—I’ve come to return this… it belongs to Mr. Salazar.
The guard let out a dry laugh.
—Yes, of course… and I suppose you expect a reward too, right?
Mateo lowered his eyes… he was used to it.
But before he could reply… a sudden noise cut through the air.
An alarm.
Shouts.
—Code red! The baby is unresponsive!
The guard was distracted… and Mateo saw his chance.
He didn’t hesitate.
Running.
Hallway after hallway… until he reached a glass door.
And what he saw froze him.
A baby… motionless.
A mother… devastated.
Doctors… defeated.
And something else.
Something tiny… almost invisible.
One detail… no one else noticed.
Mateo frowned.
