"Then we're in witness protection forever. New names. New faces. Always looking over our shoulders. Never knowing if he found us. Is that the life you want for Emma?" "Better than Emma dead." "Shaw will always find us. People with his resources always do. Money buys information. Buys people. Buys access to databases and witness protection records." I turned to Agent Park. "Tell him I'm right. Tell him witness protection isn't perfect." Agent Park hesitated. "Witness protection is very secure. But nothing is one hundred percent guaranteed. There have been breaches.
