Lambert replied seriously, “Having to look at Mr. Raiden’s gloomy mug every day, that’s the real grind to
me.” Her gaze lingered on Lambert’s features, and suddenly, she was struck by a memory of Manley.
No, Manley was leagues more endearing than him! In the afternoon, Estelle messaged Josiah and
Amiee, instructing them to lay low in Citadel. She had located the target and was planning the
assassination. Once everything was in place, she would get them into Zion. Goshawk pinged her,
“Boss, Jonah stormed off. Is he mad? Hope he didn’t give you any trouble.” Blue Hawk chimed in with a

me out like that?” Blue Hawk shot back, “Just don’t want you to pull the wool over our boss’s eyes!”
Their chat went silent for a few moments before Goshawk messaged again, “Back to business! Boss,
how’s the target?” Estelle texted back, “Tricky.” She had yet to discover a way into the underground’s
twelfth level. Lambert had shared his analysis with her: Professor Bernard was almost certainly
carrying a bomb implanted by Mr. Raiden. His death could trigger an explosion that might collapse the
entire twelfth level, possibly even activating microwave weaponry. Even if the tech wasn’t fully
developed, the prototypes developed now were formidable. Just as Jonathan had warned, activation
could render Citadel a wasteland. But Estelle considered the likelihood slim. Mr. Raiden had no reason
to go down with Professor Bernard – nor would Triceratops allow it. Citadel was their stronghold, after
all. Still, before she made her move on Professor Bernard, she had to account for every contingency.
Her mission wasn’t just to eliminate him; she had to secure all his research. Blue Hawk pondered
another angle, “I’ve tried hacking Professor Bernard’s computer, but the core data’s not there. Where
could he be hiding it?” Estelle’s own doubts mirrored his, “I’ll figure it out soon.” Blue Hawk urged
caution, “Stay safe.”

Estelle reassured him, “Will do.” Goshawk remained optimistic, “With Jonah there, you’ll be well-
guarded.” After a bit more chatter, Estelle signed off from Eagle Valley, their conversation dissolving
into the ether. A headache nagging at her temples, Estelle downed a bottle of detox elixir and closed
her eyes, determined not to fall into a deep sleep. The thought of being roused by Lambert, revealing
her disheveled state, was unbearable. She’d forego sleep if it meant avoiding that. Soon, Jonathan’s
call came through – a video chat request. Estelle answered, “What’s up?” “Missing you,” came the
voice of the man perched on a balcony, mirroring her own. (Image) (Image) Estelle’s two arms were

widened, “Yes, Mr. Alvis.” “It’s your turn to come up with one,” he uttered.
