CHAPTER 27

Going Deeper

Jazz

I brush the dirt from my pants and scan the ground for my burlap wrap. Liam hands it to me and studies my face.

“What was that? You were talking to Arco… Did you see him?”

“Yes. He was in my channel like Vox was before. He was standing right there.” I nod a few feet in front of us where the two tall Vishan boys are now standing.

“What did he say? What’s happening up there?”

“He was gone before I could ask him. I don’t know how it happened—he looked just as surprised as I did when I saw him, so I don’t think he initiated the connection,” I add, still feeling hollow.

“They must be somewhere close to Phase Three,” Liam says, looking around the tunnel like there could possibly be an answer in the walls. “Whoa!” he suddenly shouts before quickly rushing past me. It’s then that I see Liddick on the ground, leaning against the earthen wall.

“What happened to him?” I almost shout, moving to kneel next to him, but no one seems to have an answer. A man in the same dark military fatigues as the Special Blacks kneels down next to him too, already shaking his head at me like I’m about to accuse him of something.

“He was standing right there when you went down, and then he just dropped,” he says, confused. “This happened once before, but he popped right back up.”

“Well, let’s pop him up again,” Dell adds, crossing to poke Liddick in the ribs with his boot. “Yo…wakey time, princess.”

“That’s not helping.” I glare at him, and the other man in dark fatigues starts to flick water from a canteen in Liddick’s face.

“Dell?” Liddick whispers, startling all of us. Dell raises his eyebrows at me and smirks.

“What happened? Are you sick?” I ask, returning my attention to Liddick as a panic rises in my chest.

“No…Azeris…found us.” He stands, then immediately wobbles and finds the wall to steady himself. “Whoa. Apparently, channel hops never get easier.”

“You saw Azeris? In your channel like before?” the man with him asks.

“Who’s he?” Liam asks.

“This is Finn. He’s an old friend from the Badlands. He’ll help us.” Liddick scrubs his hands over his face like he’s trying to wake up, then turns to Finn. “It was all of a sudden. No buzz like before… This time the connection came out of nowhere.”

“That’s how it was for me too just now with Arco,” I say, and Liddick’s attention darts back to me.

“You saw Hart in your channel?”

“He saw…us. It was only for a minute, and then he was gone again.”

Liddick raises his eyebrows and blows out a breath.

“All right…where was he?”

“I couldn’t tell. The last we saw them they were going to take down the port-cloud manually.”

“Take down the port-cloud now? That will cause global chaos. That’s if they can even get near it,” Finn says, his dark eyes widening so much he almost looks like he’s going to lunge at me.

“No, it’s the only way to stop the genetic testing,” Liddick says.
