Her business had one rule: consent only. Then a client brought her a memory she'd never sold — and only one person could have taken it.
Memory broker Jessa Kade runs a clean operation in New Meridian — only consented neural data, no government wipe markers. A client brings her a core that contains a memory she recognizes as her own, one she never sold. The man who sourced it, Ryker Vance, already knows she's looking before she starts looking. She needs to know how he got a memory she didn't consent to release. He needs her to understand why he kept it.
