The vehicles had stopped moving. Victor frowned. “Why did they stop?” Nobody answered immediately. Then one of the camera feeds flickered. Static cracked across the screen. Daniel’s expression changed instantly. “That’s not good.” The feed went black. Then another. And another. Until only one monitor remained active. The front gate camera.
