Boston Alley, 3:30 AM
Romanov got the anonymous message an hour ago:
> "You're getting too close. Meet me. Alone. 3:30 AM. South End. Or bury your career with her corpse."
Now, he stood in the shadows of an empty alley. Cold. Gun tucked.
Footsteps echoed behind him.
Isabella emerged from the dark - hood up, face veiled in shadows.
Romanov (gripping his coat):
"You're supposed to be dead."
Isabella (flat):
"Suppose doesn't mean truth. You saw me. So I saw you first."
Romanov:
"Why fake it? Why go this far?"
Isabella:
"Because the people looking for me don't knock. They kill. And I have work to finish."
He studied her. She didn't blink. Didn't shift.
Romanov:
"If I don't report this-"
Isabella (interrupting):
"Then you survive the year."
She handed him a folder.
Isabella:
"You want peace? Take the deal. I work with your task force. Legal. Silent. Nothing else. You never saw me again. You speak of me - you die."
Romanov (hesitating):
"And if I refuse?"
Isabella (smirks coldly):
"Then I make your autopsy look like a heart attack."
She vanished before he could answer.

Compound - Dark Room
Thomas Walker sat in front of a massive 6-screen layout. Isabella's death file was open. Her autopsy photos. Her forged an ID. Digital signature logs.
Beside him, G G stood over a body bag.
Inside - a perfect replica. Burnt, disfigured, but with the same height, weight, DNA patchwork,and dental records.
GG:
"That's the third replica we've run through customs. I want a raise."
Thomas (grinning):
"You'll get one after we fake her funeral a second time."
They uploaded new metadata into FBI archives:
*DNA confirmation
*Dental match
*Death certificate
*Cremation receipt
*Traffic footage destroyed
*Obituary backdated
Thomas:
"We just buried her again."
GG:
"Let's see who's dumb enough to dig her up."

Isabella's Office - Later That Night
She stood at her window again, looking out at the silent trees.
Isabella (to herself):
"I don't exist. And still... everyone wants me."
Her phone buzzed - text from Romanov:
> "I never saw you. I hope that corpse looked peaceful."
She locked the screen.
Isabella:
"It didn't."
