It was a brief lull in the conversation when he heard the knock, and Tom was immediately on his guard. He had taken a risk with that post, allowing the whole imPort community see his face and hear his name.

He doens't even beat about the bush; there's no point. He needs to know more and know it quickly. There are lives at risk. He has to do this with care, but with speed, too.
