Rook felt something tighten in his chest.

That wasn’t the voice of the woman who had pulled three dying SEALs from a mountain.

It wasn’t the voice of the hunter who had fought beside him at the harbor.

It was the voice of a sister who missed her brother.

Fathom opened the personnel list connected to the transfer.

Most names were gone.

A single line remained beneath Wade’s identification.

TOTAL SURVIVORS RECEIVED: 4

Nobody moved.

Rook read it again.

Four survivors.

Not one.

Four.

Sarah looked at him.

“Wade wasn’t alone.”

“No.”

“Three other people survived his mission.”

“At least three.”

Fathom searched for the missing identities.

“They’ve been removed.”

The conspiracy hadn’t only hidden Wade.

It had hidden multiple survivors.

People who knew what happened.

People someone had erased instead of rescuing.

Rook looked at the word Warden.

A transfer location.

A program.

A prison.

Whatever it was, it had received four living people after Wade’s team supposedly died.

“We find Warden,” Rook said.
