"You killed a government officer from the Safe Zone Authority?" Ray asked the moment he stepped through the door.
"Yeah," Ethan said with a calm nod, like he'd just taken out the trash.

"Well, congrats," Ray said, throwing his hands up. "Mayor Marks is losing his damn mind. The whole Safe Zone's got a BOLO out with your names on it."
But Ethan caught the slight curl at the corner of Ray's mouth. The guy was enjoying this way too much.
"Let them put out the warrant," Ethan said, unfazed.
Still, he had to admit—he hadn't expected the government to go this hard. Which only confirmed what he'd started to suspect: the system was rotting from the inside.
"This is a government-issued warrant, Ethan. You're not even a little worried?" Ray asked, exasperated.
"What do you want me to do?" Ethan replied with a shrug.
"You can't do anything. But I can." Ray leaned in, practically bouncing with anticipation.
"Let me guess—join the Harlan family?"
