Code Silence

Terry wakes on a cold concrete floor with blood on his hand, a dead phone, silent screens, and no memory of how he got there. The room should feel safe. It does not. Someone has wiped every trace of his work and left only one message. Run.

When a breach team drills through steel to reach him, Terry escapes into the service ducts of a city that has suddenly turned hostile. Every camera watches. Every corridor feels wrong. Friends who should trust him now hunt him. Someone inside his own agency has flagged him for removal, and the order is clean. No arrest. No questions. Just a cold exit.

As he follows hidden signals and coded marks left by Anya, the one person he trusts, Terry uncovers a plan that reaches deep into the agency he once served. A traitor inside has turned his past missions into weapons, and the truth sits locked behind a vault that only opens during a seven minute power dip. If he fails to reach it, his name and everyone connected to him will be erased.

Trapped between a leak that knows his moves and a city crowded with hunters, Terry races through tunnels, rooftops, alleys, and shadowed bays to stay one breath ahead. Every wrong turn becomes a dead end. Every ally might be the one who sold him out.

To survive he must break into the vault, expose the truth, and reach Anya before the agency completes the final step in his removal.

Seven minutes decide everything.
One mistake ends it.
