HALF AN HOUR LATER

On the way back to my place we get a call to go straight to the conference room. I don’t want to go but I grab onto my newfound resolve and give a nod to Clyde’s questioning look. Probably the best way to stop Shaw from tenderizing me with karate chops anyway.

The meeting is Tabitha’s show again. No laptop this time. Instead she stands at the head of the table trying to navigate a path between her desire to seem like she doesn’t give a damn and her palpable excitement.

Shaw looks up as I come in. She gives me a surprisingly soft look. Very decent of her, considering last time I saw her I was trying to murder her.

Kayla’s there too. I take a seat as far away from her as possible—opposite Shaw. I can’t look at Kayla without thinking about the rooftop. Without thinking—

We walk among you.

She is not what you think she is.

I glance at her, at Shaw, at Tabitha. And can I really trust the woman in the alleyway? What if what’s in my head is Progeny smoke and mirrors? What if they want me paranoid? Should I trust subconscious visitors, or the people in this room, or no one at all?

Tabitha swishes about, all nervous energy. And is that out of character for her? Is that a Progeny screwing up on its acting?

Jesus.

I put my head in my hands again.

“Got some news might cheer you up,” Tabitha says.

I look up. And she really is talking to me. I raise my eyebrows. Both of them.

“The Progeny,” she says. “We got them by the short and curlies.”
