“Kane was embedded in your unit to watch Miller. When Grant started asking questions, Kane began watching him too.”

“For what?”

“Do you know where he might be?”

“I don't know.”

“You just told us to find him.”

“I said you need to find him. I didn't say I knew where he was.”

Trigger leans toward Wolf.

“Can we give him back?”

“To who?”

“Anybody.”

Hampton points at him.

“I can hear you.”

“That was the idea.”
