I’m already pulling the feeds.
Tracking anomalies across multiple systems at once.
And then I see it.
Assets detaching.
Not flagged.
Not reassigned.
Removed.
Gone from official channels—
only to reappear seconds later under shell routing.
Untraceable.
Unaccountable.
Weaponized.
“Black teams,” I say.
My voice is flat now.
Focused.
Locked in.
“Not law enforcement. Not military.”
I isolate one signal.
Then another.
Then three more.
“They’re contract.”
Aaron’s voice cuts through. “Coming here?”
“Yes.”
I don’t hesitate.
Because the pattern is already clear.
“And not just here.”
I throw the map onto the main screen.
It expands.
Five vectors.
Five cities.
