 +=== Chapter 26 — The Place With No “Open” ===
  
 +
 +
 +The destination wasn’t a cabin, thank God.
 +
 +
 +It was a dead facility.
 +
 +
 +A former utility site that had been quietly converted into something Foundation-shaped: thick walls, manual locks, minimal glass, paper logs, analog clocks that didn’t click.
 +
 +
 +No screens in the main corridor. No radios. No soft welcoming lights.
 +
 +
 +The entrance procedure was intentionally rude: multiple physical locks, two-person verification, and a hallway designed to have as few “choice moments” as possible.
 +
 +
 +Mai looked at it the way she looked at a well-made weapon.
 +
 +
 +“This is sane,” she murmured.
 +
 +
 +Ace snorted. “That’s a sentence you shouldn’t say out loud.”
 +
 +
 +Mai didn’t smile. “I didn’t say safe.”
 +
 +
 +Halverson unlocked the final door. Metal. Resistance. Honest.
 +
 +
 +Inside, a small team waited—two agents and one tech, all quiet, all eyes practical, none of them trying to be charismatic at 2 p.m. on a nightmare day.
 +
 +
 +One of the agents nodded. “Bright is on HARD LINE. He’ll speak when you’re settled.”
 +
 +
 +Ace muttered, “Of course he will.”
 +
 +
 +Mai murmured back, “Don’t turn it into a ritual.”
 +
 +
 +Ace shut up.
