He knew better.
Instead he looked at Leo.
“I don’t expect you to call me Dad.”
“I already did on the radio.”
Ethan’s face crumpled.
Leo stepped forward.
“Do you really like Triceratops?”
Ethan glanced at Maya.
She crossed her arms.
“Careful.”
He returned his attention to Leo.
“No.”
Leo gasped.
Ethan smiled.
“I have absolutely no idea what makes a Triceratops different from anything else.”
Leo stared at him.
Then grabbed his hand.
“I can teach you.”
Ethan looked down at their joined hands.
A tear slipped down his cheek.
“I’d like that.”
Maya turned away because suddenly she could not breathe.
Aaron approached.
“We found Holt’s entire relay archive.”
Maya cleared her throat.
“And?”
“Names. Accounts. Contractors. Officials. Everything.”
Celeste joined them.
“She kept records because she planned to use them as leverage.”
Aaron smiled.
“Instead, they’ll dismantle the entire network.”
Maya looked toward Holt, who was being escorted onto another aircraft.
