Adam smiled.

“You’re welcome.”

“For what?”

“Keeping Wynn alive while you destroyed half a mountain.”

“I destroyed very little of it.”

“Hawk has photographs.”

“Fabricated.”

“Roth has video.”

“Foreign propaganda.”

Adam laughed.

“The aircraft leaves tomorrow morning.”

Lucas looked at me.

“Is Wynn cleared to travel?”

“I’m standing right here.”

“I noticed.”

Adam opened the door.

“The doctor cleared both of you.”

“Ghost?” Lucas asked.

“He regained consciousness twenty minutes ago.”

Lucas sat up too quickly.

Pain crossed his face.

I moved toward him.

“Slow down.”

“I need to see him.”

“He asked for you,” Adam said. “Both of you.”

Lucas looked at me.
