You should sit down, Bya said, concerned. We will watch for trouble.

He was right; after that encounter I felt light-headed. I kept thinking about all the questions I should have asked. I sat down on a handy piece of rubble and put my head down. “Was I a complete idiot for doing that?” I asked the Hounds.

No, Myrrdhin said immediately but didn’t elaborate.

We learned a great deal, and I do not think he was being deceptive, Bya agreed. He shook his head like a dog. Sending your friend to him is not the worst idea in the world. Doing so would get him far away, and there would be nothing to connect you.

It was true enough that if the Psimons got their hands on Josh, they’d ruthlessly strip everything from his mind, and Uncle and I would both be in trouble over it, even if technically no one was doing anything wrong.

And it was true enough that if there was any place on the face of the earth where PsiCorps couldn’t get their hands on him, it would be with the Othersiders. If Ace had just had the sense to stay with the Othersiders who had offered him escape, he’d still be free. It was frankly only due to Ace’s hubris in coming after us himself at the second Battle of the Barriers that we recaptured him. There was no surer way to go somewhere no human would find you than to go off to the Othersiders.

But I’d have to be sure that Josh would be safe with Torcion before I would even suggest it. And how in hell was Torcion going to prove that?

Well, there was only one thing I knew absolutely for sure. I was going to have to call HQ and report myself back on patrol before someone got suspicious. The storm had passed, and we should be working.

I called in. “Elite Joy to HQ. Back on patrol.”

“Roger, Elite Joy. You are clear to continue. Anything to report?”

“Acute boredom,” I lied. “Finally found an antenna to the surface or I’d probably be gibbering and sucking my toes by now.”

The radio operator laughed. “Roger that. HQ out.”
