world.""Why are you doing this?" Hercules asked. "I am your nephew. I am family."Marcus laughed. "Family? You are an embarrassment to the family. You are weak. You are sentimental. You actually believed that destroying that one facility would matter. But there are twenty more facilities just like it around the world."Victor tried to move toward Marcus, but the soldiers raised their weapons."I am going to tell you a secret," Marcus said, walking closer to Hercules. "The Circle did not force me to work for them. I chose to work for them. I chose to because they offered me something you could never understand. They offered me immortality.""Immortality?" Hercules repeated."Yes,"

    The house in the forest had no electricity and no running water. They used candles for light and rainwater for drinking. It was primitive and uncomfortable, but it was hidden.Hercules could not sleep. He kept thinking about the message. His mother was alive? It was impossible. But what if it was true?He showed the message to Dominic and General Thomas. Both of them looked shocked."This could be a trap," General Thomas said. "The Circle could be trying to trick you into making a mistake.""Or it could be the truth," Dominic said quietly. "I have always wondered about some things regarding your mother's death. The hospital records were sealed. The body was cremated immediately. There was no funeral. No memorial service. It was all very strange."Hercules felt anger rising inside him. His mother had told him she loved him. She had told him she had watched him his whole life. She had told him he had to use his power to help people.But what if she had been lying to him the whole time?

They looked like they were trained to kill.Victor immediately activated the security protocols. Metal shutters came down over all the windows. The doors locked automatically. The building became a fortress."We have about thirty minutes before they breach the main entrance," Victor said, looking at the security cameras. "After that, we need to evacuate to the underground bunker."Hercules watched the soldiers on the screens. They were setting up explosive devices around the building's entrance. They were not trying to sneak in. They were going to blow their way through."How did they find us so fast?" Hercules asked."They must have been tracking Isabella," Dominic said. "They must have known she would make contact with you. They were waiting for your response."General Thomas was on the phone, calling other members of The
