  Part Four             “It may be out of your hands…but not mine .”             Those were the last words Aznavorian told General Yvette Dwonch while in their ‘Skeeta Jenkins’ incarnation. Skeeta was the one who first saw it coming—the literal backfire of the Global Lockdown Protocol. He found out about it during a UNIT ordeal that required his consultation—Neas wasn’t available at the time. Classified information that he obtained through a hack so small that no one in the Pentagon would even notice. Yvette was the only one he told.             They trusted her as much as she trusted them.             Unfortunately, that trust only went as far as Global Lockdown.             “This won’t go the way y...

  Part Three             A dead mouse was lying on a table, and yet—somehow—Tyler and Jennifer were still craving cheese. It got worse when they arrived in Tammany Hall, at what was the Grand Wake of Mickey O’Hare, a mouse killed by a cat.

She wished she had something more powerful, like a Mark 2 Lancer Assault Rifle. Unfortunately, the best option she could have used was locked away in the black archives vault at the Torchwood America hub. With her revolver, she was merely tickling the cat.             Once it had enough of her ineffective assault, the cat swiped her out of the way.             Rania didn’t catch sight of where Leeka’s small mouse body landed after colliding with one of the fruit stands. However, what truly captured her attention was the moment the large cat opened its mouth wide to unleash a powerful roar. Intrigued and feeling a surge of audaci...
