The brownstone on Lincoln Park was quieter now. It held his absence like a held breath. Marcus stood in the hidden office beneath the garden—the one with the mahogany-trimmed windows and twelve crystal lustres catching the afternoon light. Dr. Hage had left him everything: the deeds, the hard drives, the color-coded binders full of history.

But it was the tapes that called to him tonight.

Marcus slid a disc into the stereo. The hum of old machinery filled the room. Then, a voice—calm, weathered, unmistakably his mentor’s—began to speak.

“If you’re hearing this, Marcus… then you’ve found the bunker. And you’re ready to hear the parts of my story that don’t fit in a biography.”
