Kane aimed again.

“Journalists.”

“You’re lying.”

“Prosecutors.”

“You didn’t have time.”

A single witness.

Or a single copy.

“You don’t know who works for me,” Kane said.

“That’s why I sent it to twelve.”

“You’ve started a war.”

“No. I ended your protection.”

Kane looked toward the open hangar doors.

For the first time, fear entered his face.

Not fear of prison.

Fear of becoming powerless.
