Chapter 37 Silent Fears

- I took a deep breath, finally pushing Darius from my mind as I closed the last file with a satisfying snap. My desk was cluttered with papers and research notes, all narrowed down to one goal: finding the best scientist to help us develop the weapons we needed to take on Alpha Jericho and any future threats that dared challenge us. Lilian’s file had been a godsend; she’d gathered names and contacts I would have struggled to find on my own. I made a mental note to thank her next time I saw her.

The last thing we needed was for Jericho to catch wind of our plans and get a head start. I stretched, feeling the fatigue settle in my bones as I leaned back and rolled my shoulders, wincing at the stiffness.
