Ryan frowned when he heard a faint noise, his hand on his pistol as he tracked it to a darkened lab. He paused when he found Connor; the young man had looked up at his entry, rubbing at his tear-stained cheeks.
“Con?”
“It's all my fault.” Connor's voice was raspy. “Last weekend. We were supposed to have a Gerry Anderson marathon but I...” He shook his head. “I was too busy and I made them curious. Tom would still be alive but for me.”
“That's not true, Con.” Ryan could only hope Connor believed him. They - he - couldn't lose him.
