CHAPTER ELEVEN

At home, Jennifer usually began the day with grumbling, seven or eight cups of coffee, and dire threats against anyone who tried to interact with her for about three hours after waking up.

So far, Stephen was the only one to try to engage her in conversation first thing in the morning and emerge unscathed, and a large part of that was that he had the sense to bring her a mug and an entire coffee pot when he came to talk to her.

It was the little things.

Her first morning in the facility, Jennifer had tried very hard not to murder anyone. It had been one of the most difficult tasks she had performed in service to Bethany Anne, though she suspected that it was not the sort that would win any medals. She’d grabbed a cup of coffee, plastered a smile on her face, and glided quickly to her laboratory while pretending not to hear anyone’s greetings.

This morning, however, when the guards came through to unlock the doors, Jennifer was almost whistling, she was so happy. This was not only her last day in this godforsaken place, this was everyone’s last day. By midnight tonight, the rest of the Wechselbalg would be free, being patched up aboard the ArchAngel, and Hugo and Gerard would be dead.

“Good morning, ADAM.”

>>Good morning, Jennifer.<< There was a pause. >>You’ve never wished me good morning before.<<

Jennifer informed him, “I reserve that for special occasions. How goes your progress?” She stood up and shed the baggy blue pajamas each of the scientists were issued—ugly by any standards—and pulled on her shirt and pants.

>>As you noted last night, Hugo has increased his security. Camera footage shows thirty-six new guards both here and at the prospective pickup point for the shoes, and twenty-four new guards at the castle.<<

“Look at that, more playmates.” Jennifer grinned. “And here I was beginning to think this wasn’t going to be a challenge at all.”

>>In addition, Gerard’s phone has given us six more potential locations of facilities.<<

“How’d you get Gerard’s phone? Did you hack it?”

>>Arisha stole it.<<

“I always knew I liked her. I’ll bet he’s hopping mad about that. Anything else?”

>>Not much to report at present. I’ve begun preparations to sever the connection and establish a radio blackout between the two buildings as soon as the attack begins.<<

“Well, good luck with that, then.” Jennifer whistled as she laced up her boots. She swung a lab coat on around her shoulders, buttoned it, and stepped out into the hallway. “Now. Coffee.”

Thomas Stockton strode around the outside of the castle, his gaze fixed on the walls and sometimes taking in the hills and cliffs surrounding the place. Though it was old, the castle had been built to be defensible. It had the high ground, and the stone walls and heavy double doors into the courtyard were hardly going to be kicked down.

All in all, a good place to fight.

Their commander, Jamie, had come from meeting the big boss and gave a tiny shake of his head to indicate: this guy is really crazy.
