Against their grandfather’s lifelong warnings, Tuesday stepped out into the world. She wore Monday’s power suit and carried Monday’s briefcase, her heart hammering against her ribs. She had to find the trail. The Betrayal

during the loft raid.

In a hidden archive, Tuesday found a digital contract. Monday had traded her sisters' lives for her own survival and the chance to live a full life with a man she loved—a secret she had kept from them for months. Monday was pregnant with twins, and the only way to save them was to ensure the "one child" rule applied only to her. The Last Stand

fell during the initial breach, sacrificing herself to buy the others time.

Tuesday’s investigation led her to a private meeting Monday had scheduled with Nicolette Cayman, the head of the CAB. But as Tuesday navigated the sterile halls of the Bureau, she realized the horrifying truth. Monday hadn't been captured. She had negotiated.

It was Tuesday morning. The air in the loft was thick with panic. Monday, the most disciplined and career-driven of the sisters, had vanished after her shift at the bank.
