Payton breathed deeply, struggling to still his internal panic. His training kept him calm on the outside, but inside, he was boiling with anxiety.

Razor’s life was at stake. So were the lives of several others—people he had sworn to protect. But he couldn’t stand by and do nothing. He had to know the truth. He had to know if the entries in that journal were the deranged ravings of a lunatic, or solid proof that what he’d felt in his gut was true.

The Threshold Project wasn’t dead. It wasn’t buried under a mountain of top secret documents—those he hadn’t destroyed himself. The research had started again. Maybe it had a different name, and maybe they were using grown men instead of children, but the results were still the same. People were going to die, their lives would be destroyed, their families torn apart.

And what about the original subjects? The List had been destroyed, or so they’d thought, but he still remembered the names of the people he’d hurt.

He couldn’t let it happen again.

Sending Gage and Clay helped ease some of his concern. Even with Clay’s injuries, he would be an asset. Both men were deadly. Both would protect Razor with their lives. Both of them would know where to look for signs of human experimentation, since they’d both been subjected to the same thing. Neither one remembered, but the knowledge was in them, buried deep and hidden under layers of security.

Maybe something they’d see would strike a chord and they’d find whoever was doing this and stop them fast.

Then again, maybe seeing that same thing would break away some of those layers, leaving them closer to remembering the truth. If that happened, not only would his cover be blown, but chances were neither of them would live through it.

Payton considered going into hiding for one brief, cowardly moment. He had enough money to live out his life in peace. He could find a beach somewhere and be served fruity drinks by busty women until the day he died.

But if he did, what would happen to those kids? They needed him here, watching over them, keeping them safe from themselves. Keeping the world safe from them.

So far, only one of the kids on the List had turned rogue. He’d killed seven women before Payton had found him. Those seven deaths were on Payton’s head, like so many others. The only thing he could ever do to make up for all the evil he’d caused was to stay where he was, where he could do the most good, and watch over his kids.

With that in mind, the panic eased, and he lifted the phone from its cradle to call the men.
