Page 389 of Scars of Fate

“Witnesses saw a black van enter minutes before the explosion.”

Minser wasn’t fleeing Geneva.

He was destroying evidence.

Or creating a distraction.

My phone rang.

Unknown number.

I answered.

Minser’s voice filled the speaker.

“You’re becoming predictable, Lucas.”

“Let Elena go.”

“Commander Roth is with you.”

It wasn’t a question.

Minser could see us.

I scanned the riverfront.

Buildings.

Windows.

Roofs.

No obvious surveillance.

“What do you want?”

“The encrypted drive and Ghost’s duplicate key.”

“You don’t have the original tag.”

“Not yet.”

Kane’s men were still bringing it west.

Minser intended to control Fate before they arrived.

“Where are you?”

“You’ve been searching for where Fate ends.”

His voice lowered.

“Perhaps you should discover where it began.”

The call disconnected.

A message appeared.
