Chapter 60: Season 2 – Episode 3
Into the Abyss
---
The rain hammered the city streets like a relentless drumbeat, washing away footprints but not the weight of the coming storm. Julian, Eve, and Reese moved like ghosts themselves — slipping through the maze of alleyways with practiced precision, the data drive burning a hole in Eve's jacket pocket.
"We can't afford mistakes," Julian murmured, eyes darting to every shadow. "The Wraiths have spies everywhere."
Reese chuckled darkly. "I'm starting to think the whole city's a spiderweb, and we're the flies."
Eve adjusted the comm strapped to her wrist, her breath visible in the cold night air. "We're walking into the lion's den. But we have to find their base. That's the only way to cripple them."
---
Deep underground, the city's forgotten subway tunnels had become something else — a hidden fortress carved out by the Wraiths. Dim lights flickered along rusted tracks as guards patrolled with augmented weapons that hummed faintly with energy.
Julian crouched beside a grated vent. "There. The comm signal spikes."
Eve plugged in a small device, fingers flying over the interface. "Got it. We're inside their network."
Reese peeked around the corner. "And I see more guards than I'd like."
---
The trio moved silently, shadows merging with the darkness. Every step brought them closer to the heart of the Wraiths' operation — an underground control room pulsing with eerie blue light and alive with data streams.
Eve's eyes widened as she scanned the walls lined with monitors. "This is worse than we thought. They're planning simultaneous strikes — power grids, financial centers, and military installations."
Julian clenched his jaw. "If they pull this off, the entire city could collapse into chaos."
Reese loaded a flashbang grenade. "Let's make sure that doesn't happen."
---
Suddenly, alarms blared — red lights flashing violently. The Wraiths had detected them.
"Move!" Julian barked.
Bullets ricocheted as the team sprinted through the maze of tunnels. Reese's shots echoed, taking down foes with deadly precision, while Eve frantically worked to upload a virus into the Wraiths' network.
"Almost there," she panted. "Just need a few more seconds."
Julian covered her, firing bursts that lit up the darkness.
---
Outside, the rain masked their escape, the city's chaos swallowing their footsteps as the Wraiths roared in fury behind them.
But Eve's device beeped sharply. "Virus upload complete. Their systems are collapsing."
Julian exhaled, a grim smile breaking through. "One battle won, but the war's far from over."
---
As the team vanished into the storm, a figure watched from the shadows — smiling coldly.
"The Wraiths will rise again," the voice whispered. "Stronger. Deadlier."
