One week passed, and still no trace of Terrence was found.
How could they? By now, he was already back in the United States.
After slipping past the border, he made his way through the forests on foot until he reached a small city in Estonia.
There, he finally managed to contact Dr. Ivan using a secure channel through the dark web.
Dr. Ivan didn't waste time.
Within days, a new identity was arranged for him . A fresh passport, new records, and a clean set of travel documents.
From there, it was just a series of carefully planned train rides, each leg chosen to avoid cameras and minimize checks.
He moved like a ghost, blending in among tired commuters and tourists who never even looked up from their phones.
Finally, with his new papers and a ticket, he boarded a flight to New York.
By the time the Russian and European agencies realized they had lost him, he was already stepping out of the airport terminal into the humid summer air of his home city.
