Echo-1 haunted us.

What did it mean?

Zade's eyes burned with determination.

"We'll find out."

Axel hacked into secure databases.

Thompson dug through classified files.

I scoured the dark web.

But every lead ended in a dead-end.

Frustration mounted.

"We're missing something," Zade said.

That night, I received a chilling message:

"Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight. Come alone."

No signature.

My heart racing, I showed Zade.

"Trap," he growled.

Axel nodded. "Let's set a trap of our own."

Thompson provided backup.

At midnight, we surrounded the clock tower.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

Hood up, face obscured.

"Who are you?" Zade demanded.

The figure stepped forward.

"I'm someone who knows the truth."

Echo-1.

"Project Nightshade."

The figure revealed a shocking connection:

"Your family, Zade...they're involved."

Zade's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

The figure vanished into the night.

Leaving us with more questions.
