“They’re baiting the hook.”
Russ grins.
“Well.”
He cracks his knuckles.
“Good news.”
Everyone looks at him.
“I like bait.”
Wren gives him a look.
“You understand this could be a trap.”
Russ smiles wider.
“Everything’s a trap.”
Adam finally looks up.
His voice is calm.
Controlled.
Decision made.

The room stills.

“Agreed.”
Wren closes her notebook.
“You’re going to play along.”
“Yeah.”
Adam looks at me.
“You’re the one they want.”
I meet his gaze.
“Then I’ll give them what they’re asking for.”
Miles smirks.
“Oh this is going to be fun.”
Wren leans back in her chair.
Not smiling.
