The Last Match

Words: 3041 · Source Novel:: Ghosting

Marin orchestrates the final trap at Mistwood Cabin, broadcasting a fake HeartSync check-in to lure Leo in. Instead of Ivy, he finds Marin standing with the case file that started everything—the Curry v. McDonald transcript. She reveals that she has already wiped his cloud backups and forwarded every piece of digital evidence to the district attorney. When Leo lunges, tactical officers emerge, and Marin places the handcuffs on him herself. Weeks later, she visits Ben in Danville Correctional, sharing the news of his exoneration. The last line of her report reads: “I profiled a stranger better than I ever read the man who shared my bed—and that saved my life.”
