Sean looks at the six men surrounding him.

Kane answers.

“The way we always do.”

The men begin moving.

Taylor transfers the depot plans.

Holt contacts the bomb squad.

Trent calls the pilot.

Arthur retrieves our equipment.

Will stays beside Sage.

Frank tries to rise from the stretcher.

Sean stops him.

“You’re going to the hospital.”

“I’m going to Pueblo.”

“You can barely stand.”

“I know the station.”

“You can explain the layout from here.”

“I know Sally.”

“So does Navarro. That is why you stay.”

Frank grabs Sean’s shirt.

“If you leave me here and she dies⁠—”

“She won’t.”

“You can’t promise that.”

Sean looks at Sage.

Then at me.

“Yes, I can.”

He removes Frank’s hand.

“We’re bringing her back.”

Sage slips her hand into mine.

Sean takes the brass key from the table.

He looks at both of us.
