Gonda ended the call and kept the phone in his hand.
Sweat had gathered on his forehead. He wiped it once, then realized Kundra was watching and lowered his hand as if nothing had happened.
Kundra stood near the door of the private room.
"Sir?"
Gonda looked at the phone again.
"World Zone wanted information," he said. "I gave them some."
"How much?"
"Not enough to point at Wil. Not enough to point at me." Gonda exhaled slowly. "I am not going to be the man standing between two knives with his chest open."
Kundra did not relax.
"What did they ask?"
"Routes, names, and whether Tobin has met anyone from our side. They also asked if Bruno had spoken to Rust Gate before Maren died."
Kundra's face changed.
Gonda saw it and lifted one hand. "I did not give Bruno's name. I said everyone is moving through rumors right now."
