"It would help us to know if we're protecting two people or three."

"Casper has GHOST to help him. Wade has other sources. Let's leave it at that."

His phone buzzed and he pulled it from his pocket. A text from a hidden number appeared on his screen.

"They sent me this about three minutes ago."

A picture populated of Wade's wife and daughter outside their home in Virginia.

His fingers rifled across the screen of his phone.

"Are they safe?"

The three dots bounced.

"I'm going to get them."

"Let GHOST get them."

He stared at his screen for a long time, his stomach tightened into a knot as he waited.

Then a response finally appeared.

"They are."

He inhaled a deep breath and pocketed his phone.

Addy watched him but before she could say anything her phone rang.

She tapped the screen then put it to her ear. "Masters."

He watched her eyes as she looked at the box before them. Then her eyes landed on his and held.

"Okay. I'm on my way back to the Bowman home."

She listened for a few seconds then responded. "Okay, send the address. I'm on my way."

She pocketed her phone, gently placed the lid on the box and tucked the entire box into her bag. "We have to go to a safe house. There was an attempt on the senator. Myles and Henry are taking him to a safe house out of town. Are you with me?"

He didn't need to think about it. "Yes." He'd be no good at the office, and now more than ever, he needed to help sift through this evidence and see just what the senator had on King, because things were getting real. "We need to get out of here. They'll come back to toss the place."

"That's what I was just going to say."

She tapped a black screen on the door in the safe room and a camera showed them the outer area of the room beyond. She tapped on the edges of the screen and pulled up differing cameras around the house. Her hand froze over the screen. "If we can figure out a way to get the images from this camera of earlier today, we can see the intruder. We can run him through a database and identify him."

"My security system at home is similar. May I?"

Addy stepped aside and he slid his forefinger along the bottom of the screen. A control ribbon appeared and he searched for the settings icon.

A couple of taps and he found the settings. Opening them up he noticed the URL for the upload, copied it, memorized it, then managed to change the upload to go to the private server he used. Pulling his cell phone from his pocket, he accessed the server and noted the upload in progress.

He then changed the pass code to the door.

Addy moved closer. "Why are you changing that?"

"If something happens and they get to the senator, they still won't be able to get in here."

"We have the evidence."
