Chapter 6 - The UnravelingJulian backed himself into the rear lavatory, locking the door from the inside.
Inside the tiny bathroom, Julian panted heavily, staring at the silver teddy bear drive in his trembling hands. "If I destroy this, she has no proof," he muttered to himself. "I just need to break it... flush it..."
He shoved the drive into the toilet bowl and slammed the flush button. The vacuum suction roared—but the heavy metal drive jammed right at the opening, refusing to flush.
Desperate, Julian pulled out his heavy steel pen and began smashing the drive furiously against the sink, trying to destroy the microchip inside.
CRACK!
The casing shattered, but instead of computer chips and wires, something else fell out.
Inside the silver casing was not a hard drive. It was a tiny GPS tracker and a high-definition microphone—actively flashing a red LED light.
Julian froze. His heart stopped.
A voice suddenly crackled through the plane’s overhead PA system—and it was Julian’s own voice, recorded just ten minutes earlier in Row 12:

> "I know mothers like you. For you, your children are always little angels, but everyone around you has to suffer... Go by car... I have millions of dollars on this drive! If anyone comes near me, I’ll flush it!"
The recording was playing live across the entire plane—and broadcasting directly to a livestream that Clara’s legal team had set up on social media!
