A faint smile played on Selene’s lips. “Your analysis is on the right track.”

“Which means I haven’t guessed everything,” Adrian noted.

“I’ve just analyzed the network traffic,” Selene explained. “A steady stream of data from QuanTech is being routed to The Lockridge Group’s headquarters. Gwyneth is constantly monitoring our progress. But there’s another, separate leak. This person doesn’t have Gwyneth’s level of clearance, so they’re siphoning off data bit by bit, like an ant moving grains of sand.”
