Isadora was about to leave the office when she stopped at Mara's desk.
"Have you done what I asked?" she said, coat in her hand.
"Yes, ma," Mara replied. "I secured the CCTV raw footage and put it on the server. IT checked the metadata with the analyst, and legal already has the hash. No copies left anywhere."
"Courier manifest?" Isadora asked.
"There's a mismatch at 19:12. Brandon is checking the CCTV for that block and tracing the payments."
"And the mole?"
"She confirmed the Thursday handoff and the courier's route. I told her only to confirm the plate tonight. If anything changes, I'll pull her out."
"Good. Press statements?"
"One short release ready if the staged testimony airs. The full counter with timeline and raw files is drafted, waiting for legal to sign off."
"Safe place for the staffer?"
"Done. Housing secured, counseling booked, burner phone issued, funds ready. New identity papers on standby if she wants them."
"Ethan's recording?"
