Alice's hands clenched into fists.
If this was true… if Graves had somehow survived…
Then it wasn't over.
She grabbed her gear, her mind already racing. She needed to move.
Because if Graves was still out there, then everything they had done, everything they had sacrificed, had been for nothing.
Alice stared at the message on her screen, her breath caught in her throat. *He's alive.* Two words that shattered everything she thought she knew. She had seen him die. She had watched the life drain from his eyes, felt his pulse fade beneath her fingers. But the message was clear, and it wasn't the only one. Reports were surfacing, whispers of a man who should be dead. A man with Graves' face.
