Chapter 36 “What the hell?!” Theo blurted, blinking in disbelief. In the front yard, Calix wasn’t just training with Aries.

Chapter 29 “The owners thought it was overkill,” Andres replied, lowering his voice, “but the engineer was firm about it. He said it wasn’t just for storms or break-ins. He told them, ‘The end is near. You’ll thank me when the world starts to fall apart p> Theo’s eyes narrowed.
Chapter 28 Andres introduced, “This is my wife, Brenda Moore.” Theo and Aries exchanged pleasantries with Brenda, then quickly followed her inside with Calix and Andres. Theo sat at the long dining table, a laptop open in front of him as he spoke with the owners over a video call.
