Chapter 112
Morning light streamed through Victoria's office windows, turning the silver in her hair to platinum. She stood at the head of the conference table, reviewing the Phoenix Grid's reports.
"Power distribution remains stable," she noted, flipping through papers with practiced efficiency. "No anomalies detected overnight."
Camille watched from across the table, noticing something off about Victoria. Her normally flawless complexion had a grayish tinge, and faint shadows underlined her eyes.
"Are
you feeling alright?" Camille asked quietly while Alexander studied technical readouts beside her.
Victoria dismissed the
question with a sharp wave. "I'm fine. Let's focus on Section B. The activation is scheduled for noon." Alexander glanced up. "My security team reports no suspicious activity. If Rose and Herod are planning something, they're being extraordinarily careful."
Victoria nodded, but the movement seemed to throw her off balance
momentarily. She steadied herself against the table so quickly that Camille wondered if she'd imagined it.
"Hannah's team has implemented additional safeguards," Victoria continued, her voice slightly thinner than usual. "Any attempt to interfere with the Grid's operation will trigger immediate..." She stopped mid-sentence, her hand going to her temple.
"Victoria?" Camille half-rose from her chair.
"As I was saying," Victoria pushed on, her words more deliberate now, "any attempt to interfere will trigger immediate... immediate..."
The pen slipped from her fingers, clattering against the polished
table. Victoria stared at it with mild surprise, as if she couldn't quite understand what had happened.
"I think perhaps I should..." she murmured, and then her legs simply gave way.
Alexander moved with startling speed, catching Victoria before she hit the floor. Her body went limp in his arms, her head rolling back unnaturally.
"Victoria!" Camille rushed around the table, dropping to her knees beside
them. "Victoria, can you hear me?"
Victoria's eyes fluttered open, unfocused and confused. "Something's wrong," she whispered, the admission seeming to cost her terribly.
Alexander already had his phone out, barking orders for medical assistance. Camille pressed her fingers to Victoria's wrist, feeling the rapid, fluttering pulse.
"Stay with us," she urged, fighting to keep her voice steady. "Help is coming."
Victoria's hand found Camille's, her grip surprisingly strong. "The Grid," she managed.
"Don't let them...."
Her eyes rolled back, and her body went rigid before beginning to seize.
"Turn her on her side," Alexander commanded. "Keep her airways clear."
The next minutes blurred together. Security personnel burst into the room, followed by a medical team. They pushed Camille and Alexander back, surrounding Victoria with efficient professionalism.
