Then the obvious thought hits.
“Wren.”
She looks up.
“The cascade is heading for Los Angeles.”
“Yes.”
“And once it reaches the infrastructure there…”
“The system activates across the West Coast.”
I nod once.
“Which means we’re not the only people who are going to notice.”
Her eyes widen slightly.
“You’re thinking about them.”
“Yes.”
Russ looks between us.
“Thinking about who?”
I pull my phone from my pocket.
“The Golden Team.”
Adam smiles slightly.
“That’s a lot of firepower.”
“Exactly.”
Wren nods immediately.
“They’re already in the region.”
Russ raises an eyebrow.
“And they’ll help us?”
I dial the number.
“They’ll help stop a national infrastructure collapse.”
The line rings twice.
Then someone answers.
“River.”
Direct.
Focused.
