Chapter 27 - the silent language
While Silas mobilized his elite strike team to hunt down the European syndicate, Harper faced a completely different, deeply personal challenge. The total blackout had severed the secure communication lines to their private luxury penthouse.

Harper didn't rush forward or shine the light in her eyes. She placed the flashlight on the table, illuminating her own face and hands. With breathtaking, cinematic grace, Harper began to sign, speaking the beautiful, silent language.
