Chapter 71
The scream echoed through the underground station.
Sharp.
Terrified.
Painfully human.
Every conversation stopped instantly.
Every weapon lowered.
Every eye widened.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Because nobody needed to ask whose voice it was.
Deep down, they all knew.
Evelyn's heart slammed against her ribs.
Her entire body went rigid.
"No."
The word escaped before she could stop it.
Then she ran.
Not thinking.
Not planning.
Just moving.
Damian reacted immediately.
"Evelyn!"
But she was already sprinting toward the tunnel entrance.
Toward the darkness.
Toward the scream.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Because after sixteen years of loss, logic no longer stood a chance against hope.
Victor cursed and followed.
Lucas moved next.
Sophia.
Jonathan.
