Deep into the night, I woke up to the sound of Amy shivering beside me. The room was quiet except for her occasional cough, and I could feel the tension in her body. She was sweating and running a temperature, and her face was pale against the pillow.

I stayed awake most of the night, watching her, making sure she didn’t move too much or slip further into weakness and to also know if she would need a doctor. I kept a hand lightly on her back, checking her breathing every few minutes.

I tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible to get through the night. It was the first time I was seeing Amy sick since we met and that was what worried me the most.

By morning, she had barely slept. Her hair was damp from sweat, and her movements were slow. I got out of bed first, careful not to wake her fully, and checked the monitors in the security room.

Everything seemed quiet, but my attention kept returning to Amy. I poured a glass of water and carried it back, sitting beside her as she sipped. She barely looked at me.

“You didn’t sleep well,” I said softly.

“I’ll be fine,” she replied without much conviction. Her voice was low, almost trembling.

“I need you to take care of yourself,” I said firmly. “You can’t help anyone if you collapse.”

She nodded slightly but didn’t protest further. I let her rest for a few more minutes while I dressed and prepared for the day. My mind was already focused on the files and breaches that had surfaced last night. Before leaving, I called Brian into my office privately.

“I need a full rundown on the breach Clara used to steal Carter Enterprise documents, the one that my wife figured out before she fell asleep last night.” I said once he closed the door.

Brian opened his tablet and scrolled through the reports. “It’s worse than we thought. Clara didn’t act alone. Someone helped her from inside the South Pack, but we haven’t identified them yet. The records match a member who still has access privileges.”

I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my forehead. “Start a quiet internal sweep. Check every employee with Carter Enterprise clearance who is also affiliated with the South Pack. No one outside this office can know. I don’t want the wrong person to be alerted.”

Brian nodded. “Understood. I’ll have preliminary results by tonight.”

I left the office and made my way back to Amy. She was at the desk in the private study,

scanning through a set of documents, her face pale and focused. I stopped behind her, resting my hands lightly on her shoulders.

“You need to rest,” I said. “You can’t do this now.”

“I just want to see what’s here,” she said softly, without turning to look at me. “It won’t take long.”

“I’m not arguing. You need to slow down,” I said firmly. She hesitated, then nodded, promising to rest after going through a few more pages. I stayed with her, making sure she didn’t push herself too hard. She winced slightly when standing, and I caught it immediately.

“You’re hurting,” I said, noticing the subtle tension in her movement.

“It’s just stress,” she said quickly, brushing it off. “I’m okay.”

I shook my head. “Stress doesn’t make you wince when you move. You’re not okay. Let the doctor check you.”

She hesitated, then nodded reluctantly. I didn’t push further. I left her to rest briefly and made my way to the security wing.

The footage review was meticulous. I replayed hours of internal camera recordings, looking for anything that might have been missed. Then, I caught a short clip from several days ago, near the restricted area.

Selene was walking down the corridor. Her timing and presence didn’t match any authorized schedule. She wasn’t supposed to be there.

My suspicion increased immediately. I paused the footage and studied every movement, the way she glanced at the door, the way she handled the access panel.

Everything suggested she was there intentionally, and it connected to the timeline of Marielle’s shooting. I made notes, ensuring I had clear timestamps and angles. It was still frustrating because it still wasn’t proof she shot Marielle.

Before I left, I received a message from Cole. My phone buzzed quietly in my pocket. He wrote that the latest MRI scan on Marielle revealed bullet fragments remained inside her wound, and that was why her condition was deteriorating. The silver–laced bullet, combined with the wolfsbane coating, had prevented proper healing even with Amy’s healing abilities.

I stood there in silence for a moment, processing the news. I needed to coordinate the next steps quickly. First, Amy had to be checked and properly rested.

Then, Marielle needed more advanced medical attention to remove the fragments safely. The risk of another attack was still possible, and I could not allow the team to act without full information.

I returned to Amy. She was sitting quietly, still skimming documents but moving slower now. I knelt beside her chair.

“You need to rest fully,” I said again. “We can go over this later. Nothing here is going anywhere.”

“I promise I’ll slow down,” she said. “Just a little longer.”

I watched her, noting the strain in her eyes and her slightly shaky hands. “Alright,” I said finally. “But after this, you’re going to rest. No exceptions.”

She gave me a small nod and continued. I reminded her occasionally to drink water and shift her position. Her body was reacting to the stress and lack of sleep, and I needed to ensure she didn’t overextend.

Later, I moved to review more footage related to the breach. I cross–referenced Selene’s movements with internal access logs. It became clearer that she had a role in the earlier attack on Marielle. I noted every detail, every second she appeared near restricted areas.

By mid–morning, I returned to Amy to ensure she was standing properly. She looked pale but focused on the documents. I gently took the papers from her hands.

“You’re done for now,” I said.
