She wouldn't have agreed to that. Not even for Blue.
"You think he asked Commander Berry."
Despite the disbelief in Jace's tone, he looked like he was considering it.
"Not just him," Kira said, looking down at the tablet. "Himoto knew too."
Beforehand or after. Either way, he hadn't done anything with the information for a reason. Kira was betting it was because Blue was a red herring who wasn't actually involved.
Jace sat back, looking defeated. "I can't release her just on that."
"I'm not asking you to," Kira responded, opening the rest of the files and flipping through them. "Just take a second look at everything while keeping in mind what we told you and whatever you find on Diesel's device."
If Jin was here, she could have him look into Blue's transmissions and see whether they were the leak. She didn't have his skills, though, and Odin was busy.
The smile dropped from Kira's face as she clicked on a series of video stills taken from the miners' last calls.
"See something?" Raider asked, leaning forward.
Kira didn't answer as she ignored the bearded man in the foreground and zoomed in on the familiar looking side profile.
"Pallas," she snarled, recognizing the half shaved head and the slant of his nose.
Kira exited out of the photo, stabbing her finger at the next one as she looked for a better angle.
"Show me your face," she hissed, moving on to the next when the previous proved disappointing.
Over and over until she stopped on the last photo. The only one where her brother was staring directly at the camera. The look on his face menacing.
Under his image, someone had typed The Enforcer.
"What is it?" Raider asked when Kira froze in disbelief.
This wasn't possible.
Pallas couldn't have been there. And Himoto had known nothing about the forty three’s organizational composition or the role Pallas played in their ranks.
Then how did he know what Pallas was to the forty three? Their enforcer.
Kira's blood ran icy as she remembered all the times Pallas had targeted the Curs. Always managing to stay just on this side of the line of what would infuriate Kira enough to go for his throat.
Making a decision, Kira twisted the tablet so Raider could see.
His expression turned murderous.
"What is it? Why do you two look like that?" Jace asked with a frown, snagging the tablet and pulling it in front of him. "Did you notice something I didn't?"
Neither Kira nor Raider answered, staring at each other in grim realization.
"The enforcer," Jace read. "There are a few other notes about him and a group called the forty three, but I wasn't sure what they meant."
Himoto had known about the forty three. Not just that there had been other survivors from the camp, but much more than that.
What else had he known but failed to mention to Kira?
The door opened.
"I don't remember giving permission for anyone to enter," Jace called, his scowl fading when Finn was the one to step inside.
