Fugitive Protocol. HASH FILES (Human Alien Species Hybrid), #2

They escaped the lab and now the protocol is to erase them. Aric and Jade are no longer prisoners of the institute, but freedom comes at a price. Hunted, exhausted, and floating adrift at sea, they cling to survival with only each other and a map that may lead to answers. But the outside world is more dangerous than the scientists who once caged them. As secrets unravel and mysterious implants awaken, Jade begins to understand that her connection to the alien technology inside her runs deeper than she ever imagined, and it's evolving.
Their only hope lies in a man named Dieter Copeland, an elusive figure with ties to the past, and to Startech, the private corporation now hunting them. But can he be trusted? With hidden powers emerging, memories from a distant world surfacing, and a mysterious warning from within, Aric and Jade must decide: hide, fight, or return to the institute to reclaim what was taken. Because the truth about who they are, and what they're becoming, could save more than just themselves.
It could save an entire planet.
