Outside the window, Rome’s skyline blinked like nothing had happened—domes and towers bathed in amber, the city oblivious to the fire about to rip through its guts. Then came the final call. Alaric. My security director. My blunt instrument. I answered. “What is it?” A beat. Then his voice, tight and grim: “It’s out.” My blood went cold. “What do you mean it’s out?” “The Site Nine files, sir.
