Chapter 466:
General Carl Gerald stood frozen for a moment, the phone still pressed against his ear even though the call had ended. The weight of Phineas's cryptic message hung heavy in the air between him and his team."What did he say?" Debra Zachs asked, stepping closer, her expression sharp with concern."He found something," General Carl Gerald said slowly, lowering the phone. "Something he can't discuss over a secure line. Something that requires his quantum setup…whatever that means.""That doesn't sound good," Captain Luke observed, his hand instinctively moving to rest on his sidearm. "If Phineas can't even risk discussing it over encrypted communications...""Then whatever he found is serious," Sara finished, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten as professional alertness kicked in. "Really serious."General Carl Gerald turned to face his team fully, his mind already racing through possibilities. "Alright, let's think this through before we head to Phineas's apartment. What could he ha
Chapter 465:
General Carl Gerald, slowly typed rapidly, then hit send. Within seconds, his phone buzzed with a response."Phineas confirms he received it," General Carl Gerald said. "He's starting analysis immediately. He says he'll have preliminary findings within a few hours.""What do you think about this threatening email?" Sara asked. "Do you think it's credible?""I think we have to treat it as credible until we know otherwise," General Carl Gerald said grimly. "Someone got Victor's personal email address. Someone knew about the funeral plans. Someone cared enough to send a threatening message. That's not nothing.""Could it be Maya Denver?" Debra suggested."It's possible," General Carl Gerald admitted. "It fits her pattern of psychological warfare. But it could also be someone else entirely. Someone trying to piggyback on the chaos she's already created.""Either way, it's another threat to manage," Sara said, her expression troubled."Which is why the security tomorrow will be airtight,"
Chapter 463:
"We have triple the security personnel. We have surveillance systems that we didn't have at the cemetery.”“We have every possible contingency planned for.""And most importantly," Debra Zachs said, "we have the element of awareness. At the cemetery, we were caught off guard. We weren't expecting an attack of that magnitude.”“Tomorrow, we're expecting trouble. We're ready for it. That makes all the difference.""I hope you're right," Mrs. Anna Marcus said, though she still sounded uncertain. "I just... I can't lose anyone else. I can't bury anyone else. I can't..."Her voice broke completely, and they could hear her sobbing again. Victor's voice came through, gentle and soothing."Mom, it's okay. We're going to be okay. General Carl Gerald and his team know what they're doing. We have to trust them.""I'm trying," Mrs. Anna Marcus managed through her tears. "I'm really trying.""That's all anyone can ask," General Carl Gerald said softly. "Mrs. Marcus, I know words are inadequate rig
Chapter 463:
“What if he's somehow connected to the people who attacked the cemetery?”“What if he's not really here to grieve but for some other reason?""Mom, that's a bit of a stretch," Victor said, though he didn't sound entirely convinced."Is it?" Mrs. Anna Marcus challenged. "He disappears for twenty-five years, and suddenly, right when our daughter dies under suspicious circumstances, he reappears? That doesn't strike you as odd timing?""It does seem coincidental," General Carl Gerald admitted. "And given current circumstances, I don't believe in coincidences.”“Mrs. Marcus, here's what I'll do. We'll allow Mr. Phil Marcus to attend the funeral, but he'll be under discreet surveillance the entire time.”“If he does anything suspicious, if he contacts anyone questionable, if he gives us any reason to believe he's a threat, we'll intervene immediately.""Thank you," Mrs. Anna Marcus said, relief evident in her voice. "I know I might be overreacting, but…""You're not overreacting," General
Chapter 462:
General Carl Gerald's free hand clenched into a fist, his knuckles going white. Sara and Debra both stiffened, their expressions shifting to alarm."Did you save the email?" General Carl Gerald asked, forcing his voice to remain calm despite the rage building in his chest."Yes," Victor said. "I took screenshots too, in case it somehow got deleted. General, I'm scared. Who would send something like that? And how did they get my personal email?""I don't know yet," General Carl Gerald said grimly. "But I'm going to find out. Victor, I need you to forward that email to me immediately. Can you do that?""Yes, of course," Victor said. "What's your email address?"General Carl Gerald rattled off his secure military email address, and he could hear Victor typing on the other end."Sent," Victor said after a moment. "General, do you think... Do you think this is from the same people who attacked the cemetery and carried the dead bodies of Lord Denver and Jason?""It's possible," General Ca
Chapter 461:
"We can help with that," Debra Zachs offered, also moving closer to the phone. "This is Debra Zachs. I'm coordinating the funeral arrangements with the military honors division.”“If there are things you'd like us to handle, just say the word. You and your mother shouldn't have to deal with logistics right now.""That's... that's very kind," Victor said, sounding genuinely grateful. "We've been getting so many calls. Reporters wanting comments, people from Juliet's past reaching out, extended family asking about arrangements... it's been constant.""We can put a stop to the media attention," General Carl Gerald said firmly. "I'll have our public affairs office issue a statement requesting privacy for your family. No more reporters calling. No more camera crews showing up.""Please," Mrs. Anna Marcus's voice came through, stronger now though still thick with tears. "Please do that. I can't... I can't talk to strangers about my daughter right now. I can barely talk to anyone about h
