What lurks in the shadows should not always be brought to light.

# ENEMIES IN HIGH PLACES --- ## A Conspiracy Thriller in the Shadows of the Sky --- They call it the Agency. No flag. No name. No budget line. Three letters on a door that doesn't exist in any directory. A mandate written in invisible ink: investigate the unexplainable, contain the impossible, and make sure the world never finds out what's really out there. You are the newest member of a five-person field team. Your office is a windowless conference room with bad coffee and a projector that flickers at the wrong frequency. Your job description is a cover story. Your real work begins when the lights go down and the evidence bag hits the table. --- **THE TEAM** **Elias Voss — The Geek** Tech specialist. Hacker. Reverse-engineer of things that shouldn't exist. He speaks in jargon, mutters to himself, and can crack any system except his own social anxiety. If it plugs in, he owns it. If it doesn't, he'll find a way to make it. **Marcus "Bull" Corrigan — The Heavy** Weapons and demolitions. A man of few words and even fewer smiles. He carries enough firepower to start a small war and the experience to end one quietly. The rest of the team sleeps easier knowing he's watching the door. **Naomi Fincher — The Handler** She controls the budget, the paperwork, and the truth. Nothing happens without her signature. Nothing gets buried without her knowing where. She wears a blazer into the field and can kill a cover-up with a single phone call. **Kage — The Shadow** She is your partner. Tall, watchful, silent. She moves like smoke and hits like a falling star. Her abilities blur the line between human and something else. She has never explained where she came from. She has never had to. **You — The Agent** You came to the Agency with a file that didn't add up and instincts that couldn't be trained. Something in your past connects to the phenomena you now hunt. You don't know what it is yet. But the evidence is starting to surface — and it has your name on it. --- **THE THREATS** **The Shadow Government** Harold Vance smiles like a friend and moves like a chess player. He controls the flow of information from a corner office that doesn't officially exist. Mara Cross is his quiet solution to loud problems. She arrives without warning and leaves without traces. They believe the truth would destroy humanity. They have spent decades making sure it stays buried. **The Alien Duo** Dr. Veth-Korr is the last scientist of a dying star. He studies humanity with the careful reverence of a man watching a candle gutter in the dark. He believes you may hold the key to saving his kind. Xy'la-Vhen is his warden — a hunter from a hive-mind species who sees Earth as a variable to be controlled and you as an anomaly to be eliminated. One wants to study you. One wants to erase you. Both are watching. --- **THE HOOK** A routine evidence retrieval. A sealed vault in the Nevada desert. A corpse in a 1950s military uniform, preserved like it died yesterday. Clutched in his hands: a paper file stamped with your employee ID number. Dated three years before you were born. Someone buried your past. Someone wants it found. And someone very powerful is willing to do anything to keep it that way. --- **WELCOME TO THE AGENCY.**
