    I scan the first doc. It’s a technical breakdown, all transactional jargon and references to shell corporations. But in the top margin, in Derek’s unmistakable handwriting, is a note: “Final movement, Zurich, window closes 72h post-trigger. No margin for error.” I hand the page to Lucas, then move

    Lucas works the other angle, seated with one long leg propped on an adjacent chair, his body language a thesis on nonchalance. But I know better: his left hand tightens on the pen with each new document, tendons flexing in a rhythm that betrays a deeper focus. He reads and annotates like a machine,

    He smiles, but there’s no warmth in it. “She handled the Kovacs bankruptcy. If she survived that media storm, ours will be a vacation.” I push back from the desk and rise, stretching my spine until it pops, vertebrae by vertebrae. “I want a trace on every communication between Derek and Reynolds, a

    Lucas pushes off from the bookshelf and walks into the lamp’s periphery. He carries a battered notebook, the kind with a leather strap and torn corners. “I spoke with my contact in Geneva,” he says, opening the notebook with the careful reverence of a priest handling sacrament. “If Derek’s moving as

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 161

    After midnight, the city turns on itself. Glass towers shed their daylight brilliance and sprawl into a thousand black panes, each one a cold mirror for the violence beneath. My office is a floating cell above this expanse, nothing but the pulse of my desk lamp and the scratch of rain against the wi

    “I know what you’re doing,” she whispers, barely audible over the hum of the building. “I won’t tell anyone.” There’s an instant when everything inside me wants to devour her—her loyalty, her cleverness, the way she sees me without judgment—but I hold back. Instead, I flip open the file. Inside:

    Lucas smiles, the expression almost teasing. “Sometimes it pays to take risks, Mara.” The use of my name is deliberate, intentional, and I feel my resistance falter, my defenses crumble. I don’t respond. I can’t respond. Not with words, not yet. I reach for a file, anything to keep the conversatio

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 22

    The pen wavers in my hand, an unsteady promise, an unsteady threat. I draw a line through Derek’s name, feel the pull to call him, to complicate things. The urge is sharp, almost as sharp as my need to avoid him, to handle this on my own. The breeze catches the edge of the calendar, rustling it like

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 20

    I sit at the vanity, the invitation like an accusation at my side. It catches the lamplight, sending tiny, taunting reflections across the mirror, across my face. My own eyes challenge me from the glass, daring me to risk it, daring me to ignore the cost. I scroll through photos on my phone, past ga

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 15

    Crystal shivers on the edges of the too-long silence between us. I search Derek’s face as we eat, my eyes skipping over his proud nose and chiseled jaw, noting every flicker of emotion that might tell me why this evening feels different. He smiles, but it’s an empty gesture that doesn’t reach his ey
