Chapter 39
Miles
“ T he surveillance network is compromised,” I confirm with a final keystroke. “You have twenty minutes.”
“Copy,” Shane says through his earpiece, ready to lead his team of three through the compound layout we studied down to the bolts.
“You’ve got eyes in the air, and I’m monitoring all CCTV.” I scan the three computers in front of me for potential threats. “Stay on this frequency.”
Days of gathering intelligence and a mock search gave us the window we needed to attempt this rescue mission. The compound has many safeguards in place that pulled me into the field to gain access from a closer distance. It was a risk that took days, but I spoofed the network undetected.

“Miles, clear to go?” Shane asks.
“Clear.”
