Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 273

chapter 0273 

Joste’s POV 

(*) +28 BONU 

The next few days pass in disappointment, with no new leads and no success with Sage. Raff suspects the rogue faction has gone deep into hiding after they discovered we had found Annie, Lola and the children. Which makes sense, but it only makes it harder for us. 

The only real good news was that the food given to Annie and Lola had come back clean, so hopefully, that means there is no mole in our military. As a precaution, Raff had screened most of his team with compulsion and only allowed cleared personnel to work on anything to do with the rogues. 

I have more hope for today though. Archie is ready to attempt Mason’s plan and I have a good feeling about this. A tracker has been planted under Archie’s skin. The team that did it has assured us it will be undetectable, and it is the best technology in the world at the moment. 

OT 

Archie’s parents had said a tearful goodbye to him before we had ported near our first assessment office. We had been unable to identify the mole within the assessment office ranks because either our records were incorrect, they had been tampered with. 

“Last chance to change your mind,” Raff says as we set ourselves up in a building across the road from the assessment office to watch. 

“I’m not changing my mind. I can do this,” Archie says with determination. 

and I 

I go to him and wrap my arms around him. “Thank you for doing this. I can’t tell you how grateful we are, know how proud your parents are. Harper will be so pleased to see you, you’ll be her hero, as well as ours,” I tell him, and a huge grin spreads over his face. 

“Okay, show me one more time how you can make your eyes glow,” Raff says to him. 

Archie takes a breath, closing his eyes with a frown, and when he opens them again they flash blue for a split second. 

“That will do just fine, Kid,” Raff says, squeezing his shoulder affectionately. 

Usually, we would teach our teens to try and keep the eye flare under control if they’re going into the human realm, but with Archie, he’s been trained to show it on command. He needs to prove he’s a Grey to get past the 

will assessor. It’s a strange situation sending him in for the assessment. A huge part of me hopes that a rogue come and pick him up, but another part of me hopes we get the call to pick him up, meaning my staff are not 

rogues. 

“What makes you think you’re a Grey?” Mason asks. 

“I just knocked a wall down by kicking a football at it and my friends said my eyes flashed blue,” Archie answers without hesitation. 

The guys ask him a few more questions about his fake human life, and he answers each one easily. 

“He’s ready,” Raff nods, “Now remember, when you find Harper or need immediate extraction, you must tap your head exactly where the tracker chip is with the pattern you were shown.” 

“Four rapid taps, four seconds pause, then four taps one second apart,” Archie nods. 

“Perfect, good luck, Kid,” Raff smiles. 

We all wish him luck and then Luke ports him to the end of the street in a quiet alleyway. Luke returns, and we all
