Chapter 12 - The Rising Tide

Days passed, and Jack prepared for what was coming. His journey had only just begun, but he knew he needed more information, more resources. He couldn't fight Hesta alone. It was time to reach out to those who could help him—those who had fought against the shadows, those who had seen the truth.He used his portable computer to access encrypted networks, searching for anything that could lead him to other resistance movements. He couldn't afford to be subtle anymore. His name was already known. He was a threat, and Hesta would be hunting him.As Jack sifted through countless files and reports, one name kept coming up. A name that had been on the periphery of his investigation since the beginning: Rhea Nox. She was a former member of Hesta, someone who had defected years ago and gone underground. She had been one of the top strategists in the organization before she vanished from the radar. And now, Jack knew she was the key to finding the allies he needed.The more Jack dug, the clearer it became: Rhea was still out there. And if he could find her, he could learn how to strike at Hesta from within. She had the knowledge, the connections, and the experience to help him take down the organization once and for all.But Jack knew it wouldn't be easy. Rhea had gone into hiding for a reason. She had been a target of Hesta for years, and they wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her if they could. Finding her would be dangerous, but Jack wasn't one to back down from danger. He had already faced the impossible and come out on top. He could do it again.He started planning his next move. It was time to track down Rhea Nox.
