People are calling it ‘weird vines.’ One genius thought it was an art piece.”[/color] He snorted. [color=gold]“Not for long.”[/color]

He looked up at Aria. [color=gold]“I’ll follow the digital breadcrumbs. You pull traffic cameras, security feeds, floor plans. We compare notes and pin it down.”[/color]
