"Rick Dicker just called in," Helen says with concern. The laundry basket is forgotten somewhere in the hall leading to the master bedroom. On the other end, Dash peeks from a corner with wide eyes, sensing the familiar urgency from his mother.

"There's been a security breach at the New Urbem Prison. A big one." Helen shuffles through their closet and yanks out their suits, tossing Bob's onto the foot of the bed.
