Atlas was caught off guard when he spotted Nick in the living room, but he quickly approached Grady. "Grady, the security team headed to the Northside branch. They've asked to see you."

Grady's fingers paused on the wooden beads wrapped around his wrist. He looked at Atlas, squinting slightly, "The security team wants to butt in too?"

Grady rolled his neck and stood up from his chair. "Alright, let's go meet them." Atlas nodded and stepped aside.

Nick overheard their conversation and pondered for a moment before asking, "Should I come along?"

Grady raised his hand. "No need. You shouldn't show your face with the authorities around."

Nick thought about his position at the research institute and understood Grady's concern for his safety. He stayed quiet and didn't press the issue.
