Chapter 25 Unraveled Threads

• The dawn crept on the city of Miami with a deceiving serenity as long shadows stretched across the city, as if reaching into Lisa's heart. The evidence they had collected in the warehouse had set up what was to follow, but by morning, Lisa found herself struggling with both the revelations and the precariousness of their situation.
• Lisa, Mark, and Kenneth all finally came together, again at Lisa's apartment, their faces reflecting the result of exhaustion and tension built up over the last few days. Sanchez had arranged a secure location to analyze the evidence, but for now, they just needed to get together and plan the next steps.
• As Lisa sifted through the documents and recordings, she felt Kenneth's presence more acutely than ever. The way he looked at her, the way he moved-everything seemed to carry an undercurrent of unspoken emotion. Both soothing and enraging, it was a reminder of unbroken tension between them.
