Reborn Traitor: The Wife Who Doomed Earth
Chapter 14: The Wallfacer’s Den
“Chief,” Sharma saluted Brigadier Singh, the old man’s eyes crinkling with a rare smile. “Sharma, after all these years, you’re still so driven.”
A few hundred years, Sharma thought, hiding a private grin. “Chief, how much do you remember? About the future.”
“I don’t remember,” Singh shook his head. Sharma looked around—the facility’s security surpassed even the Planetary Defense Council’s base. Singh led him down a tunnel. “Want to join Mohan’s interrogation?”
“Not done yet?” Sharma asked. “Getting him here was a thousand times harder than getting you,” Singh said lightly. “After Sameer reported, the higher-ups spared no effort to bring him in. He was under anaesthesia the whole time.”
Sharma nodded, impressed. “Since you’re here, you’ll have to stay a while before going out again.”
“Can I know where we are?” Sharma quipped. “It’s fine, I can tell you.”
“If I’m not mistaken, we’re in Jharkhand,” Sharma guessed. Singh nodded, recognising his skills. “This isolation point is under a power plant—its dropping efficiency is our cover. An imaginative engineer built it solely to isolate sophons.”
They entered the interrogation room—a war room suite, all personnel trusted. Mohan was in an outer room, interrogator in headphones representing the experts. Sharma saw Devansh, who didn’t recognise him yet, and a tall, sharp-eyed woman: Major Lakshmi Nair. Her handshake was firm, her gaze unwavering. Sharma made a mental note: never turn your back on this one.
