CHAPTER 15

As I thought about the best strategy for finding the Necromancer, I looked over at Amari, sitting on the bed, eagerness in her eyes as she stared at me. If I asked her to serve as bait for the next attempt to get her, she would do it.

But I didn’t want to. She had been through enough. I would rather give up a chance at a lead than put her in danger. But, then again, maybe there was a different way.

“David,” I said as I turned toward him and crossed my arms, “once we get the tracker out, do you think you might be able to use the tracker and the tablet those bandits were using to reverse the signal and find where it’s going?”

David tapped his foot. “Maybe. I’ll have to see the tracker first, but that might be a possibility.”

“Let’s get that tracker out of Amari, and then go from there.”

“Fine with me,” Amari said. “The sooner I can put these people behind me, the better.”

Rose stood up from her chair and approached Amari. “Can you lie on your stomach for me, please?”

Amari situated herself on the cot so that the back of her neck was exposed.

Rose retrieved a pair of rubber gloves from a desk drawer. “Do you want me to numb it? It’s not too deep, but it could sting.”

“No, it can’t be that bad,” Amari said, turning her head to face us. “Save it for someone who will need it more than I will. Besides, it will heal soon after you take it out anyway.”

Rose snapped on the gloves. “Very well.”

She plucked an alcohol wipe off a metal cart against the wall, opened the package, and rubbed the area around the base of Amari’s neck. When she finished, she pulled out a scalpel from a tray in the cart and cleaned it with a fresh wipe.

Amari grimaced, but then closed her eyes shut and took a deep breath.

Rose pulled her stool up next to Amari and bent over her neck. Pressing the blade against her skin, she gently and slowly pulled the skin open.

Amari clenched the sides of the cot, though she didn’t make any noise.

With a small tweezers, Rose reached into the incision and extracted a small oval-shaped device, and then dropped it onto a tray on a small rolling table.

She wiped down the open incision and applied a bandage. It wouldn’t be necessary after just a few minutes, but she was a doctor and had her habits. Who was I to tell her that it was a waste of time?

“Okay, you should be good,” Rose said as she stood.

Amari blinked a few times, and then sat up, being careful with how she moved her head. She rubbed the area near where she had been cut as she gazed over at the small device. “That thing was in my neck? Weird.”

Rose pinched the device between her thumb and forefinger and cleaned it with alcohol before handing it to David.

“Hmm, an interesting contraption.” Using another clean pair of tweezers, he held the device up to his eyes and examined it more closely.
