As I slipped into the tiny lobby area, I halted briefly, eyes closed, listening to the quality of silence around me. After a moment, I turned away from the external door. I knew the security patrols had the area immediately surrounding the compound covered during the night, and they had all the equipment to do so. Going out there was foolish when we hadn’t spotted anything amiss in our previous surveillance. Whatever was going on here, it was happening inside. I remembered the gun cases I’d seen as they’d brought me out of confinement, could calculate from the height and depth of them just how many there had been. A lot. Too many to be easily explained, that was for sure. So, what was Bane up to that he needed to stockpile armaments? And was that why Thomas Witney had been silenced? I gave myself a mental shake. That’s not why you’re here, Fox! I thought of the dossier Chris Sagar had put together from his time on the inside of Fourth Day, about their methods and their ideology.
