I nodded. It was currently in my bag, inside a small, notepad-sized box that was practically indestructible and only opened using my fingerprint. I used it for my notes when I was actively tracking something down like this. “Yes.”
“Good,” he said. “Be safe.”
“I will.”
He kept watching until the elevator doors closed between us.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

THEO
The wasteland of warehouses I currently drove through didn’t look like Clarity.
Clarity Coast wasn’t a place that was filled with a lot of warehouses. The wealthy people who lived here cared too much about the aesthetics of their neighborhoods to let that happen. But they had to go somewhere, which was how an isolated, sprawling section of multi-level warehouses had cropped up on the inland east side.
And where the address of the hacker led.Aiden Fletcher, her text said. Not sure why you’d need an office in a warehouse as a hacker, but I wasn’t planning on asking him that question.
I turned down the row I needed, seeing the warehouses here were even more rundown than the ones behind me.
Yeah, there was no fucking way I would have let Trinity come here alone. There were workers here and there, but there were also quite a few places that looked creepy and abandoned. I didn’t like it. The thought of her here by herself made me more than a bit feral.

Theo
About to head inside. Feels a little cloak-and-dagger.
Trinity
Isn’t that the fun part?
Theo
I see why you’re a reporter
Trinity
The cameras weren’t subtle, but I wasn’t trying to sneak up on anyone. I entered the code he’d given Trinity and waited.
A voice with a posh Albion accent came from an invisible speaker. “Ihave to admit you’re much more masculine than I imagined for someone named Trinity.”
“Wasn’t going to let her come meet you alone. No offense.” I also wasn’t going to let him know who I was to her yet.
An amused chuckle. “None taken.”
A buzzing sound made the door open, and I stepped into a very dim, very narrow hallway that had a door at the other end and no other doors branching away.
“Why do I feel like this hallway is meant to kill people?”
