Chapter 100 Finding Her

• Demitri POV
• As we turn onto the industrial stretch leading to Southcore, Axel parks a block away, out of sight. We exit the car in silence, and I motion for everyone to stick close. With no way of knowing what waits for us inside, we move cautiously, taking cover behind old crates and stacks of rusted metal. The warehouse is surrounded by fencing and debris, long-abandoned, yet there’s a faint glow inside—movement, shadows shifting.
• We arrive outside the abandoned building. Blake motions to the entrance, his face taut with grim determination, and Lucas is already scanning the area, his jaw set.
