Chapter 17: Aftermath
Prisca's eyes fluttered open, her head pounding. She was lying on a couch, surrounded by familiar faces.
Dynamite was sitting beside her, holding her hand. Alex was pacing back and forth, looking worried. And Luna... Luna was sitting in a chair, her eyes fixed on the floor.
"Hey, are you okay?" Dynamite asked, squeezing her hand.
Prisca nodded, trying to sit up. "What happened?"
Alex stopped pacing. "Victor's plan was foiled, thanks to Luna. But... there's something you should know."
Prisca's heart sank. "What is it?"
Luna looked up, her eyes red-rimmed. "I... I was under Victor's control for a long time. I don't know what I did while I was... gone."
Prisca's eyes widened in shock. "Oh, Luna..."
Dynamite put a hand on Luna's shoulder. "We'll figure it out, together."
But Prisca knew it wouldn't be easy. The damage was done, and the consequences were only just beginning.
Just then, the door burst open and a stranger walked in. "My name is Agent Thompson. I'm with the FBI."
Prisca's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?"
Thompson smiled grimly. "We've been investigating Victor LaGraine for months. And now... we need your help to take him down for good."
Prisca exchanged a glance with Dynamite and Alex. They knew what they had to do.
"Let's do it," Prisca said, standing up.
The battle against Victor was far from over. But this time... they were ready.
