Imran's fingers flew over the keyboard, digging through the dark web forum. Every thread, every hidden message—it all felt like a puzzle waiting to be solved.

"Guys," he said, his voice tense. "I think I found what Samir was looking into before he died."

Everyone gathered around as he clicked open a hidden thread, locked behind an encrypted server. The title?

"Project Revenant – If You Know, Run."

"What the hell is Project Revenant?" Nadia whispered.

Imran clicked the thread, and a single post appeared. It was a list of names—half of them redacted. But one name stood out.

"His name is on here," Aria breathed. "Why? What does this mean?"

Imran scrolled down. A second list appeared, labeled 'Confirmed Terminated.'

"He wasn't just killed," Zayn said, voice low. "He was targeted."

Nadia pulled up Samir's old texts again. "If Samir found out about this project, maybe that's why he was panicking. He knew he was in danger."

Imran scrolled further. At the bottom of the page was a final, chilling message.

"If your name is on this list, you were never meant to leave alive."

A notification popped up on the screen.

"You're in too deep. Walk away, or you'll end up like him."

Then—before their eyes—the entire forum vanished. Deleted. Wiped clean.

Aria's hands shook. "They're watching us. Right now."

Zayn stood up. "No more running. If Samir was killed because of this, we need to find out who's behind it."

Imran turned to them, his face grim.

"We find out who else is on that list."
