TARGET CONFIRMED.
RECOVER WYNN SPENCER ALIVE.
ELIMINATE EVERYONE ELSE.
Wynn read the words over my shoulder.
The color drained from her face.
I looked into her emerald-green eyes.
“What did you uncover?”
She didn’t answer.
She didn’t have to.
The fear in her expression told me everything.
Wynn knew exactly why these men wanted her.
And whatever secret she carried, someone was willing to slaughter every innocent person around her to keep it buried.

WYNN
Lucas didn’t release me.
Not completely.
One arm remained locked around my waist while he studied the message on the dead man’s phone.
TARGET CONFIRMED.
RECOVER WYNN SPENCER ALIVE.
ELIMINATE EVERYONE ELSE.
The words blurred.
Children.
Doctors.
Aid workers.
Samir, bleeding inside the medical transport.
All of them had nearly died.
Because of me.
“Wynn.”
Lucas’s voice sounded far away.
I couldn’t stop staring at the screen.
