CHAP 2: THE WATCH THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Dylan refused to believe it.
He demanded an inspection.
Officials checked the rifle.
The optics.
The ammunition.
Everything.
No violations.
No tricks.
No explanation.
As the inspection continued, Eleanor's sleeve slipped slightly.
A silver watch appeared beneath her glove.

Not from a store.
From an old federation archive.
