Chapter One: 12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTWfp8DUW
Leen Marcus was invisible by design.
Not the kind of invisible born of loneliness or neglect, but the carefully constructed invisibility of someone who wanted—needed—not to be seen too clearly. She lived in Apartment 3B of a nondescript brick building on the edge of the city, where neighbors nodded politely in the hallway without ever really remembering her name. She preferred it that way.
Each morning, she carried the same canvas tote bag down the three flights of stairs, left precisely at 7:45 a.m., and walked to the train. To anyone watching, she looked like an ordinary woman on her way to an ordinary job. The tote contained lunch, a paperback novel, and a notebook filled with neat handwriting. But beneath the book was a second phone, slim and silent, waiting.
Her colleagues at the downtown office thought of her as reliable, reserved, maybe even a little dull. She rarely joined them for after-work drinks, often pleading errands or exhaustion. They didn’t know that her evenings were anything but restful.
Because when the second phone finally buzzed, when the message came through in a cipher only she could read, Leen Marcus ceased to exist.
What replaced her was someone else entirely—an operative with a mind trained for precision, a body conditioned to move without hesitation, and a loyalty not to the office or the city, but to something far larger.
Tonight, the message was simple:
TARGET INBOUND. 23:00. TRACK, CONFIRM, REPORT.
She slipped the phone back beneath the paperback and closed the tote bag. At the café counter across from her office, the barista called her name. “Leen! Double espresso?”
She smiled, collected her coffee, and thanked him. To him, she was the quiet woman who liked her espresso strong. To her neighbors, she was the woman who always carried groceries on Thursdays. To her coworkers, she was the one who worked late without complaint.
None of them knew who she really was.
And if she had anything to do with it, they never would.
