Chapter 6 - THE MEMORY THAT SAVED THEMPrice survived.
He was arrested.
The conspiracy began unraveling.
But the evidence still wasn't enough.
Nora had to remember.
She returned to the old training center.
Ranger stayed beside her.
The familiar sounds triggered more memories.
Metal doors.
Boots.
A radio.
A red scarf.
Then—
A woman.
Not Price.
Someone else.
Nora froze.
“Marcus.”
He turned.
“What?”
“The woman in the warehouse.”
“What woman?”
“She was with Price.”
Holloway came closer.
“Who?”
Nora closed her eyes.
“Colonel Vale's wife.”
Silence.
She had been the financial organizer.
The real mastermind.
Vale had taken orders from her.
She had used military contractors to move weapons and launder money.
After Vale died, she continued the operation.
Her name was Evelyn Vale.
And she was still free.
Evelyn contacted Nora directly.
A message.
COME ALONE.
Nora did not.
She told Holloway.
They planned a controlled meeting.
Ranger stayed outside.
Evelyn appeared in a gray coat.
“You've ruined everything.”
Nora smiled.
“You did that yourself.”
“You don't understand what you found.”
“I understand enough.”
Evelyn looked toward Ranger.
“That dog cost me millions.”
Nora stepped closer.
“He saved lives.”
“He destroyed mine.”
“No.”
Nora's voice hardened.
“You destroyed yours.”
Evelyn pulled a gun.
Ranger barked.
Mason fired.
Evelyn dropped.
The evidence was secured.
The network ended.
But the biggest surprise came afterward.
Holloway asked Nora to return to service.
She refused.
“I don't want the uniform.”
He nodded.
“I understand.”
“But…”

She looked at Ranger.
“I'd like to work with him.”
