Brack gave Spencer a quick glance, "I've heard there's something fishy about Ben."
Dr. Ray's brow furrowed slightly at this. "So, Brack, have you sent someone to nab him?"
"Do you think I'd be dumb enough to spook him?" Brack chuckled softly. "A senior researcher who's been with the institute for seven or eight years? You think he's got no one backing him?"
"So what's your move now?" Dr. Ray asked, turning to him.
Brack settled into the couch, "Has he shown up at the institute yet?"
"I'll find out." Dr. Ray walked over to make a call on the direct line.
Brack nodded in response.
Swanson, observing from the sidelines, thought for a moment before sitting across from Brack. "Brack, with these new developments, shouldn't we let Adler go?"
Brack's eyelids twitched a bit. "Why rush? We haven't caught Nick yet, and there's still a lot to verify."
"Honestly, Nick's out of the country right now," Swanson repeated what he'd told Spencer earlier. "I can't spill the beans about the international project—it's top secret."
"How convenient, leaving right now?" Brack was never one to buy into coincidences.
Swanson offered a calm smile and handed Brack a paper from his document bag. "Here's a travel log. You can check it in the system."
