Rain began to fall as Daniel's car glided down the highway toward the city center.
Tiny droplets hit the windshield, creating a rhythmic sound that was strangely soothing.
But the atmosphere inside the car was anything but calm.
Everyone was still thinking about the single sentence Daniel had just spoken.
Marcus Sterling had been arrested.
And even more strangely.
the arrest was carried out using evidence sent by Richard Blackwood himself.
Victor Hale finally broke the silence.
"I don't understand."
He looked at Daniel from the back seat.
"Why would Richard Blackwood turn Marcus in?"
Leonard Graves leaned back casually in his seat.
"Because Marcus is no longer useful."
Victor shook his head.
"It can't be that simple."
Daniel spoke softly,
"Marcus is one of the most influential people in the Helix network."
He glanced at Ethan.
"Taking him down means shaking the entire organization."
Leonard smiled slightly.
"Exactly."
Victor looked confused.
