CHAPTER 18

Emily was in a fishbowl.

That was how she would have described it later, if she’d ever described it later. A big round glass tank above a metal grate, and studded all over the top with retractable needles. At eight points there were holes in the tank for pink rubber gloves, pointing inward, that Freemen could use to maneuver Emily, or hold her still.

The needles connected to some kind of hospital diagnostic machine. The machine went beep, beep, beep.

She felt certain that Erno was in such a tank too. But she hadn’t seen him since they’d arrived here, at the Goodco headquarters, on a man-made island in the middle of Lake Meer.

When the Freemen came again, she retreated into her thoughts. She didn’t have to think about them pushing, prodding, holding her with those pink gloves if she didn’t want to. Instead she plucked at the wires of her headgear and recited pi to 116 places while a hypodermic filled with a familiar pink solution extended slowly toward her neck.
