Aaron (Delta Five SEALS #2)

Foreword

Good.

Because this isn’t just my fight.

It’s hers.

It always was.

I tilt my head slightly.

Study him.

Memorize him.

Because if this goes the way I think it will—

he won’t get a second conversation.

“You built a system to control the world,” I say quietly.

“And now you’re standing in a room…”

My voice drops.

Dead calm.

“…with the people who are about to break it.”

Silence.

Thick.

Electric.

And for the first time—

just for a second—

I see it.

A flicker.

Not fear.

But awareness.

He understands now.

This didn’t go the way it was supposed to.

And somewhere—

deep in the system—

the clock is still ticking.
