Sniper placed his coffee in the cup holder.

“Problem?”

“Fathom lost the feed.”

“Accidentally?”

“Fathom doesn’t do anything accidentally.”

Rook started the engine.

“We’re leaving.”

His phone vibrated before he could shift into reverse.

Unknown number.

Three words appeared on the screen.

THEY FOUND YOU.

His pulse accelerated.

Sniper read the message.

“Her?”

“Has to be.”

A second message appeared.

BOMB UNDER TRUCK.

Everything inside Rook turned cold.

He looked toward the diner.

If the truck exploded here, people inside could die.

“Caleb.”

Sniper already had his hand on the door.

The phone vibrated a third time.

DO NOT START THE ENGINE.

Rook looked down.

The engine was already running.

“Out!” he shouted. “Move away from the diner!”

Both doors flew open.

Rook launched himself into the rain.

Sniper hit the pavement on the opposite side.
