Nia cracked the Bellamy hard drive in thirty-seven minutes.
She claimed it took that long because Richard Bellamy had used "the most emotionally insecure encryption structure in finance," which, according to her, meant expensive software, bad passwords, and a private folder labeled Tax Reference that no honest person would ever name that way. We were back inside Apex Tower by then, sealed in one of the smaller operations rooms below the executive floor. Marianne was upstairs with Claire, waiting for confirmation that her children had reached the safe house. Richard was in a secure legal room with Evelyn Cross, which was probably worse for him than any basement I could have put him in.
