  1. The replay Jensen had seen in Wilder’s memory buffer confirmed
  2. without question that TF29 had been penetrated by the Illuminati, and he
  3. knew how they worked. The shadowy cabal wouldn’t just have people at
  4. the highest levels, they would place their agents on the ground as well.
  5. They’ll have a traitor in the room.
  6.  
  7. He stepped out from behind the racks of black crates, holding the
  8. machine pistol on Vande. “Nobody move.”

  10. [...]

  12. I took out a team in the front carriages,” began Jensen. “They had a
  13. laser cutting rig. Odds are your friends on the other side of that hatch will
  14. have one as well.”
  15.  
  16. “My what?” Vande’s eyes narrowed. “You appear out of thin air with a
  17. weapon in our faces and you’re implying I’m in on this attack?” She
  18. grimaced. “I have shot people for lesser insults than that.”
  19. “It’s true.” Chen gave a weak nod. “I’ve seen it.”

  21. “I came here to warn you,” said Jensen. “After what happened at the
  22. airport, I uncovered a new lead… a woman called Jenna Thorne. Know the
  23. name?” He subtly activated his CASIE implant, using the aug’s built-in lie
  24. detector to monitor the two TF29 agents for any sign of recognition. The
  25. software registered nothing. “She’s Homeland Security, but that’s just a
  26. cover. My guess is she’s working for the people bankrolling the smuggling
  27. network that TF29 have been chasing. They want this hardware, and after
  28. you guys stopped them airlifting it out of Detroit… they’re taking a more
  29. proactive approach to recovering it.”
  30.  
  31. Vande risked a glance over her shoulder. “This Thorne… she’s one of
  32. them?” A thin wisp of white smoke curled from one of the lockdown
  33. clamps around the hatch, and the metal began to turn red-black with heat.
  34. “You were right. They’re burning their way in.”
  35.  
  36. “Yeah.” Jensen made a judgment call and let the Hurricane’s muzzle
  37. drop.
