Chance drove in silence as he made his way to the place where Gary had sugggested that they meet up. It wasn't as though he was comfortable with the fact that Gary had requested for this meeting, and that he was honouring it. But what choice had he got? If Gary could be desperate enough to ask for a meeting, then he must definitely have something worthwhile to talk about.

Aariving at the loaction, Chance was surprised to see that the place was a quiet, tucked-away lounge on the outskirts of town—neutral ground, calm lighting, soft music, and a layout that allowed privacy without hiding. It was exactly the kind of place Gary would pick if he wanted a conversation without interruptions or drama… or witnesses.

Chloe sat beside Chance, her hands folded in her lap, eyes flicking between him and the passing streetlights. She could feel the tension radiating off him in waves.

“You’re thinking too loud,” she murmured.

She had been watching Chance since they stepped into the car, and even if C

    Courtney felt Gary’s grip tighten around her hand—so tight it hurt—but she didn’t pull away. She had played an integral role in making Gary see reasons why he had to switch sides, and she wasn't going to leave him alone.Courtney’s voice trembled as she tried, one last time, to reason with the woman in front of them. She had always peceived that Brenda was not the kind of woman whom she could say was mentally stable owing to the few times their paths had crossed.A couple of times she had almost been tempted to ask Gary if his aunt had ever been to a mental institution before, but so as not to offend Gary, she had refrained from asking such a question. But now, seeing her point a gun at Gary, and wasn't looking like someone who had come to play, was just enough to convince Courtney that Brenda had been mentally unstable at one point in her life before.“B–Brenda… please,” she said, her breath shaking. “Gary didn't do anything wrong. He just—”But the moment she opened her mouth, Brend

    Gary’s heart dropped while Courtney’s fingers slipped from his neck as both of them turned fully toward the voice which was eerily familiar, and at the same carrying a hint of danger with it.And there, standing under the yellow glow of the streetlamp was Brenda.Her arms were crossed lightly, a mocking smile painted across her lips, but her eyes—those were cold enough to freeze the night itself.She had stationed some of her men to watch Gary's every move and they had reported to her that they had seen Gary meeting with Chance. She didn't doubt it because she had seen signs of Gary already turning his back on the shared goal that they had been working on.She had really thought that Gary would be the perfect candidate to help awaken Obsidian as he was the one carrying Susan's blood. But as it happened in the case of Susan, who later paid with her own life, she could already see Gary dancing to the same rhythm.“Aunt… what are you doing here?” Gary asked, voice tight.Of all the peopl

    Chance exhaled shakily, the memory of Gary’s voice echoing in his mind like a warning he wished he could ignore.He has two already… And he knew what that meant because the moment all three were brought together… the dark side of the bloodline would awaken. Power that should never be unleashed.And now one of the men who wanted that power the most already had a head start.He ran a hand through his hair and finally reached for the ignition. The low rumble of the engine filled the silence, grounding him.But just before he shifted into gear, he paused as his reflection stared back at him in the rearview mirror—a face that looked too young to carry a burden this old, too scarred to belong to a normal teenage life.A faint whisper escaped him, almost like a vow rising from somewhere deeper than thought.“I’ll do everything to protect the O’ Connor legacy.”***(Moments earlier at the cafe)Courtney watched the doors close behind Chance and Chloe, her gaze returning slowly to Gary, who sa

    “No… no, no, no,” Flynn muttered, dragging his fingers across the controls to stabilize the image. “Where did you come from? You weren’t in the raw footage…”He enhanced again—thermal ghosting, frame interpolation, motion prediction.The outline sharpened just enough to reveal one more horrifying detail.She moved first. Before the shot. Before Julia even lifted her hand.Flynn exhaled shakily, his mind racing with so many questions and possibilities all at once.He was a lover of phyiscs and technology no doubt. But this? This was mindblowing in a way that he had never imagined it would be. This was the first time he was trying out something like this ever since he picked up interest in crime technology, and it was already making him feel like he was on top of the world.“This is it,” he whispered. “This changes everything.”But he needed one more thing—something concrete. A face. Even a hint of one. Something to match or isolate.He rewound. Slowed the playback to one-tenth speed. L

    Every word dropped between them like stones sinking into dark water, and for a brief moment, Chance didn’t blink. Not because Gary's story sounded touching, but because he didn't know if he should really buy it now.“So I should believe you now?” His voice was dangerously quiet. “After everything you said? Everything you did?”Gary didn’t look away. “No. I don’t expect you to trust me tonight. Not even tomorrow. I broke that trust myself.”He took a shaky breath. “But Helsin and Wilfreda… they’re in danger. And Richard isn’t playing games. He wants that relic, Chance. And he’ll take down anyone standing between him and it.”Chance’s expression didn’t shift, but his eyes… they flickered as he remembered all the warnings he had receievd prior to this time why the three O' Connor relics must never fall into the wrong hands.“He has two already,” Gary pressed. “You know what that means.”Chance, for a moment really wanted to Gary was saying all these because he had really changed and was

    The conversation between Chance and Gary continued while Chloe and Courtney were seated at the other seat having their own conversation. Gary’s fingers twitched on the edge of the table, his eyes darting once toward Courtney—as though grounding himself—before he finally spoke again.“Chance… what I’m about to tell you… I should have said it a long time ago.”Chance didn’t respond sinec all he wanted to know was what happened to Helsin and Wilfreda. If Gary knew something about what had happened to them just as he was claiming, then he should begin to spill it out now."You said you knew what happened to Helsin. And Wilfreda. So, let it out!” Chance found himself saying, almost raising his voice even if he hadn't intended for that to happen."Calm down Chance. You don't have to raise your voice. We're not the only ones here," Gary replied, his gaze meeting with Courtney's who together with Chloe had turned towards their direcetion after they noticed that Chance had rasied his voice sli
