Emlen wiped her cheeks, took a deep breath, and walked into the command center and into chaos. People called out information, answered phones, tapped on keyboards. Emlen put two fingers in her mouth and let rip a piercing whistle, then reached out and took Ryan’s hand. The room stuttered to a standstill as they turned their attention to Em and Ryan. Then Emlen let go of his hand for a moment, and took it once more. Gasps and choked out curses rolled through the room as Connor stepped forward and saluted Ryan, fist to chest, head bowed. One by one, the rest of the crew did the same. Ryan squared his shoulders and returned the salute before he started speaking. “What we thought were security cameras in the rooms had been modified somehow. I think they were tech magicked. They became laser-type weapons that blew holes in anything they hit and tracked people as they tried to escape. Blew holes in walls and destabilized the structure. Kian wasn’t in the same room as me, so I don’t know what happened to him.”

Connor spoke up. “Kian is at the hospital. They found him, and five others, alive. Whatever hit him, one leg is missing from just above the knee, the other just below. No other major injuries. A laser type of weapon fits, because whatever hit him, it cauterized the wounds as it severed the limbs, otherwise he’d be gone too.” His voice cracked and he swallowed. “I’m so sorry, brother. What can we do for you, now?”

“Let me help,” Ryan said. “I want to do what I can, while I’m here. I want to help figure out who did this and why.”

Connor nodded, “As you wish, then. I’ve sent two men to guard each PLEA member at the hospital. Two of the injured were passing civilians outside the building. Emlen? Are you up for joining Cullen and I at the scene? I need your psychometry skill to see if we can find out anything about those devices.”

“Of course, Connor,” Emlen replied, glancing over at Cullen.

“As long as you promise to stay glued to my side the whole time,” Cullen told her.

“Not a problem,” Em said. “Have Edmund and Patrick been updated?”

“About ten minutes before you came down,” Connor replied and turned to one of the techs near him. “Let him know what Ryan told us, please.” The tech nodded and moved to his station to contact the President.

Em looked up at Ryan. “I’m going to go get my coat. I’ll be right back.”

Ryan gave her a faint smile. “Might want to put on some sturdier shoes. There was a lot of debris. Hiking boots if you’ve got them.”

“Good idea.”
