AT A HIGHER LEVEL, now just skimming the edge of the crater, Kane discussed Grant’s message with Brigid, for she, too, was tuned into the communications via her own subdermal Commtact receiver.

“Well, any ideas, Baptiste?”

“They’re the librarians that Balam spoke of,” Brigid realized, the information coming to her as if from nowhere.

“What’s that?” Kane shouted angrily, swinging the Manta through the waters to join his flailing partner, even though he had no idea what they were going to do to get out of this mess.

“While you were off finding Clem, Balam told me about the librarians,” Brigid said. “He explained how only Annunaki are allowed access to the Ontic Library, that the librarians would never allow anyone else entry. That’s why he wouldn’t come down here himself.” Of course, Balam was telepathic, Brigid realized, and it was entirely possible that that knowing smile he had offered her in the interrogation room had been as he placed a telepathic suggestion deep in her subconscious.

Kane checked the information scrolling across his scopes, confirming that there were two of the city-block-size creatures moving in the darkness. “Librarians, huh?” he snarled. “And they couldn’t just shush us?”

“They’re more like sentries or guardians,” Brigid postulated. “I don’t think they’ll let us pass.”

As Brigid pondered the crazy situation, Grant’s voice came over the Commtact that linked them together. “Got two on my tail now, and they are closing real fast.”

Kane urged more power from the Manta’s thrusters, diving into the crater once more as he located Grant’s vehicle on his readout display. “I’m on my way,” he assured his partner.

“Kane?” Brigid snapped. “What the hell are you going to do? The Mantas are unarmed. We couldn’t fight back even if we wanted to.”

“Then we’ll run interference until Grant can get himself clear,” Kane snarled, “or I’ll play the shortest game of chicken you’ve ever seen.”

“No,” Brigid muttered. “There has to be some other way. We just need to figure out what it is.”

Kane piled on the speed, rushing faster and faster into the darkness. “Then you had better figure a whole lot faster!”
