âWhere is the encryption key, Noah?!â Travis shouted, slamming a steel pipe against the concrete floor. âThe suitcase was empty! Your pregnant wife is running around BWI with FBI agents, and my offshore accounts are frozen!â
Noah wiped blood from his lip, letting out a weak, defiant laugh. âYouâll never get it, Travis. You lost the moment she grabbed that bag.â
