CHAPTER 371
"I don't owe you an explanation about who I speak to." Vivian leaned forward. "You're sitting here interrogating me because your own life is falling apart and you need someone to blame. You lost your standing. You lost your reputation. And instead of looking in the mirror, you walked into this room and decided that I'm the reason everything around you smells like failure."Brandon reached into the folder beside him and placed three documents on the table. He arranged them side by side with the slow, deliberate care of a man who had already read each one enough times to recite them from memory."This is a payment record." He pointed to the first page. "It connects you to a person who has been helping Marcus move information through different companies. This is a meeting log from a private office you visited six weeks ago. And this is the transfer confirmation that followed that meeting within forty eight hours."Vivian stared at the papers. The color in her face shifted. Not gone. Rear
CHAPTER 370
The name landed in the room like a stone dropped into still water. Logan knew it. He had seen it surface weeks ago during the investigation surrounding Vivian and Celeste. A security company that had appeared on the edges of transactions, authorization contracts, and background operations that nobody was supposed to trace. A company that had officially dissolved years ago but whose fingerprints kept showing up in places that should have been clean.Hayley saw the change in his face. She stepped closer."You've heard that name before." It was not a question."It came up during the investigation into the contract that connected to Celeste." Logan's eyes moved between Hayley and Daniel. The separate threads he had been pulling for weeks were no longer separate. They were tangling together, weaving into a shape that was larger and older and more deliberate than anything he had expected. "The same company. The same network. Different years. Different targets. But the same people standing b
CHAPTER 369
The room went quiet. Logan stood near the window with his arms at his sides, watching Daniel the way a man watches water rising against a wall, measuring how much time remains before it breaks through."Fear kept you alive." Logan's voice carried no judgment. "But it also kept the people who did this safe. Every day you stayed silent was another day they didn't have to worry about anyone finding the truth."Daniel looked up at him. Something shifted behind his eyes. The fear was still there, enormous and familiar, but beside it was something newer. The exhaustion of a man who had spent so long carrying a secret that the weight of holding it had become worse than the danger of letting it go."I have copies." Daniel swallowed hard. "The original records. Before they were changed. I copied them the night before the second employee disappeared because I could feel what was coming. I stored them in an old facility on the east side of the city. A storage unit registered under a name that no
CHAPTER 368
The plaster dust was still settling when Logan crouched beside the bullet hole in the wall. He pressed two fingers against the edge of the impact and studied the angle the way a surgeon studies an incision before deciding whether to cut deeper."Whoever took that shot had a clear line." Logan straightened up and looked toward the rooftop across the street. "From that position, at that distance, a trained shooter doesn't miss. Not by that much. Not unless missing was the entire point."Daniel was still sitting on the floor with his back against the wall and his hands pressed flat against his knees. His breathing had not returned to normal. Every inhale came in short, shallow pulls, like a man trying to drink air through a straw that was already cracked."This isn't the first time." Daniel's voice was thin and broken. "They've done this before. Three times in the last four months. Once outside my apartment. Once at a gas station on the highway. Once through the window of a motel room I
CHAPTER 367
Logan arrived faster than she expected. The door opened and he stepped into the room the way a storm enters a valley. No hesitation. No pause. Just the immediate, complete awareness of a man who had already measured every threat in the room before his second foot crossed the threshold.The nearest attacker turned toward him. Logan caught his wrist, twisted it behind his back, and stripped the weapon from his hand in a single motion that lasted less than two seconds. The man hit the floor and stayed there.The second attacker released Daniel and rushed Logan with both hands aimed at his throat. Logan sidestepped, redirected the man's momentum into the wall, and dropped him with a controlled strike that ended the fight before it properly began.The third man tried to drag Daniel through the side exit. Logan crossed the room in three steps, caught the man by his collar, and pulled him backward hard enough to separate him from Daniel entirely. The attacker turned and fought with the despe
CHAPTER 366
Hayley did not walk away.She stood on the sidewalk with the traffic moving behind her and the afternoon sun cutting between the buildings, and she watched Daniel Rowe's back as he tried to disappear into the crowd like a man who had practiced vanishing so many times it had become a reflex instead of a decision."You don't get to tell me to leave and then run." Hayley caught up with him in four steps and grabbed his arm. Her voice was low enough to stay between them but sharp enough to make the woman walking past glance sideways. "You disappeared for months. No call. No message. Nothing. I spent weeks wondering whether you were dead, and now you show up on a street corner looking like you haven't slept in a month and tell me to pretend I never saw you?"Daniel pulled his arm free. His eyes moved across the street, scanning every parked car, every window, every person standing still for too long. The fear in his body was not the kind that came from nervousness. It was the kind that had
