She sprinted up a story and skidded around a corner. Cody faded, his golden shimmering body growing fainter and fainter until he disappeared. Mac stopped. She held her breath, listening.

A faint scuffle. The corridors here were dark, illuminated only by the faraway glow of fixtures mounted along other pathways. She put her back to the wall and eased toward the intersection.

The darkness seemed to help the war within her senses. She looked with one vision momentarily, heard with one set of ears. Touched with one pair of hands. She came to the right angle corner and stopped.

She crept around the juncture.

He turned as she did, and they stared face-to-face.

“McKenzie!”

Seeing him jolted her. She flung up a hand to stop him as he drew close.

She could not bear to have him within arm’s reach. Within harm’s way. She warred with herself and did not want to add casualties.

Flash. The bat, in her hand, standing over Carter’s body, a crimson wetness splashed around. Her vision or Craig’s?

The son of a bitch will never hurt anyone again. Her voice, in her head, low and snarling.

But it was Jack she thought of. Not Carter. Why did she see Carter’s body?

It couldn’t happen to him.

Not her.

She closed her eyes as visions crowded.

What did she see from within? What did she sense that Susan Craig had implanted there?

“Mac?”

She swallowed it down as if that was all it took to suppress it, and looked at him. The lines in his face deepened with concern as she answered, “I’ll be all right.”

“Let’s get out of here.”

“No.”

He had her by the hand, but her flesh was so chill and numb she could scarcely feel his touch.

“She has a program,” Mac got out. “You have to do something. She has him on disk.”

“Who?”

“Georg Bauer.”
