Chapter 46
The tunnel fell silent.
Not a single person moved.
Not a single breath seemed audible.
The Director stood calmly near the blocked exit, his hands tucked into the pockets of his dark coat.
As if he wasn't standing in the middle of a war.
As if he wasn't responsible for years of fear, death, and secrets.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Because true power never seemed rushed.
It simply waited.
And right now, everyone was waiting for Catherine.
The older woman's face had gone completely white.
Terror filled her eyes.
Real terror.
The kind Evelyn had never seen before.
The Director's voice remained calm.
"Tell them."
Catherine shook her head.
"No."
The word came out broken.
Weak.
The Director sighed.
Almost sadly.
"Catherine."
His tone carried disappointment.
