Chapter eight

Liam spent his afternoon researching. That and having a conversation with Abbie, the ghost. She was pleasant enough, mainly wanting to have a connection to the living, since it was, as she assured him, boring on the other side.

Her cute face, see through as it was, presented dimples when she grinned at him.

“Oh, sure, we can watch you all in the shower for a show, but frankly we all lack hormones, which takes all the thrill out of it pretty darn quick.”

That was a joke, of course, Liam thought. At least she chuckled at it, so he did the same if in an abstract fashion. Not that he wanted to ignore her. She was, after all, as close to a friend as he had, other than Mitchel and possibly Brenner. Given that the FBI agent was busily keeping him prisoner, away from his mother, he had to figure that she might not really count for that. Still, she wasn’t evil or anything, he was, after several months of observation fairly secure in that idea. The woman did her job, practically living it, day to day.

Even to the point of selling herself physically to several groups, in order to make certain there were intense bonds between them and the Federal Government. Having relations with at least six different men and two women, simply to draw them together.

Of interest, Liam was certain that at least half the groups doing that with her weren’t structured that way. The elves for instance regularly sent single men around to have sex with her, at least once every fifteen days. A different man each time. Nothing in their history or tales spoke of that kind of thing being part of their culture though. He hadn’t brought it up, in case Brenner had some kind of plan in that direction.

What he needed to know, over the course of the afternoon, was how good the identification he had truly was. That, it turned out, was nearly perfect. In short, it was, when he checked things online, actually there, in the computer system. He had a driver’s license that not only looked correct, but that would tell the police that he was a licensed driver, when they checked it on their mobile computers.

The rest of it matched. His passport and birth certificate were in the computers that the government used. It had taken him most of the day to get into their system. A thing that he had to find out how to do on the deep web, which was slow and cumbersome to use.

Then, after that, he had to address his life issues carefully, researching the specifics as they were presented in legal documents. That part was interesting, when he triple checked it all.

It meant that, when Agent Brenner came in, he had to resist whispering at her about how he was free of her and her kidnapping friends. It was, as far as he could tell, true.

She glanced at him when she came in, a smile, a sad and tired thing, crossing her lips.
