“You want me to shoot Kestrel with aluminum-foil bullets?”

A mischievous smile snuck onto Julian’s face. “These aren’t bullets.” I poked a finger into the box to see if they were as flimsy as they looked, but Julian slid it out of reach. “I wouldn’t touch, if I were you. They’re not that sensitive, but I wouldn’t like to waste one blowing up our minds.”

“What?” I snatched my hand away. “Are they miniature bombs?”

“I call them thought grenades,” he said. “They’re not bombs, except to the unfortunate jackers who happen to be in their path.”

“They only work on jackers?”

He nodded. “They have the same technology that the butterflies do, only they emit an electromagnetic pulse that wipes the mind of any jacker caught in its wave.”

I leaned back.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “It’s just temporary and they have to be crushed to be activated.”

“Crushed?” I asked. “That doesn’t sound like a very good grenade. I mean, won’t it blow up the mind of the person crushing it?”

“Yes,” he said, leveling a stare at me. “Unless, of course, you’re a reader. Or a jacker whose mind is impenetrable to normal jacker mind fields.”

I gulped.

“The plan is for you to get close to Kestrel and use this on him,” Julian said. “It’s a weapon he wouldn’t expect, even if you’re caught. And you alone will be unaffected by it.”

“Are you sure about that?”
