The client who had been notified when Damian contacted the omega support network in the fourth city was a family named Hartwell.
Kendrick found the correspondence in forty minutes.
He set the relevant documents in front of Damian without comment. Let him read them.
The Hartwell family. Based in a different region. No designation registry filings that Sandra had found — which meant they'd been using informal channels. Buyers, in the language Reeves used in his correspondence, rather than claimants. Families who paid for identification and monitoring without ever formalizing a legal interest.
The correspondence was brief. Businesslike. A notification from Reeves to a Hartwell family contact. Subject's location confirmed. Recent behavior suggests potential departure. Recommend accelerating timeline if interested party wishes to proceed.
Damian read it twice.
"They never came," he said.
