Thankful that Lani finally seemed to understand the urgency of the matter, Liev followed just slightly behind. He didn’t want her to collapse when she ran out of energy. And, if she did, he wanted to be there to catch her.

The pod appeared to have been working as she held the pace steadily. He slipped past her to open a door. Inside was the rooftop elevator. With the three of them inside, he sent it to the top beside Johan’s place. Liev kept a worried eye on Lani. She was breathing hard, and her color was pale, but she still stood.

Charming looked up at him. Liev glanced away, still not able to reconcile what he’d seen and heard. A talking cat. Holy crap. He couldn’t even begin to think about the ramifications of that. If the cat talked as a result of the time-travel, Liev could just imagine what the scientists would say. And what they’d want to do to Lani’s pet.

It would be disastrous for society at large.

And this feline gave him the creeps. Those huge golden eyes seemed to see into his soul. And who was to say the cat didn’t? If it could talk, what else could it do? Liev shuddered inwardly. He really didn’t want to know.

At the rooftop, he could hear loud music at Johan’s. Should they blend into one of his constant parties or try for the private rooftop garden that, in theory, the others didn’t know about? The only problem was that the garden was damn small. It was a space he used when he needed a few moments away from everything. It would be a tight squeeze for the two of them. And he was almost looking forward to that.

His gaze caught sight of Charming.

Okay, the three of them.

But, given the sudden raised voices at Johan’s and the now silent music, Liev would take a squeeze over trouble. Lani couldn’t be seen yet. He led the way quietly around the rooftop garden to the back maintenance section. Slipping around several large vents, he stepped out onto his tiny private deck.

Lani gasped and spun around. “Oh my! You can see the whole city from here.”

He smiled. “Not quite. I do like to come up here though. It’s pretty spectacular.” Liev stood by Lani’s side. “I guess this doesn’t look like what you are used to?”

She stood, shocked, and stared out at the city. It was a replay of what she’d first seen after escaping the office. And more—so much more. Oddly shaped dome buildings that stretched out as far as she could see. Gemstone colors glowed off the sides of some walls with multiple green spots dotting the area … And the air traffic? … She shuddered at what appeared to be loads of air traffic. Her gaze flitted from one thing to another. “It’s beautiful,” she said, “but it’s so, … so … foreign-looking.”

“In what way?” Liev asked, looking at her.

“It’s surreal, like a science fiction movie set. Foreign. Alien.” She shifted Charming in her arms.
