DEEP REST
Chapter 16:
The Resuscitation
Evelyn. The Flatline. The Whisper of Life.
The monitors whined. A long, flatline tone.
Evelyn’s heart had stopped. Her brain activity, a
chaotic storm moments before, was now a silent,
empty expanse.
"Time of death: 03:47," Dr. Volkov confirmed.
The Director stood over Evelyn, his gaze fixed on
the flatline. "No! Not like this! I needed her data! I
needed her knowledge!"
The alarm continued to shriek through the facility,
a chaotic counterpoint to The Director’s rage.
"Intruder alert! Sector Gamma! Sub-level 3!"
"Secure the perimeter!" he roared at his remaining
operatives. "Find them! And Volkov! Get her
stabilized! I don't care how! I need her alive!"
