Chapter 21 - A Mysterious Signal Transmits From The Deep Maine Woods
Late into the night, after the entire mountain estate had settled into peaceful silence, a red light flickered on a tree trunk.
Deep within the dark pine forest, five hundred yards beyond Damian’s outer perimeter wall, a hidden surveillance lens zoomed in.
The camera focused sharply on the dark second-floor window of Mia’s bedroom, capturing high-resolution infrared thermal images.
Inside a modified black van parked on an unpaved logging road, a figure wearing tactical headphones adjusted a frequency dial.
A satellite phone on the console illuminated with a text message from an encrypted server originating out of Zurich, Switzerland.
“Phase One is complete,” the encrypted message read on the screen. “The target believes the Apex Trust was fully dismantled.”

“Activate Phase Two at dawn. The real masterminds want the girl brought to London before the international summit opens.”
The figure typed a brief confirmation code into the terminal, lowered the night-vision scope, and vanished into the pitch-black forest.
