The first sign that something had happened appeared as a quiet red flash on a security monitor.
Inside the Wolfe Holdings security control room, the night shift officers sat surrounded by walls of glowing screens. Camera feeds from every hallway, elevator, and office floor ran continuously across the monitors.
Most nights were uneventful, but tonight was not one of them. One of the officers leaned forward slightly as a notification appeared across the central system console.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS ATTEMPT DETECTED
His fingers moved quickly across the keyboard. "Hold on," he muttered. The system immediately identified the target file.
Executive Succession Strategy—Restricted Archive
The officer frowned. Restricted executive files rarely triggered alerts unless someone with insufficient clearance attempted access. He clicked into the system log, and a location appeared instantly.
