You stop yourself.

Eleven years of intelligence work taught you one thing above all: the clue that presents itself is the clue someone wants you to find.

The camera was placed by a professional. Professionals do not leave Bluetooth traces with personal network names attached. A network named "Ida_H_5G" is a breadcrumb, not a mistake. Someone wants you to walk into a café on Istedgade and confront a woman named Ida Hartmann.

You close the network scanner and think about why.

The answer comes in under a minute: you are being moved. Like a piece on a board. Toward a specific square.

You check the metadata on the photo itself instead — the JPEG header. Buried in the EXIF data, beneath the camera model and aperture settings, is a GPS coordinate. Not the coordinate of your bedroom. A different location entirely.

Frihavnen. The free harbour, north of the city centre. A warehouse district, largely decommissioned, currently under redevelopment.

It is a location, not a name. Someone is inviting you somewhere directly.

That is either more honest — or far more dangerous.
