And I know who helped them.”The room stiffened.“You can’t be serious,” Miranda said slowly.“I’m very serious. There’s a traitor, and Victor knows more than he’s admitting.”Victor slammed a hand on the table. “Watch your mouth!”Leonard didn’t flinch. “Why don’t you explain the encrypted messages on your aide’s phone?
