Chapter 21 - Shadow of the city chapter 21

The whistling stopped. The performer turned – eyes hollow "Looking for the Songbird's song?" he asked, voice robotic

Zara's instincts kicked in. "You're under the Professor's control."

Amara stepped forward. "What's the song?"

The performer handed them a phone – a file: "Songbird's Echo.mp3" .

Play it?

A low hum filled the air, then lyrics emerged: "In shadows, I find my voice..."

The Professor's voice interrupted: "Now, forget."

The market blurred. Zara and Amara stumbled back, memories slipping...

Amara grasped Zara's hand. "What happened?"

Zara's eyes sharpened. "He's messing with us. We need the antidote."

Clue: The Songbird's song counteracts the mind control.
