Ms. Brooks storms into the Zone A office, declares herself in charge and summons all senior officers. She accuses Zone A of taking her brother and, citing logs that tie funds to the zone, gives the team 30 minutes to find a man named Asher Brooks or they'll answer with their heads. Present are Mr. Stone and Zone A officers Noah Carter and Daniel Hayes, who scramble to trace the lead. As they check records, one officer reports his cousin may have already grabbed someone with that name. The room freezes at the news—Oh, no!—as the deadline looms.
