The mercenary’s grip was like a vise. Lina was shoved between two walls of ceramic armor as they hit the stairs.

"The cops are swarming the lobby," Berg growled, his rifle slung tight against his chest. "This extraction is turning into a goat-rope, Sara."

"Let them swarm," Sara said without looking back. Her coat trailed water across the landing. "Victor owns the captain. They won't move until they’re told."

"A green light costs money. And Victor’s accounts are a graveyard."

  • Black Network   Chapter 58  Fourteen Steps

    Cody parked the sedan and killed the engine. He stepped out. His shoes got wet. Miller sat behind the desk. His face looked blue from the monitor."Fletcher," Miller said. He did not look up."Miller.""You came back. I thought you’d be drinking.""I forgot my coat.""It's raining," Miller said. He looked up. "Where's my coffee?""The place was closed.""The 24-hour place? You're lying.""Plumbing trouble. They closed.""Great. No coffee. Just sign the log."Cody picked up the pen on the chain. He wrote his name. The pen was heavy."Have a good one," Cody said."Don't count on it."Cody didn't take the elevator. He took the stairs. The concrete was cold. He stopped at the third-floor landing. He knew where the camera didn't see. He stood in the dark for a moment. He pushed the door to the fourth floor. The hall was long and the lights buzzed."Hey!"Cody stopped. Henderson was by the break room. He had a paper cup."Henderson. You're off tonight.""I left my coat.""At three in the

  • Black Network   Chapter 57  Pivot

    Dominic sat on the concrete, loading the magazine. The spring was stiff. He pressed his thumb down hard until the last brass casing slid into place. He slammed the mag into the grip. It made a solid, metallic click.The radio on the rack hissed with static. A voice came through, thin and scratchy. " Travis is gone. The freighter’s moving. The dock is empty."Dominic didn't pick up the mic. He just sat there."What does it mean?" Lina asked. She was leaning against the wall, watching him."It means Victor’s a dead man," Dominic said. "Travis isn't a martyr. He took his iron and he left.""Victor has his own men.""Men go where the money is. Tomorrow morning, when the payroll doesn't hit, they’ll stop shooting. Right now, they’ve only got what’s in their pockets."Lina pulled the hard drive from her coat and set it on the floor. It hit the cement with a dull thud. "Then let's finish it. I'm going to see Sara Palmer.""It's a trap, Lina. That warehouse is a graveyard.""If I stay here, I

  • Black Network   Chapter 56  Dead End

    Hugo threw the door open and shoved Leonard inside.Leonard’s knees gave out. He hit the edge of the wooden table and slumped into a chair. He was wearing a wet burlap sack over his head that reeked of exhaust. Before he could catch his breath, a bucket of ice water hit him square in the chest.Leonard gasped, the freezing shock slamming his heart against his ribs. Hugo ripped the sack off.The light was blinding. Leonard blinked, shivering so hard his teeth rattled. Dominic stood over him, his face half-hidden in the shadows."Dominic," Leonard wheezed. "I can explain the money. Victor had guns. I had to move the first block to protect—"Dominic didn't answer. He stepped around the table and grabbed Leonard’s left hand. He slammed the palm flat against the wood, pinning the wrist with a grip like a steel vice."I'm a banker, Dominic," Leonard pleaded. "I manage risk. I—"Dominic pulled a knife from his belt and drove it into the table. The blade hissed and bit into the wood between L

  • Black Network   Chapter 55  Eight Pages

    Lina stared at the paper. She had written a sentence about the city and its secrets, then erased it until the page was thin and grey. "You're not writing the article?" Dominic asked. He looked older in the yellow light, his skin the color of wet sand."Articles don't put people in jail," Lina said. "Names do."She started over. She wrote account numbers. She wrote routing codes. No adjectives, just the facts. She scrawled out the precinct captain’s take—ten grand every month."Ten thousand?" she asked."Every first Tuesday," Dominic said. "Like clockwork. Until the clock stopped tonight."Lina kept writing. She drew lines between the Cyprus accounts and the zoning board. She wrote the name of Blankenship’s brother-in-law. She wrote until the pencil was a stub of wood.She pushed the folder across the table. It slid over the rough grain and stopped at Dominic’s hand."Everything’s in there. The whole dirty map."Dominic didn't open it. "I know what’s in there. I lived it.""We need th

  • Black Network   Chapter 54  Concrete Box

    Dominic hauled the board back behind the altar. It was heavy. He gestured to the black void in the floor. "Go."Lina dropped in. The water was freezing, hitting her ankles with a sharp, electric shock. Dominic followed, pulling the board back over them. "Left hand on the wall," Dominic muttered. "Keep moving."The water splashed against her oversized boots, the sound echoing through the pipe—loud and hollow. "You're bleeding into the water," Lina said. "The dogs will catch the scent.""The water runs south to the harbor," Dominic’s voice drifted from the dark behind her. "Let the dogs go to the docks. We’re heading west.""To what?""A hole my grandfather dug during Prohibition. He ran booze through here to keep the lights on. I just changed the cargo."They hit a steel door. Dominic forced it open with a shriek of rusted metal. They stepped into a small, concrete box. A single yellow bulb hummed on the ceiling, casting a sickly glare over the bare walls.Lina sank to the floor. Her

    Dominic sat on the floor, teeth gritted as he pulled his bootlace tight using his good hand and his teeth. "The name," Lina said. She sat on the edge of the pew, rubbing her numb toes. "It’s in the ledger three times.""We talked about the name," Dominic grunted."We talked about what it means. We didn't talk about how to prove it." Lina looked toward the altar. "Your lawyer, Ella Khan. She built the walls, didn't she? She’s the one who knows who’s behind the alias.""Ella’s smart. She doesn't leave trails.""Everyone leaves a trail, Dominic. Even her. She’s got a backup somewhere. Likely in her firm’s vault."Dominic tucked the lace into his boot. He stood up, his arm resting in the white cotton sling. He looked shaky, but he wasn't going to fall. "Victor first. The papers can wait.""Don't forget the names," Lina said. "I’m repeating them so they don't slip. If I lose those numbers, we’ve got nothing.""You okay?""Tired. But the mechanics still work."Dominic reached down and pick

  • Black Network   Chapter 6 Subway Terror in the Surging Crowd

    The salt-wind off Pier 7 didn't cool the fire in Lina’s veins. It was a prickle at the base of her neck—the veteran journalist’s sixth sense. She wasn't alone.She stopped at a rusted kiosk, feigning interest in a sun-bleached headline. In the grime of the plexiglass reflection, she saw him. A scra

  • Black Network   Chapter 8 Cold Descent of the Rainy Night

    "Disarm the rats. Now!" Hugo Sidney’s voice boomed through the mist. "Drop the hardware or get buried where you stand!""Berg! Tell your guys to stand down!" Jasper Santiago’s voice crackled with panic. "They flanked us. They were waiting in the nests!"The pincer had closed. Not on Dominic, but on

    The curtains shivered in the night wind, a soft rustle that masked the click of the lock. Marco Moretti stepped in, bringing a cloud of stale rye and tobacco that soured the air. He kicked the deadbolt home. Thud."You’re in the wrong zip code, Marco," Lina said, her drawl scraping against the sil

    She tapped her ear. "Soph. It’s done. I'm moving.""Rossi, get out! Now!" Sophia’s voice was a frantic jagged line of panic. "I’ve got movement on the thermal—Hugo’s guys are collapsing the grid. You’ve got maybe two minutes before they seal the row.""I see the lights," Lina whispered, flattening h
