Morning comes too soon.
I'm at the consulting firm with Bella, and we were both going through client files and making sure everyone we've helped is accounted for.
Forty-seven people. These were forty-seven lives we helped rebuild.
Former enforcers who were now running legitimate businesses. Ex-money launderers working regular jobs. People who escaped the Commission and started over.
This was our life's work, through sweat and hard work.
My phone rings, and it's Elliot.
"Hey. Everything okay?"
"Katherine, you need to see this." His voice is tight and controlled. That means he's panicking internally. "Someone leaked your client list."
My blood ran cold. "What?"
"Every person you've helped escape criminal life. Their identities are online in dark web forums with their current locations."
"How many?"
"All of them. Forty-seven people, all exposed and vulnerable."
No! No, no, no.
"Diane," I whisper.
"Has to be. And Katherine... there's more."
"More?"
