EMBER’S POV “Unless a few council members tattled to Harrison over the years, and Gale got wind of it. Then Gale told him.” He shakes his head. “It’s possible. Gale and Logan were close. But still — the things Logan implied he knew… those aren’t things that should have made it outside that room.” I freeze inside. Because I remember Logan’s break into the penthouse. Tearing through Knox’s office. Searching for something — a flash drive, Nathaniel had said. And suddenly I’m wondering if it’s all connected. The break-in, the secrets, whatever Logan knows that Knox doesn’t. “Is there anything else that happened that night?” I ask slowly, carefully, trying to keep my voice neutral even as my heart pounds. “Anything that could be… damning? Something someone might want to use against you?”
