The words are impossible to hold, impossible to ignore. They open the air, open my thoughts, open the rawness of this. The world shifts, shifts with the truth, shifts with the unbearable reminder. I watch him, and I don’t know how to be this woman, how to be this woman with Lucas in my office, with

    I back the video up, frame by frame, hunting for a detail. There’s nothing—no badge, no tell, not even a limp or a stutter. “They were in and out in eleven minutes,” Lucas says. “Knew the path, the timing, and how long the window would hold before a sweep.”I let the video play out. The intruder exi

    For a split second, my heart actually slows. The world narrows to the width of the keyboard. I inhale, steady, then exhale through my teeth. I let the animal in me have a moment, then put her back in the box.I press the palm of my left-hand flat to the table, feel the pulse through wood, through th

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 319

    The air moves in microcurrents, shivering with each movement, each breath. I can feel Lucas behind me, silent but not still—he’s scanning, running contingency on every possible outcome. I taste the air again, and the foreign note is closer now, almost alive. It’s not fear. It’s intent.I turn back t

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 318

    Rain stalks the glass like it wants in, wind corralling every bead into rows so uniform the city beyond blurs to a smear of motion. I’m at the heart of it—forty-fifth floor, war room at midnight, monitors throwing blue arteries of light over a table knifed with files and half-drunk coffee. There are

    I return, silent, to the main office. I stand in the doorway and watch him, two meters away and yet already in a separate reality. He doesn’t look up, not right away. When he finally does, it’s with a professional, neutral expression, as if nothing in the world is amiss. “Find what you needed?” he

    Lucas doesn’t leave. He waits, patient, the way a dog might at the edge of a clearing, watching for the signal that the hunt is over. I clear my throat, tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “If you could put the audit manifests over there—” I gesture with the pen at the margin of my desk, a patch o

    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

    I let them watch my lips on the crystal glass, as if that momentary union might yield some secret they can grasp at. The water is cool on my tongue, a contrast to the dry heat that thickens the room and everything in it. It carries the faint taste of minerals, the texture smooth and sliding, an in

    It's the friction that keeps us warm in the growing heat of the room, friction between minds and egos, between all we project and all we desire. The temperature rises with the stakes, the glass walls reflecting back our ambition until it feels as if we're caught in a pressure cooker of our own maki

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 10

    I let them watch me as I unfurl into motion, as I take my time, a tigress stretching beneath a lazy sun. The documents make a soft, lethal sound as they hit the glass, echoing back to fill the silence. These papers are my arsenal, my map to the battlefield I will carve from this sterile room. I ar
