“Sir, the elevators are disabled,” Marcus said, checking his service weapon. “We have to use the fire stairs.”

“Wait,” I said, looking at the blinking terminal.

If Elaine was panicking now, she didn’t know I had just uncovered this data.

She still thought she was my only ally.

“We can’t just run,” I said.

“Nora, they are coming to this building,” Damon said, his hand firmly gripping my shoulder.

“I need her to admit it,” I said, looking up at him. “I need her to say it on the record.”

“Why?” Damon asked.

“Because as long as she is out there, she is a threat to Leo,” I said. “And she knows exactly where he is.”

The mention of our son’s name made Damon’s entire posture stiffen.

“Where?” Damon asked.

“The old water treatment facility on the north ridge,” I said. “It has its own generator and a secure perimeter.”

“It’s abandoned,” Damon said.

“Exactly,” I said. “She thinks I trust her. I can tell her to meet me there.”

I would lead her into a trap.

I would make her confess every detail of her alliance with Apex.
