“Safe, everyone is safe.”

Good.

That’s what matters.

That’s all that matters.

But it’s not.

And that’s the problem.

I run a hand through my hair.

Pace once.

Twice.

Energy I can’t burn off.

Because I’m not there.

Blaze watches me.

“You good?”

“No.”

He nods like he expected that answer.

“Then let’s finish this.”

I look back at the warehouse.

At everything Tank died trying to expose.

“They’re escalating,” I say.

“They already have,” Wolf replies.

I nod once.

Decision locking into place.

“Then we end it faster.”
