Excerpt:
Simon
Masters opened the front door with a push of his hand and the house
shuddered. Glass trickled down from the chandelier hanging over the
foyer in a tinkling shower of shattering pieces. Plaster dust floated
in the air like snowflakes. Doctor Ilsa Blaine slid around the corner
from the kitchen, blood trickling from a cut on her forehead.
Every
cell in his body went on alert. He shut the door with a thump and
strode across the hallway, adjusting his balance for the next
shattering quake shaking the room. "What happened, Doctor?"
"The
sedatives aren't keeping her down anymore." Ilsa flinched as
another shatter echoed from the kitchen. Simon caught her arm,
steadying her. Images flashed through his mind in rapid succession,
despite his gloves and her lab coat. Her anxiety levels were too high
to keep them out. He shored up his shields and tried to sort through
the massive influx of data.
Amanda
Kincaid, also known as Rory's teammate Corkscrew, was awake. They’d
rescued her a month ago from a research facility, but Ilsa's attempts
to correct the damage done by a faulty chip in her brain continued to
fail. Winning never felt so much like losing.
"Where
are the others?"
The
house shook and a splinter appeared in the doorframe. A shout of
alarm echoed from upstairs. Simon canted his head back. Sweeping the
house, he identified five awake minds—none Boomers or Rory's
teammates. Fear seemed prevalent in the thoughts of four—but the
fifth remained apathetic. Downstairs, however, Amanda's thoughts were
a cyclone of pain, confusion, frustration, and rapidly escalating
fury.
"Rory
called in. She needed backup—” But Simon didn't hear the rest of
the explanation. Amanda's chaotic thoughts grew more agitated.
Setting Ilsa against the door frame, he gave her a quick glance.
Stay
here. If the wood splinters further, get out. He embedded the command
in her mind and dodged the falling debris in the kitchen. Since her
rescue, Corkscrew's behavior grew more and more erratic. She lashed
out, attacking anyone she didn't know and, unfortunately, even some
she did. Rory could talk her down, Rex could contain her and Drake
could take her hits—but none of those three were present. Ilsa had
made the difficult decision to put her into a medically induced coma
while her brain healed.
But
that didn't seem to be working anymore.
The
laboratory downstairs contained the latest equipment, and they’d
expanded it for Ilsa's research. The Hamptons mansion doubled as
their medical facility since Ilsa joined their quest for answers. Her
relationship with Garrett Fox and the peace she brought him aside,
she was an invaluable member. Her knowledge of neuroscience and the
workings of their bio-mechanical chips continued to provide them with
data crucial to the completion of their mission.
Saving
the future.
