“It is if someone opened the door for them.”
His gaze sharpens.
Dangerous.
Focused.
“Who?” he asks.
I hesitate.
Just for a second.
Because saying it—
Changes everything.

Not just a leak.
Not just a mole.
A bridge.

We move fast.
Not reckless.
Not sloppy.
But fast enough that if they’re still tracking us—
They’ll have to work for it.
Mila keeps pace beside me.
No hesitation.
No complaints.
No questions.
That’s what bothers me.
She always has questions.
