Circuits.

A small digital screen.

The display requested an authorization code.

“What do you need?” Wynn asked.

“Six digits.”

“Can you bypass it?”

“Not before the fans activate.”

“Try significant dates.”

Ghost looked at the screen.

“Minser used dates for access codes.”

“Which dates?”

“Missions. Deaths. Events he considered important.”

“What happened at the observation post?” Wynn asked.

“October seventeenth.”

“What year?”

“Eight years ago.”

Hawk entered the six-digit date.

ACCESS DENIED.

“Melissa’s death?” Wynn asked.

Ghost’s face closed.

“February ninth.”

Hawk entered the date.

ACCESS DENIED.

“What about Lucas’s divorce?” Boone asked.

Silence fell.

I looked toward him.

He lifted both hands.

“Minser destroyed their marriage. He might consider it important.”

Wynn’s eyes found mine.

The day our divorce became final.
