Blice stirs awake and reaches out for Isidore, but his friend isn't there. He sits up and looks frantically around the room. "Niko?"

"He's not here." Damien says, already awake and typing at his computer.

"Where did he go?"

"Hell if I know. He wasn't here when I woke up. He was in bed with you. I thought you would have noticed if he left in the middle of the night. Why was he in bed with you in the first place?"

"He has nightmares and gets scared." Blice says with a smile. "I was sleeping on the floor, but he asked me to hold him."

"Maybe you aren't as heartless as I first thought."

The door opens and Blice jumps up to greet Isidore, but his hopes are dashed when Byron enters the room. "Hello, Byron."

"Blice? What the hell are you doing here?"

"I got exiled from Paradise by my father."

"Where's Isidore?" Byron asks as he tosses his bag down and kicks off his boots.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out."

Damien stands and stretches. "You can use my computer."

"Thank you." Blice says.

Damien starts making coffee as Blice works. "So, what are you doing?"

"Trying to find Isidore. I thought we discussed this already. His tracking device is bugging up." The quiet beeping comes from under the blankets on the bed Isidore and Blice had been sleeping in. "His watch is on the bed, isn't it?"

Byron pulls the blankets back. "Yep." He tosses it to Blice.

"I knew I should have installed that internal tracker on him."

"You really aren't good with computers, are you?" Byron asks.

"Call me an extreme specialist."

"What's more specific than T.I.M.E.s?"

"Just Isidore. I don't know about other computers or other T.I.M.E.s. I only know about him. I make mistakes sometimes when I try to think of him as just another computer. He's tricky."

There's a knock at the door and someone pushes it open. An authoritative-looking man with slicked back grey hair and steel grey eyes enters the room in a wheelchair and holds out his arms. "Partner."

"Seth!" Damien goes to him and hugs him. "What are you doing here?"

"Tell me you've heard the reports. Step outside and listen." Seth looks at Blice and chuckles. "Blice McSage . . . it's been a long time. I hope you don't value your life too highly. The Rubble Rebels will love making you suffer. Your name is already circulating around the city as being involved in this."

Blice steps forward and looks out the window as gunfire rings out in the city. "What is going on?"

"Two spies were captured and from the sound of it, were just executed." Seth says. "They are blaming the Inquisition."

"I have to get out of here." Blice opens the door and gasps when he is met by a group of Rubble Rebels. They must have been waiting on him.

"Well, look who it is, men. Grab him."

Before Blice can turn to run, the Rubble Rebels are on him, taking his arms and dragging him across the street to the headquarters. "Damien! Help me." Blice calls out to him, but he knows that Damien would rather watch him die.
