“They didn’t break.”

“Neither did yours,” I said.

He nodded.

“Then we finish it.”

Sarah looked toward the evidence wall.

“We will.”

For the first time since Black Site Theta fell, Wade smiled without pain behind it.

Not a big smile.

But real.

Then a mechanical crash came from the loading area.

Everyone froze.

Sam slowly closed his eyes.

“Cobra.”

Cobra looked offended.

“I’m standing right here.”

A second crash followed.

Fathom’s voice came through the warehouse speakers.

“Minor problem.”

Sam’s eyes opened.

“What did you do?”

“Reef and I were moving the evidence cases.”

“With what?”

Silence followed.

Sam’s expression darkened.

“My forklift?”

“It may need attention.”

Sam started toward the loading bay.

“That was a brand-new engine!”

Cobra hurried after him.

“I can fix it.”
