The shout filled the aircraft.

Everyone went silent.

Ghost didn’t step back.

“You’re alive. So is she. That was the mission.”

“Wynn wasn’t a mission.”

“No.”

For the first time, pain entered Ghost’s voice.

“She was your weakness.”

I hit him.

My fist struck his jaw.

Ghost staggered backward.

Boone moved between us.

Adam grabbed my injured arm.

Pain exploded through my shoulder.

I barely felt it.

“She was my wife!”

“I know.”

Ghost wiped blood from his mouth.

“And Melissa was mine.”

His words stopped me.

“If I had warned her properly, if I had forced her to disappear, she might still be alive.”

The aircraft fell silent.

Wynn stepped closer.

“You said she believed you were dead.”

Ghost looked at her.

“She did.”

“For how long?”

“Two years.”

“What happened?”

“Kane found her.”
