Everything I care about—

Right in the line of fire.

And now I know what we’re up against.

A ghost unit.

Off-books.

No rules.

No limits.

No conscience.

Perfect.

I look back at the agent.

“You said they don’t have oversight,” I say.

“That’s right.”

“Good.”

His brow furrows.

“Why is that good?”

I meet his gaze.

Let him see it.

The decision.

The shift.

The war.

“Because neither do we.”

Silence.

Then—

Briggs lets out a low, satisfied breath.

“About time.”

The agent studies me.

Long.

Hard.

Like he’s finally understanding what this is.

What I am.
