Intern’s Log: So, One of the Missing Good Boys Might Be Out There, and He’s Not Playing Nice

  Date: Redacted

  Intern ID: Reynolds, J. (I have officially seen the news report, and I want to unsee it.)

  So.

  I was minding my own business, trying not to think about the fact that there are three Good Boys unaccounted for—

  When this news report lands on my desk.

  And now?

  Now I am rethinking every life choice I’ve ever made.

  Because one of them is out there.

  And she’s not just surviving.

  She’s hunting.

  Phase One: The Moment I Realized This Wasn’t Just Some Conspiracy Nonsense

  At first, I thought, Okay. Probably just some guy trying to make headlines.

  But then I read the details.

  ? Man claims he was attacked by a masked figure with a dog-like face.

  ? No footprints, no forensic evidence, but injuries matching close-quarters military combat techniques.

  ? Two weeks later, man is arrested and convicted for crimes against a child.

  ? Some federal agents think it was an extrajudicial hit.

  Oh.

  Oh no.

  This wasn’t just some weirdo in a dog mask.

  This was one of them.

  And if this report is real?

  That means at least one of the missing three didn’t just escape—she is actively hunting.

  And she’s choosing her targets.

  Phase Two: The Name No One Wants to Say

  Now, look.

  We do not talk about Marlow.

  ? Subject 003.

  ? One of the original ten.

  ? Disappeared during an off-site mission.

  ? Never officially confirmed KIA.

  And, most importantly:

  ? Marlow was the best at tracking.

  ? Better than Rags.

  ? Better than anyone.

  If she decided you were prey?

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  You weren’t going to escape.

  And now she’s out there, making sure the worst people on the planet never see a courtroom.

  Phase Three: The Implications That Are Keeping Me Awake at Night

  Let’s break this down.

  ? The three missing Good Boys weren’t just erased—they left.

  ? Marlow is almost definitely still alive.

  ? She didn’t just disappear—she’s working.

  ? She’s choosing targets based on something.

  ? The U.S. government is pretending none of this is happening.

  And the worst part?

  ? She is better at this than anyone else.

  We are not dealing with a rogue experiment that just wants to be left alone.

  Marlow is executing missions.

  Her missions.

  And I don’t think anyone is controlling her.

  Phase Four: The Time I Brought It Up to the Wrong Person (Again)

  Because I am a genius, I went to Cairo about this.

  "So. Hypothetically."

  "Mhm?"

  "If Marlow was still alive, and, uh… doing things. Would we know about it?"

  Cairo grinned.

  "Oh, Reynolds. You already know the answer."

  I hate him so much.

  Phase Five: What This Means (And Why I Might Need to Move to a Bunker)

  ? Marlow is out there.

  ? She is not acting randomly.

  ? She is doing what he was built to do: track, stalk, and eliminate targets.

  ? The only difference? No one is giving her orders anymore.

  ? She is doing this because she wants to.

  And here’s the thing—

  If Marlow is choosing her own targets now…

  What happens when she decides there’s something bigger to hunt?

  Final Thoughts (I Need a New Career)

  ? One of the missing Good Boys is confirmed active.

  ? She is executing his own missions.

  ? She is eliminating threats before the government can even arrest them.

  ? We have no idea how long she’s been doing this.

  ? And worse?

  If Marlow is still alive—

  That means Harper and Dante might be, too.

  I don’t know what comes next.

  But I do know this—

  We were never meant to let them out into the world.

  And now?

  The world isn’t ready for them.

  End Log.
