“Plates?” Blaze asks.

“Pulled,” Trigger replies. “Both come back clean.”

Blaze snorts. “Of course they do.”

I step closer to the window, just enough to see the street without making it obvious.

I turn.

She’s standing straighter now.

Not shrinking.

Not hiding.

“It means they’re watching,” I say. “Waiting to see what we do.”

Her jaw tightens. “Then let them watch. Shouldn’t Daniel Reynolds be arrested?”

That gets a look from all of us.

Not surprised.

Beast gives a small nod. “That’s the right answer.”

Blaze taps a few keys. “I’m pinging nearby cams. Let’s see where they go when they leave.”

My phone buzzes.

Unknown number.

I answer anyway.
