Dr. Christopher Miller kissed Emily goodbye before the Smileys collected her for school. He raced his tired Rabbit to Amerimem's biomechanics cleanroom, staring at Project Tumor's wreckage of earlier prototypes-the sound and smell after humming to explosive oblivion. Ugh! Miller finally caught the crucial error-one he attributed to fogged grief. His lenses blurred, then something happened.
"Another glitch?" His voice pitched under the mask. Matt's eyes stretched toward him, mouth agape at the ghostly flickers dissipating within the static. "It's impossible!" Matt yelled, just before the monitors went blank. Chris caught his breath. The question became apparent. Could they recreate it? Yes.
Chris smuggled the prototype home, hands trembling as the boot sequence ran. Unexplainable, supernatural-not science! Emily stepped in, shivering. "Daddy?" She froze-motionless in shock when he showed her. That night, as his pillow soaked, Emily lay awake while vivid streaks painted her walls and her drapes blew open.
Dr. Miller was unaware of his boss's plans for Tumor-its mystical secret unshared. Other eyes tracked his work-others not employed by Amerimem.
When Dr. Miller awakened the next morning, he had no idea his life was targeted. Emily's, too. He stumbled upon an ancient mystery others would kill for.
