Page 383 of Scars of Fate

“Where is home?”

The operative smiled through the blood on his teeth.

“Where Fate began.”

Roth pulled him upright.

“We’ll continue this conversation upstairs.”

Hawk examined the trail near the passage.

“Some of this blood is older.”

“From a second person?”

“At least one.”

The concealed passage had been used before the lockdown.

The operative we captured had remained with the weapon.

Someone else had escaped.

My radio crackled.

Adam’s voice.

“Elise and Camille secure.”

Relief filled me.

“Wynn?”

“She’s here.”

Her voice came through.

“I’m fine.”

I closed my eyes for half a second.

Alive.

Safe.

For now.

Wynn and Adam joined us inside the primary vault.

Elise and Camille remained with Roth’s officers in the secure corridor.

The moment Wynn saw me, her gaze swept over my body.

“You’re bleeding again.”

“It’s not mine.”

She looked toward the captured operative.
