The red numbers flashed from inside the metal case.
And time stopped.
For half a second—
Nobody moved.
Nobody breathed.
Then instinct took over.
“MOVE!”
My voice ripped through the corridor.
Chaos exploded.
Lena froze.
The guard stumbled backward.
Zara screamed.
And Rowan—
Rowan stood perfectly still.
Watching.
Always watching.
The timer blinked.
00:09
I grabbed Lena’s arm and shoved her toward the wall.
“DOWN!”
The corridor shook violently.
Dust exploded from the ceiling.
Ethan tackled Zara beside the broken support beam.
Mason nearly collapsed.
The guard looked panicked.
“No—no—”
The timer flashed again.
00:08
My pulse slowed dangerously.
Too clean.
Too visible.
Something felt wrong.
Rowan still hadn’t moved.
And that—
That bothered me.
