According to Zoren, the syndicate’s hive was located on a small island accessible only by boat or chopper. He had left a note for Mint to consider that location—it had always been their next destination once Atlas secured the code, even with the risk of not having it yet.

Mint had considered it too, especially given the direction of the aircraft carrying Penny.

But currently, they had made a detour. And if Angel was right, Penny would soon land on the same island they were headed toward.

Zoren and Atlas furrowed their brows until it hit them.

"The code," Atlas whispered, meeting Zoren’s eyes. "They’re going to claim it right away."

Zoren nodded, then turned to Angel. "Tell our pilot to hurry. We need to be there to secure their landing. Or better yet, we land on the next island before them."

"But Miss Penny—"

"She’ll figure it out," Zoren cut him off quietly. "Your boss still has control over their craft. If she keeps it until the end, she’ll land on the island we’re headed to."

Angel studied Zoren’s face before nodding in understanding. That was Zoren’s wife—he would know her best.

"We’re going to descend soon. I’ll call again in a bit, but for now, keep tracking us. I’ll explain everything later. Also, I need Mint for something. I’ll see you all late—"

Clack.

Penny ran her tongue along the inside of her cheek, slowly pulling the phone away.

"Damn it," she muttered, plugging it back into the charger and setting it aside. She slipped her headphones back on and turned her gaze toward the sky ahead.

A heavy silence settled over the cockpit. Shawn glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Despite the light tone she’d used over the call, Penny was now unnervingly quiet.

’Did she act that way just to keep everyone calm?’ he wondered, eyes forward. ’Yeah... that sounds like her.’

That was the Penny he knew. Even in complicated situations—like during that cyberhack competition—she never gave anyone a reason to worry.

Still, this silence between them felt louder than the engine.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, throwing her another glance.

Penny didn’t respond, as if deep in thought. Just when Shawn assumed she’d keep her silence, she finally spoke.

"We’re going to land on the island before our destination," she said, turning toward him. "We’ll drop the others off for medical attention. If my husband’s already there, my men can take care of them."

"But didn’t you say you’d meet them at the island?"

"I did."

"Doesn’t that mean—?"

"It means everyone else is headed to our original destination," she said evenly. "And if there’s a mole among them, then Jonathan will know I’m safe and prepare his men for our landing."

"..." Shawn gave her a look, then turned back to the windshield. ’Just how far ahead has she been thinking?’

"If Mint was able to vet the people who joined this rescue mission, then she’ll have a base set up already," Penny continued. "If not, she’d better have another plan in place in case they’re ambushed. Either way, I trust Mint. She’s already thought of it."
