Avery stepped closer.
What happened to my father?
Harrison’s expression changed from anger to exhaustion.
He finally answered.
Your father discovered something he was not supposed to find.
Avery’s eyes narrowed.
What?
Harrison looked toward the soldiers.
Then back at her.
A weapons transfer.
Money moving through private contractors.
People inside the command were involved.
Michael tried to expose it.
Avery stared at him.
And you stopped him.
Harrison shook his head.
I tried to keep him alive.
Avery did not believe him.
Then why did he disappear?
Harrison lowered his voice.
Because someone higher than me ordered the entire team erased from the official record.
Avery looked stunned.
The soldiers around them remained completely silent.
The colonel everyone feared was no longer acting powerful.
He looked like a man carrying a secret he had been afraid to speak about for years.
