Stan's gaze hardened.
That was exactly what he had been afraid of.
Damien was no longer a known threat confined within four walls. He was now an unknown variable somewhere outside the prison, potentially surrounded by other escaped criminals and possessing abilities that he hadn't possessed before entering the facility.
Camilla watched Stan carefully.
She could tell from his expression that the situation had become far more serious than either of them had initially expected.
The commissioner spoke again.
"There's something else."
Stan looked toward the phone. "What?"
"The officers who saw him before the escape all said the same thing."
"What did they say?"
"They said Damien looked different."
Stan's eyes narrowed. "Different how?"
"They couldn't explain it properly. They said there was something about his presence that had changed. He seemed... stronger. More confident. Almost like he knew exactly what his body was capable of."
Stan fell silent.
