Derek was relieved when the sting went down as planned—a joint effort between the Company and the Feds. A Medina hit man showed up at one of the baited safe houses and was caught, much to his shock and dismay. Even if it hadn’t been a set up to find out who the mole was, Derek knew they would have anyway.The man they captured was certain he’d been ratted out by the mole and readily gave him up. It turned out to be the programmer, which as far as Derek was concerned, was a good thing. Finding out one of the controls had been the mole would definitely have hurt everyone’s morale.


Derek remained in seclusion, under Federal protection, until the trial was over. Due in great part to his testimony, both men were convicted and received stiff prison sentences.


He returned home two days before his birthday. His real one, which was not April fifteenth, the date he’d given Mel years ago, soon after they had first met.
