The hand clamped over Amara's mouth was rough, but familiar. She relaxed slightly as Zara whispered, "Shh, sis. I'm good."
Amara spun, eyes blazing. "What were you thinking?"
Zara's grin was mischievous. "Got info on The Market's plan. Riyanah's in danger – they're gonna hack her tech."
Amara's head spun. "Kwame's with Riyanah. We need to move."
They burst into the hall. Kwame had The Market agent pinned. "Tell them it's over," he growled.
Riyanah stood, tech shield activated. "My innovation's safe."
The agent sneered. "Market's everywhere."
Amara stepped forward. "Not where we play."
The lights flickered. The crowd gasped. Aisha appeared, phone held high – live-streaming The Market's secrets.
The agents backed off. Chaos erupted.
Zara tugged Amara. "Time to vanish."
Kwame joined them, grinning.
