Complete story — includes the ending

After leaking state secrets to the public, government contractor Ezra Kleinfelter is on the run. A man named Honeycutt hires Sherlock and Joan to locate him. Honeycutt works for Ezra's former employers and would most likely kill him if the detectives found him. Sherlock identifies Ezra's connection with "Everyone," a group of cyber-activists, and deduces the identity of Vanessa Hiskie, an Everyone member harboring Ezra, but she is found dead in her apartment. They also find a box that he took from a bunker where he was hiding and use it to trace him. Sherlock steals a guard's phone, realizing that he is passing messages to Ezra, but Everyone traces it to the detectives and wreaks havoc on their digital lives. Sherlock finds Ezra as he tries to leave the country on a plane owned by an Everyone member. Ezra threatens to expose fourteen American spies unless they let him go. Sherlock contacts Honeycutt and convinces him to release the list of names Ezra has to the authorities so they can get the spies to safe houses. Ezra is extradited and arrested for Hiskie's murder.
