Alexander's world crumbled as Rachel's words echoed in his mind.
"You were always a pawn, Alexander."
He stumbled backward, his eyes scanning the rooftop as if searching for an escape.
Rachel's laughter haunted him.
"Your memories, your identity... all fabricated."
Alexander's thoughts reeled.
What was real?
What was lies?
Flashes of his past assaulted him:
Childhood memories: playing with his sister, laughing with his parents.
Teenage years: rebellion, angst, and first love.
Military service: camaraderie, sacrifice, and honor.
CIA training: discipline, loyalty, and duty.
But were these memories genuine?
Or implanted?
Alexander's mind raced.
He recalled his handler, Rachel.
Her guidance.
Her manipulation.
A chill ran down his spine.
He had been programmed.
To obey.
To deceive.
To kill.
Alexander's eyes locked onto Rachel.
"Why?" he demanded.
Rachel's expression softened.
"You were chosen, Alexander."
Chosen?
For what?
Alexander's anger boiled over.
"Tell me!"
Rachel's voice dropped to a whisper.
"Project Eclipse.
You were the prototype."
Prototype?
Alexander's world shattered.
He was a puppet.
A tool.
A monster.
