Recruited

Eight students. Eight envelopes. One notice slipped under every door at exactly 7:43 a.m.No explanation. No signature. Just a summons to Room 114 and the words: This matter requires your immediate attention.When Mara, Sam, Jordan, Priya, Ivy, Theo, Leo, and Dani walk into that room, they are eight strangers. What they discover is that each of them sees something the others cannot — and that someone has been running a network on their campus for a very long time. A fake wellness office. A man at the fountain who watches first-year students. A security guard who radios before certain people come into his sightline.Nobody announced themselves.

To trust what you notice before you can explain why you noticed it.Eight people. Eight gifts they each spent years believing were flaws. One operation they were never supposed to find.The story starts here.
