Chapter 6 - THE MAN IN THE MIRRORThat night, Evelyn couldn't sleep.
At 2:17 a.m., she heard glass break.
She rushed downstairs.
Nothing.
Then she saw herself reflected in the hallway mirror.
Except her reflection wasn't moving.
Evelyn stopped.
Her reflection slowly raised one finger to its lips.
Then wrote on the mirror from the inside:
BASEMENT.
Evelyn stepped backward.
Daniel arrived moments later.
Together they found a hidden entrance beneath the building.
The basement wasn't part of the official blueprint.
Inside were dozens of monitors.
Photographs.
Bank records.
Surveillance files.
And hundreds of photographs of Evelyn.
Her office.
Her home.
Her childhood.
Her first day at Blackwood Industries.
Someone had been watching her for years.
Daniel found one final file.
PROJECT EMPTY CHAIR.
Inside was a photograph of Marcus.
Next to it was another photograph.
The same face.
Different man.
Daniel whispered:
“Evelyn... Marcus wasn't the target.”

She looked at him.
“He was the replacement.”
