Cole and Kyle arrived exactly nine minutes after I did. I wasn’t surprised. The moment I told Cole we were moving against Patrick, he would’ve dragged Kyle here if he had to.

I looked at both of them. “We begin now.”
Kyle straightened immediately. Cole’s gaze sharpened.
“You,” I said, looking at Kyle, “are going to tighten border patrol against North Ridge.”
