Chapter 4 - The Metallic Click
The plush rabbit tumbled through the air and hit the hard marble floor with a sharp, distinct metallic CLICK.
The force of the impact split open a concealed side seam along the soft blue fabric.
A tiny silver microchip drive slid out, spinning across the polished stone surface until it bumped directly against the toe of Alessandro's shoe.
Alessandro’s eyes widened in profound shock as he froze, staring down at the sleek piece of military-grade hardware.
Behind him, Vivian stopped dead in her tracks. Her face turned ghost-white, all the color draining from her lips as her eyes locked onto the gleaming silver drive.
She lunged forward desperately, her red dress rustling. "That's mine! Give that back!"
