Echo leaned back, fingers laced behind his head. "I've got something you want. Information about The Architect."
Amara's eyes narrowed. "What do you want in return?"
"A deal," Echo said, his smile growing wider. "I help you catch The Architect, and you let me walk. I get immunity, and a place in Riyanah's team."
Riyanah's eyes widened. "You're crazy if you think –"
Kwame cut her off. "Hear him out."
Echo nodded. "The Architect is bigger than The Market. They're planning something huge, and I have proof."
He slid a drive across the table. "This has everything. But you need to move fast."
Amara picked up the drive. "How do we know we can trust you?"
Echo leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Because I'm the only one who knows how deep this goes."
The room fell silent.
