Epilogue: Daniel’s Last Message
The colonel reached inside his coat and drew out another envelope.
It was smaller than the others, visibly older, and bore a red military seal across its front.
He placed it directly into my hands.
“Captain Carter gave us specific instructions. This envelope was to be delivered only if certain conditions were met following his death.”
I stared at it, suddenly unable to move.
My fingers began trembling again.
On the front was Daniel’s unmistakable handwriting.
Seven words that nearly stopped my heart.
“If they force you out… open this immediately.”
