Peter had given up on trying to keep his legs still. The power was fading on his laptop; the low battery alert flashed steadily, and he’d forgotten to bring a car charger. He was staring at the screen, trying to interpret what was happening in Phoenix.

Suddenly, the computer shut down.

He stared at the blank screen for a few seconds, then slammed the laptop closed.

According to the clock on his dashboard, it was 3:20 a.m. The raid had started nearly a half hour earlier. Noa and her team should be back at their safe house by now, but he hadn’t heard anything. And he should’ve. Noa always posted an encoded message in their chat room after a successful mission, letting him know that everything had gone off without a hitch.

And now that his computer was dead, he had no way of checking.

Peter rubbed his eyes; they felt sore and gritty. He was supposed to meet Amanda for breakfast in five hours. He planned on finally sharing his fears about her condition, and he’d prefer to be relatively well rested for that conversation. But even though he was exhausted, he doubted he’d be able to sleep tonight. Worry chewed at him; the sense of impotence had never hit him more strongly.

Peter tapped his finger on the top of the laptop, considering. Maybe he could risk checking in from home. He’d take every precaution, routing through VPNs to hide his IP address. And he wouldn’t log on for long, just check once an hour until he received confirmation that Noa was okay.

It’ll be fine, he told himself. It was unlikely that Pike & Dolan were monitoring his internet usage in the middle of the night anyway.

Peter turned on the ignition and rolled back down the driveway. He’d send Amanda a text asking to meet for lunch instead. Delaying it a few hours couldn’t possibly make a difference, right?
