Cherie couldn’t stop shaking his hand, and she couldn’t stop smiling, and yet everything was shifting inside

her, like psychic tectonic plates. She could see big chunks of her life sliding about, making room, and he was

smiling, too, and still shaking her hand, and he was so incredibly damn cute, and he was Red Dog’s little

brother.

From where he stood next to the two of them, Dylan checked his watch, wanting to record for posterity the

moment he’d first seen the opening moves of the genius-level computer geeks’ mating ritual.

It was an awkward thing, with a lot of handshaking involved, and it explained why there weren’t more

genius-level computer geeks to go around. With an opener like the one he was observing, he couldn’t imagine

that they got to the reproductive stage of the game all that often.

He glanced at Gillian, who cocked an eyebrow in his direction. Yeah, she was thinking the same thing.

“Well,” he said, “with the introductions out of the way, may we continue here.”

Two people turned their heads to look at him, but curiously, they did not let go of each other’s hands.

“Hacker, I need you to take Dr. Shore to Commerce City and give him complete access to whatever it is you’ve

got in the garage as it pertains to the DREAGAR 454.”

He didn’t get any response, and for a moment he wondered if she’d been mesmerized by Dr. Shore, or if she’d

fallen back asleep behind her sunglasses.

“You mean my DREAGAR 454 hard drive?” she finally said.

Yes, he supposed that was what he meant, unless she had a DREAGAR 454 ice-cream machine, or a

DREAGAR 454 boom box she was keeping up in Commerce City.

“Yes,” he said.

“Uh…yes, sir,” she said. “I’ll be…uh, happy to do that.”

Good. He liked his people happy, even if they didn’t have any more sense than to stay out all night. He shifted

his attention to Gillian’s brother.

“Dr. Shore, while you are in Denver, you are under my command. I want that clear before this goes any

further.” If he’d been assigned to SDF, however temporarily, then he belonged to Dylan for the duration.

“Yes, sir,” Gabriel said—and he was still holding on to Cherie’s hand.

Dylan liked the kid. He liked him a lot—just not as much as Hacker, who either didn’t mind or hadn’t noticed

that she and Red Dog’s little brother were doing some kind of hand meld.

This, Dylan decided, could easily turn out to be a very long day. He had the whole thing with Zach, and the

CIA, and Albuquerque going, and no clue, really, what it was all about—a condition he wasn’t going to allow

to continue past the next few minutes. And now this whole Kendryk and the DREAGAR 454 situation had

landed in his lap.

“Gillian, make sure he has his gun before he leaves.”

Red Dog nodded. “Would you like me to go with them?”

“No,” he said. “I need you here when the team calls. You helped plan the mission. They’re going to want to

talk to you.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Hacker, how long is it going to take you to set up a secure link and download the files off Dr.
