She woke up on a surprisingly soft surface, and every cell in her body was alight with pain. She couldn’t do anything besides breathe, let alone move the muscles responsible for opening her eyes to see where she was. Where am I? Three short words echoing through her mind, weaving in and out of the havoc of her tortured senses. Thinking was hard when there was this much pain, and it had been so long since she remembered that fact—too long. She’d promised herself she would remember this pain after what happened with Victor and Lizzie.

Victor.

Lizzie.

Leo 17.

Everything came rushing back to her at once, and the memory slapped her so hard that it gave her the jolt she needed to push open her eyes. Her pupils shrank as light hit them, and the ceiling slowly came into focus. It was gray and unlined, nonporous and dark. One turn of her aching neck told her the walls to her left were the same, and as she rotated her head to the right, she realized she was on a bed about two feet off the ground in small room—a cell, by the look of the heavy iron door. There was another bed against the wall opposite her, and she wasn’t surprised to see Leo 17 sitting upright, gazing at her as though he’d woken her up himself.

“Morning,” he said. “Man, you snore loud.”

Jenna tried to sit up, but a wave of nausea forced her to lay back down. “Shut up,” she spat, but it had none of the venom she felt before. She looked at her arms and legs, but they didn’t look any different in her dark blue jumpsuit; why couldn’t she move?

“If you’re wondering why you can’t move,” Leo 17 said, his tone conversational, “it’s because they zapped you with their prods about six times.”

“I only felt it once,” Jenna said weakly, but her memory was awfully hazy at the moment.

“That took you down,” the Yazulian admitted, propping his elbows on his knees and leaning forward as he addressed her. ‘Then you got up after they cuffed you and started swinging at everyone.”

“Everyone?” Jenna echoed, surprised.

“Everyone,” Leo 17 repeated. “You took the Gray Men down before they realized you’d gotten up, and the only reason you didn’t hit me again was that I was hiding under a table while you went nuts. Once you broke the cuffs off you even started swinging at the humans behind you.”

Jenna moaned, a long noise filled with all the misery she could muster. “How many people were hurt?”

“Just the Gray Men, besides me,” Leo 17 said, and he sounded impressed. The Gray Men were the highest form of policing they had, made up of anonymous soldiers from all across the galaxy who wore gray fabric masks after completing their rigorous training. “You did seem more focused on them since they were intent on taking you down. I guess anyone else struck would have been accidental, but you’ve got a wide range, so it’s surprising that you missed.
