It didn't take long before they were standing face-to-face with the director of the Country M research base.

Before Jackson or Fiona could say a word, the director hit a button, and two people appeared behind them almost instantly.

Jackson's entire expression changed in a split second. Those two people-it was his parents. The ones he'd spent years searching for.

Fiona's temper spiked the moment she realized what was happening. She moved closer to Jackson, glanced up at his tense profile, and whispered, "Jackson?"

She could see the pain written all over his face, the heartbreak in his eyes.

"I'm okay, Fiona. Don't worry about me," he said softly, but she saw the truth-the longing and panic he was trying so hard to hide.

Really, who could stay calm in this situation? After all these years, his parents were right in front of him. No one else could understand what that felt like.

The research base had always seemed to have the upper hand-until this arrogant cyborg tried to take over by swapping identities.

But a cyborg will always be a cyborg. No matter how well it mimics a real person, it can never really escape its own programming.

"Come here quietly, or I'll kill them. You've been looking for them for years, haven't you? They're right in front of you now. What are you waiting for?" the director taunted.

His words had barely faded when a sudden explosion rocked the building. The entire electrical system blew, backup generators and all.
