CHAPTER 13
Cold water splashed against Nathan's boots as the group pressed deeper into the underground drainage tunnels. The air smelled of rust, damp concrete, and engine oil. Every echo of their footsteps reminded Nathan that they were walking through a place built for secrets.He stopped at a junction where three tunnels split in different directions."Which way?" Victoria asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Nathan unfolded the worn letter from Eleanor Price once more. On the back, something caught his attention for the first time.There was a hand-drawn symbol.A lighthouse.He looked around the tunnel walls."There."Faded by time, the same lighthouse symbol had been spray-painted on the left tunnel."My mother was here," Nathan murmured.Emma frowned."Or someone wanted you to think she was."Nathan didn't answer.In his world, trust had become more dangerous than bullets.Several hundred meters behind them...The Shadow Pack entered the tunnels.Their commander crouched beside fresh
CHAPTER 12
The warehouse doors crashed inward with a deafening boom.Splinters of wood and twisted metal flew across the room as masked gunmen stormed inside."Move!" Nathan shouted.Bullets tore through the abandoned textile mill, shattering dusty windows and ripping through rusted machinery.Nathan returned fire, dropping the first attacker before diving behind a massive weaving machine.Emma and Sarah split in opposite directions, using the maze of old equipment to confuse the intruders.Victoria clutched the flash drive tightly, her heart pounding."We can't stay here!" she cried.Nathan fired another shot."I know!"A grenade rolled across the concrete floor.His eyes widened."Down!"The explosion ripped through the warehouse.Flames erupted instantly as old wooden pallets and oil-soaked materials caught fire.Heat spread through the building with terrifying speed.Smoke filled the air.The warehouse had become a death trap.Outside...The leader of the Shadow Pack watched the fire spread.
CHAPTER 11
Rain hammered the rooftop as Nathan stared into the darkness beyond the city skyline.David had lost their car.That much was certain.But Nathan couldn't shake the feeling that his father was still watching."We can't stay here," Emma said, scanning the neighboring rooftops. "His men will search every building within minutes."Nathan nodded."We need to disappear."Sarah pointed toward a rusted fire escape."It leads into the old warehouse district. Hardly anyone goes there anymore."Without another word, the four of them descended into the maze of abandoned factories and empty loading docks.An hour later...They found shelter inside an abandoned textile mill.Broken windows allowed the wind to whistle through the building, and decades of dust covered the machinery.Victoria leaned against a concrete column, exhausted."I never imagined I'd end up hiding in a place like this."Nathan managed a faint smile."Neither did I."For a brief moment, their eyes met.The bitterness that had
CHAPTER 10
The explosion shook the underground parking garage like an earthquake.Chunks of concrete crashed onto the floor as car alarms blared in every direction. Thick gray dust filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.Nathan instinctively pulled Victoria behind a concrete pillar."Stay down!"Another explosion erupted above them.The ceiling groaned.Emma peered toward the garage entrance, her face pale."They're collapsing the exits."Sarah drew her pistol."No. They're forcing us into one."Nathan's jaw tightened.His father wasn't trying to arrest him.David Porter was hunting him.Heavy footsteps echoed through the garage.Then came the unmistakable sound of automatic rifles being loaded.Nathan peeked around the pillar.Six armed men dressed in black tactical gear entered through the main ramp.Another four emerged from the stairwell."We're surrounded," Victoria whispered.Nathan counted quickly.Ten enemies.Only three pistols.Very little ammunition.The odds were terrible.On
CHAPTER 9
Nathan gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.The sedan sped through the rain-slick streets of Redwell City, weaving between late-night traffic as neon lights reflected across the windshield. Every passing second put more distance between them and the abandoned apartment, yet none of them felt safer.David Porter had found the hideout.That meant nowhere in the city could be trusted.The silence inside the car was suffocating.Victoria sat in the back seat with Sarah and Emma Mitchell. The identical twins occupied opposite corners, stealing wary glances at one another. Years of manipulation could not disappear in a single conversation.Nathan glanced at the rearview mirror."We need to leave Redwell before sunrise.""No," Emma replied quietly. "That's exactly what David expects."Nathan frowned."What do you mean?""He taught all of us the same thing," Emma said. "When prey runs, it always chooses the fastest exit. Highways. Airports. Bus terminals. Those are
CHAPTER 8
Two girls that looked the same stood on each side of the small place. Same face. Same body. Same mark from her eye to her face.Nathan’s gun went back and forth. He could not know which Sarah was the true one.“Nathan, move away from Victoria,” the Sarah in the door said. “That girl has lied to you all the time.”“Hear me and you die,” the Sarah from the window said back. “She is the one who works for David Porter. I try to help you live.”Victoria put her back on the wall. She held the small thing with files. “Nathan, I do not know who these two are.”“Be quiet!” both Sarah’s said at the same time.Nathan kept his gun set. His mind went through all times with Sarah. All talk. All warn. He looked for a thing that would say which was true.“If you are the real Sarah,” Nathan said to the one in the door, “say what you told me in the basement the night we got out.”The door Sarah did not wait. “I said your dad told me the thing is in the time piece. The one you sold three years back.”“S
