# Day 10
"Dr. Chen." Vance's voice carried no inflection. "Working late again."
Maya's fingers twisted the wedding ring—around, around. "Just finishing some analysis."
"At two in the morning.

# Day 9
Maya pressed herself against the wall as the footsteps grew louder. Not security—the gait was too deliberate, too measured.
Director Vance emerged from the stairwell, unsurprised to find her there.

# Day 8
Maya's heart hammered against her ribs. She glanced down the corridor—empty, but the fluorescent lights felt like spotlights.
A voice echoed from the stairwell. She froze.
Footsteps. Coming closer.

# Day 7
Maya's access card wouldn't work.
She stood before the expedition archive door at 2:15 AM, swiping repeatedly. The light blinked red each time. Her stomach tightened.

# Day 6
99.7% certainty. The number burned in Maya's vision long after she'd closed the software window.
She shouldn't access the expedition files. She knew this.

# Day 5
The voice analysis software chimed. Maya leaned closer, her breath fogging the monitor.
It was Elena's voice.
Not a match probability—a certainty. The software showed 99.

# Day 4
Maya's hands trembled as she isolated the signal fragment. She needed more than a timestamp—she needed proof that would survive scrutiny, that would survive her own doubt.
The voice analysis software took four minutes to load.

# Day 3
Maya ran the signal through three separate authentication protocols. Each one returned the same impossible result.
Embedded in the noise was a timestamp—July 14th, 2019. The day Elena disappeared.

# Day 2
The anomaly appeared at 3:47 AM.
Maya's fingers froze above the keyboard. The waterfall display showed it clearly—a signal fragment buried in the noise like a pearl in static. Not random. Structured. Intentional.

# Day 1
Maya hadn't slept in the server room again. The blue glow of monitors cast her hollow reflection across the dark glass—thirty-seven, alone, and still wearing her wedding ring to the signal processing lab where nobody asked questions anymore.

Mack's hand froze inches from the screen. His jaw clenched—not in denial, but recognition. The fracture in his expression deepened into something uglier: resignation.
"She was supposed to stay forgotten," he said quietly.

Mack's hand trembled as he reached for Sarah's phone. She didn't pull away—a calculated move. His fingers hovered over Emma's profile photo, and something fractured in his expression.
"You knew," Zara whispered.

Mack's laugh died as Sarah stepped closer, phone extended. "Emma Chen's university records. Her medical file from the rescue—documented that birthmark. The girl you 'saved' remembers *you*, Zara. Not you as a criminal.

Sarah's expression hardened as she reached for her phone. "Emma Chen. Give me thirty seconds."
The screen illuminated. A social media profile—Emma, alive, university student, recent post from last week. But Mack laughed, unbothered.

Zara's hands steadied. "The girl's name was Emma Chen. She had a birthmark on her left wrist—shaped like a crescent moon. You wouldn't know that, Mack. It wasn't in any report."
She turned to Sarah.

Zara's fingers trembled as the memory crystallized—the girl's face, the rusted chains, her own hands cutting through the bindings. That was real. That was *hers*.

Sarah's voice cut through the chaos. "The warehouse on Tenth—you raided it two years ago. You *saved* a girl trapped in the basement."
Zara's head snapped toward her partner. That memory surfaced—visceral, real.

Mack's fingers danced across a tablet, and the warehouse walls flickered—holographic displays materializing around them. Security footage played on loop: Zara's face at crime scenes, her voice on intercepted calls, signatures on forged documents.

Zara's hand instinctively moved to her temple. Fragmented images flooded her mind—blueprints, security codes, faces of the heist victims. Her own voice plotting every crime. "No," she whispered, but doubt gnawed at her.

Zara's blood froze. "How long?" she demanded. Mack's smile widened. "Long enough. Your memories, Detective—they're already mine. Every heist, every case... you planned them all." Sarah's gun trembled. "That's impossible.

"So, Mack's warped reality and mind control," Zara mused. "We need to catch him off-guard." Sarah nodded, her grip tightening on the wheel as they sped towards an old warehouse. "That's where he hid the first device," Sarah stated.

As dust settled, Zara locked eyes with Sarah. "We can't keep running," she said, resolve hardening her voice. "We need to turn the tables on Mack." Spurred into action, they plotted in hushed whispers, their plan audacious and fraught with danger.
