Chapter 6 - SABOTAGE IN THE LAB
Inside the high-security genetics laboratory on the tenth floor, a lead technician took blood samples from Sarah, Lily, and Julian. The automated processing machine hummed smoothly, displaying a twenty-minute countdown for the DNA match results.
Julian paced back and forth in the waiting area, his charcoal jacket removed and his white shirt sleeves rolled up. Sarah sat quietly on a leather sofa, holding a cup of hot tea while Lily slept peacefully beside her.
"If the test proves you are Evelyn," Julian said, stopping in front of her, "it means someone faked your death, altered your records, and left you to survive on the streets of New York."
"I woke up in a public hospital in Queens five years ago with no wallet, no ID, and no memory," Sarah explained softly. "The social worker named me Sarah because of a faded tag on my jacket."
Suddenly, the lights inside the VIP hallway flickered and died, plunging the entire floor into emergency red lighting. Alarm sirens began blaring loudly, signaling a pressure breach in the chemical storage room.
Marcus immediately drew his sidearm, taking a defensive position near the door. "Sir, someone just jammed the floor’s security network!"
Julian rushed toward the glass partition of the genetics lab just in time to see a masked intruder in a lab coat swapping the blood vials inside the centrifuge.

"Drop the samples!" Julian roared, kicking open the heavy glass door with violent force.
The intruder spun around, pulling a concealed stun gun and firing directly at Julian’s chest. Julian dodged sideways, crashing into the lab counter as glass test tubes shattered onto the floor.
