Four years later.
Elijah stood in a steel chamber beneath Lagos City.
The Covenant Wardens watched from behind reinforced glass.
"Subject: Elijah Adebayo," a technician muttered. "Begin R-Index scan."
Machines hummed.
Light flickered around him.
Numbers appeared on the screen.
20.
21.
28.
The system glitched.
92.
95.
98.
The glass cracked.
"Shut it down!"
The monitor went blank.
Then displayed:
ERROR. RESONANCE UNDEFINED.
Naomi stared at him from the observation deck.
"That's not possible."
Pastor Gideon's voice was calm.
"It is."
Elijah looked up.
"Tell me where my sister is."
No one answered.
