I returned to the ship empty-handed, soaking wet and pissed off, only to find Enoch and Eve sitting together cozily on Enochâs bed. Enoch stood abruptly when I entered the room. âYou didnât find him?â
I shook my head. âThe stormâs bad, but I checked everywhere I could. I found one of my clones. Let me just say itâs a weird feeling⦠looking at yourself, but knowing itâs not really you. And he took one look at me and made fast tracks in the opposite direction.â
âHas Asa been to this island?â Eve asked.
âItâs been months as far as I know, but yes.â
âWhere is Asa now?â Eve stood up and then quickly sat back down, holding the heel of her palm to her temple.
Something was still wrong. Not that her stubborn ass would admit it. âYou okay?â
âYeah. I just stood up too fast,â she laughed, trying to play it off. Her hand tech glowed, emitting a cool light across her forehead. Enoch shot me a worried glance.
She dropped her hand and slowly stood up. âEnoch, where is Asa?â she asked again.
Enoch shook his head. âHe has a home on Nassau. Thatâs where Iâd wager he is, but I canât say for certain. He, too, has a ship.â
Eve stared at me. âWhat if Abram is there? If Terah and Enoch are here, and we landed here⦠maybe our tech somehow senses our targets and pulls us toward them. Kael told us we would land directly in front of them, which was a lie, but what if it wasnât entirely untrue? Maybe we just land close to them.â
âLike an unperfected upgrade,â I answered. âIt makes sense.â
âThe whole land, strike, run, and jump thing wouldâve been impossible given the way we landed and Kael said he went back in time. If he wasnât lying he wouldâve known it and shifted our mission so that we would land, recover, find our target, strategize a way to get close, and then try to strike.â
âAnd use our upgrades to hopefully make it home,â I added.
She nodded. âKael values precision, but learns from his mistakes. He adapts.â
There it was. The haunted look she sometimes wore. Kael put it there. She was his greatest creation, but what had she given up to become it? As soon as he realized that male DNA rejected most of his upgrades, Kael left me and Abram alone. At one point, I envied her. Now, I felt damn bad for what she went through. I shouldâve spoken up for her. Iâd suspected that something was wrong a few times after she was upgraded. Some were easy for her. Others⦠clearly werenât. Sheâd be absent from training for days.
Enochâs features darkened as Eve spoke. As protective as Maru was, even he wasnât as intense as Enoch when it came to Eve. I saw glimpses of it back in thirteen forty-eight, but now that heâd found her again, there was something darker and much more profound in his eyes when he looked at Eve.
Enoch lost his people, but had found Eve again.
