Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 – Doppelgänger

Milan – Evelyn's Apartment

Evelyn gripped the Glock tighter, her breath shallow. The mirror… was normal now. Her reflection moved when she moved.

But that smile—she had seen it.

Suddenly, her burner phone buzzed.

A single message:

"Subject 10 is real. Get out. Now."

She didn't hesitate. Slinging her duffel over her shoulder, she slipped out the back.

In the Shadows – Subject 10

The clone watched her from the rooftop across the street. Every movement of Evelyn's was mirrored by her own muscle memory.

But Subject 10 was faster.

And she had no conscience.

Meanwhile – Adrian arrives

Adrian's car screeched to a halt in front of the apartment. He burst in with weapon raised, sweeping corners.

Too late.

She was already gone.

But something was left behind.

A photo.

Of him and Evelyn. Torn in half. The side with Evelyn burned.

And on the wall, written in lipstick:

"You replaced me. I'll replace you."

Flashback – Project Gemini

Adrian remembered it now. The experiment. The secret facility.

The attempt to create an "improved Evelyn."

They succeeded.

But they lost control.

"She's not Evelyn," Adrian muttered. "She's what they wanted Evelyn to be."

"And that makes her a monster."
