The Three Minutes
Steel pierced flesh. Doctor Yan shrieked as the interrogator pressed the serrated combat knife against his collarbone. Victoria strained against the heavy iron chains binding her wrists to the steel chair. She watched the civilian physician thrash wildly as blood soaked his torn designer shirt. The Capital executioners had dragged them from the overturned vehicle hours ago and chained them inside this soundproof basement beneath the financial district."Stop," Yan choked out through a flood of tears. He spat a mixture of saliva and blood onto the damp concrete floor. "I will tell you whatever you want. Please take the blade away."The interrogator stepped back and looked toward the shadows. Chairman Vane emerged from the dark corner of the room. The Capital proxy wore an immaculate charcoal suit that stood in stark contrast to the grime of the black site. He walked into the harsh overhead light and stared down at the weeping doctor."You chartered a private flight across the ocean dur
Interrogation
Blood dripped into her eyes. Victoria hung suspended by her seatbelt in the overturned cabin of the stolen sedan. The world spun in a dizzying circle of shattered glass and hissing steam.She blinked the warm fluid away and forced her mind to focus. The kinetic impact of the armored truck had crushed the passenger door inward. The smell of gasoline and burning rubber filled the tight space."Doctor," Victoria gasped. She reached her hand through the darkness.Yan groaned from the crushed passenger seat. He hung limp against his restraints. The silver medical case was wedged tightly between his chest and the crumpled dashboard."Take the case," Victoria ordered. She unbuckled her belt and fell hard against the interior roof of the car. "Protect it with your life.""We are trapped," Yan panicked. He clutched the silver case to his chest. "My leg is pinned under the glovebox.""Listen to me," Victoria coughed. Her ribs ached with a sharp familiar pain. "Do not fight them. Chase will find
Stolen Ride
Headlights cut through the freezing rain as a silver sedan pulled up to the curb of the Elmwood Suites. Victoria stepped out from the dark awning and gripped the passenger door handle."Sarah," the driver asked through the open window."Yes," Victoria replied."Hop in back," the young man offered. "The weather is terrible tonight.""I prefer the front seat," Victoria said.She opened the door and slid into the cabin. The heater blasted warm air against her wet clothes. She looked at the driver. He wore a local sports jacket and a tired smile. A digital tablet rested on the dashboard displaying the routing software. He was a normal civilian working a late shift."We are heading to the private terminal on Miller Avenue," the driver confirmed the route. "You flying out of the city.""I am picking up a colleague," Victoria answered."Must be nice flying private," he noted. He put the car into gear. "No security lines to deal with."Victoria calculated the tactical geometry of the impendin
City of Eyes
Rain washed across the windshield of the stolen gray sedan. Victoria navigated the flooded streets of the lower municipal district with both hands resting lightly on the steering wheel. She wore a beige trench coat over her tactical harness to hide her suppressed sidearm and spare magazines. Thick cosmetic foundation covered the sharp angles of her cheekbones. Dark framed glasses obscured her piercing eyes. She looked exactly like an exhausted accountant heading home from a late shift.She checked her rearview mirror and focused on the rhythmic sweep of the windshield wipers. Jolene was dying in a concrete bunker miles away. The medical compound sitting on a private jet was the only variable that mattered tonight.Red and blue lights strobed across the wet asphalt ahead.Three municipal police cruisers blocked the intersection of Miller Avenue and Holden Street. Four officers in heavy rain gear stood near the concrete barricades inspecting passing vehicles. The Capital Syndicate had o
Vanity Trap
Dr. Yan tapped the screen of his mobile phone to verify the recording light was active. He adjusted the lapels of his bespoke Italian suit and offered a wide arrogant smile to the camera lens."To the esteemed board of directors at the European Medical Institute," Yan began his broadcast. His voice dripped with condescending venom. "I am sure you recognize my face. You spent three years trying to ruin my reputation and bury my research."He turned the camera away from his face to showcase the sprawling cabin of the private jet. He made sure the lens captured the mahogany wood accents and the fully stocked crystal bar."You laughed when I shifted my focus toward experimental cellular stabilization," Yan spoke into the phone. "You sat in your cheap office chairs and called my methods reckless. You expelled me from my own clinic and revoked my medical license."Yan paused his monologue. He walked over to the bar and picked up a glass of expensive vintage wine left for him by the flight s
Kingmaker Pact
Chase drew a breath of damp cavern air. The sharp metallic taste of the venom was gone. A dense weight anchored his diaphragm. He felt the precise biological gravity of a Stage Six Condensation core settling into his bones.The physical pain in his ribs evaporated. The gray veins marking his skin vanished without a trace.Lin sat back on her heels. She pulled her faded green tunic over her pale shoulders. She breathed heavily and rested her hands on her lap. The freezing temperature in the small cave slowly normalized."The necrotic agent is dead," Lin whispered. She looked at his clear skin. "The Yin distraction worked. Your foundation incinerated the poison."Chase sat up on the cold stone slab. He reached for his ruined canvas shirt and pulled it over his torso."It did more than incinerate the poison," Chase replied. He looked at his calloused hands and flexed his fingers. "The clash of our energies triggered a violent reaction. My core devoured the excess spiritual pressure. I by
