Chapter 3: The Woman Everyone Thought Was Dead
Emergency alarms echoed through the building.
Security officers rushed into the suite.
No one was allowed to leave.
The document disappeared into an evidence bag.
Yet every person in the room felt the same thing.
Someone else wanted it back.
The boy remained strangely calm.
He walked toward the old man.
"You weren't protecting yourself."
The old man stared at the ceiling.
"I was protecting her."
Every doctor looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
His voice cracked.
"They told me if I ever spoke..."
"...they would kill my daughter."
The room froze.
The boy frowned.
"My mother never had a sister."
The old man's eyes widened.
"No..."
He whispered.
"Not your mother."
He slowly pointed toward the document.
"The woman whose name is on the last page."
The male doctor carefully turned it over.
Taped beneath the final sheet...
Was a tiny, faded photograph.
A young woman smiled into the camera.
The female doctor gasped.
"I know her."
Everyone turned.
"That's impossible."
The doctor shook her head.
"I pronounced her dead nine years ago."
The room turned ice cold.
If she had died...
Who had been moving millions of dollars in her name?
Then every phone inside the room vibrated simultaneously.
An unknown video began playing.
The image cleared.
The same woman looked directly into the camera.
Alive.
Terrified.
"If anyone is watching this..."
She glanced behind her.
"...they finally found the cast."
The video cut off.

Someone pulled the hospital's fire alarm.
