The Hale Estate basement was quiet after Team Zero returned from Floor 10.
Elliot's body lay on the floor while Finn stood with the phone pressed against his ear. The TRB agent on the line spoke with professional efficiency.
"Challenger name for death report?"
"Elliot Graves."
"A response team will arrive within the hour for body transport. We'll handle family notification."
Finn's chest tightened while he stared at Elliot's body and thought about what that call would do to his parents.
The agent paused before continuing. "The team doesn't need to report floor details unless you choose to. TRB won't push for debrief information."
Finn understood what that meant because TRB wanted Team Zero's cooperation more than they wanted to demand answers from the team that just cleared Hell-difficulty Floor 10.
"Understood."
The call ended.
