Not theft.
Exposure.
Daniel stepped forward.
“Show me.”
Leo hesitated.
Then reached into his shoe.
Not pocket.
Not bag.
Hidden.
He pulled out a small object.
Wrapped in plastic.
Daniel took it.
Unwrapped slowly.
A flash drive.
No label.
No marking.
“That’s what they want,” Leo said.
Daniel understood immediately.
Data.
