FULL PART: For the first time in twenty-one years of business, Everett Shaw sat alone in his office and felt ashamed of the silence

He saw Naomi on the floor beside him, terrified and focused, ordering billionaires to call 911 like they were children who had forgotten how to be useful.

He heard her voice.

He barely asked anyone anything unless the answer could make him money.
