Da Vinci

Quicksilver was still driving, even though they'd been on the road nearly nine hours. Her curiosity got the better of her when Dex mentioned his message to Gene. "Really? What was in the file?"

"Circumstantial stuff, traffic cams, local security footage, even some random social media clips." Dex was sitting in the van's passenger seat; he had swiveled it so that he was facing backward. "Nothing concrete, but it points out a few lies that Kendal told."

"Couldn't help yourself?" Darsi removed her sunglasses, stretching slightly to relieve the soreness that came from sitting too long.

Dex smiled at the question. "He was a smug bastard. He made sure my defenses were stripped bare and then had the balls to come at me."

Quicksilver didn't comment; she knew plenty of people like Kendal. Kenji's talent was average among hackers. "Thanks for coming with me. I would have worried if you stayed behind."

"I had the feeling things wouldn't turn out well for me if I stayed."
