On the other side of the door, sleep had evaded Selena as she lay staring at the ceiling. How could she sleep now after all that had happened? She wasn't sure why she had locked the door in the first place. It's probably because I don't know how I'm supposed to face a person who has come back to life.

The final piece to the puzzle had fallen into place the moment she saw Pierre standing in front of her earlier that day.

On the presumption that her guess was correct, Pierre had faked his own death so that Zephyr Organization would let their guard down and when they did, he dealt them a final, deadly blow.
