Daniel's words hung over the situation room.
Sebastian stepped toward him. "I want the name." Daniel looked down at his device. "The record is incomplete, sir. The account was created using credentials assigned to the Vice President's administrative office, but the final approval came from another senior official."
"Then why did you say we trust this person?" Elena demanded.
"Because the credentials belong to someone who has worked with both your offices for years." "That describes half the people in this building," she replied. "I need evidence, not riddles."
Daniel nodded. "I'm trying to establish whether the credentials were used by their owner or copied by someone else."
Sebastian turned toward the door.
"And the man outside?"
"Still refusing to identify himself."
"Then keep him there."
