At his funeral, Cy learns the hacker clans are now going after her secret spouse, a chief security officer from GlobeCom’s China hub who has been anonymously feeding the clans inside information to aid their cause. Without any idea the China hub’s CSO is their secret source of information, the hackers leave in the middle of the night to intercept him at the DC hub.
