Chapter 20 - THE SECRET FLOOR The evidence led back to Harrington Tower.
A maintenance blueprint revealed a floor that did not exist on official plans.
Floor 43.
Accessible only through an old service elevator.
Daniel knew nothing about it.
Michael did.
Charles had built it decades earlier.
We entered at midnight.
The floor contained surveillance equipment.
Files.
Photographs.
And hundreds of recordings.
People had been watched for years.
Employees.
Executives.
Politicians.
Even family members.
Then we found Samuel.
Alive.
Weak.
But conscious.
He had been kept in a small room.
We freed him.
Before leaving, I noticed a monitor.
It displayed a live camera feed.
Harrington House.
Someone was watching us.
Then another window appeared.
My apartment.
Claire's house.
The Ruth Carter Center.
My stomach turned.
The person behind everything knew where we were.
And they had been watching for months.
Daniel shut down the system.
But one final recording began automatically.
Charles Harrington appeared on-screen.
He looked directly into the camera.
“If you're watching this, I'm already dead.”
He smiled.
“And if Claire is alive…”

His smile disappeared.
“Then the real problem begins.”
