Chapter 9 - LOCKER 317 Union Station was crowded.

Too crowded.
Daniel hated it.
Ethan stayed close.
At noon, they reached locker 317.
Daniel inserted the key.
The door opened.
Inside was a small metal box.
Nothing else.
He lifted it.
A red light blinked.
Daniel's face changed.
“Drop it.”
They threw themselves backward.
The box exploded.
Not violently.
A flash.
A burst of smoke.
Then every screen in the station went black.
People screamed.
Daniel grabbed Ethan.
“Move.”
They ran.
Behind them, armed men appeared among the crowd.
But one man wasn't chasing them.
He stood beside the lockers.
Gray coat.
Scar across his throat.
The same man Ethan had described.
The dead man.
May you like
He watched them disappear.
Then smiled.
