Maddox walked in quickly. The moment he saw Sierra, he asked bluntly, “Do you know what Johnathan is doing?”

“What do you mean?” Sierra replied calmly.

“I just got word–he’s gone to international waters. What’s he planning?”

Since things had gotten this far, Sierra didn’t see the point in hiding it.

“White? Is he insane?” Maddox’s face filled with urgency. “He knows White is untouchable.”

“And why exactly is White untouchable?” Sierra’s eyes narrowed. “Do you know something we don’t?”

Maddox pressed his lips together. “Several departments see–him as valuable. He’s invested a lot of money in the country.”

“So what you’re saying is, as long as there’s money involved, any betrayal of conscience is fair game?”

Her voice was sharp. Maddox frowned.

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what if I told you he was targeting us?”

“That’s impossible,” Maddox said, shaking his head. “He promised-”

He stopped mid–sentence, realizing the slip. His face tensed.

Sierra wasn’t surprised–just disappointed.
