Uncovering the Truth

Maya's words hung in the air like a challenge. "Ethan, your parents' research was more than just a scientific breakthrough. It was a threat to the Agency's control."

I leaned in, my heart racing. "What do you mean?"

"The Eclipse Project," Maya began, "was a top-secret initiative to harness renewable energy. But it had the potential to disrupt the global power structure."

Nova entered the kitchen, her eyes locked onto Maya. "You're telling him too much."

Maya's expression turned resolute. "He deserves to know. Ethan, your parents discovered something revolutionary. A way to generate limitless clean energy."

Rachel appeared beside Nova, her eyes guarded. "But the Agency will stop at nothing to keep it suppressed."

I felt the weight of their words. My parents' research could change the world.

Suddenly, Maya's phone buzzed. Her expression darkened.

"What is it?" Nova asked, alarm etched on her face.

"It's Phoenix," Maya replied. "The Agency's closing in. We have to leave, now."
