The pub was just as I remembered Felix remembering it. Try to figure that one out. It was comfortably dim, though scratchy upbeat folk music was being piped in from somewhere above us. I stayed close to Kaitlyn as Shaina led us to the bar, where Seth and Rian sat nursing a pretty liquid in actual drinking glasses, the GDI laptop open in front of Seth.

“Howahya, Felix? The usual?” Sully asked.

“Not Felix,” I said, “but I’ll take his usual.”

Sully mumbled something low, the speed of the words made them undecipherable.

“He thinks you’re bullshitting him,” Seth said.

I moved to take the glass from Sully, but he held it, looking intently at me. “Well, who the hell are you then?” he asked.

“His big, bad brother,” I said, pulling the drink from him.

More mumbling.

I ignored him and let Kaitlyn plead her case to Rian, then told him my plan to get in. I set the warrant cards on the bar. Seth started clicking through the agents’ profiles using the stolen laptop. Neither profile claimed the agents to be deceased.

“This one seems the closest fit,” Seth said, showing the image to Shaina and Rian.

“It’s a bit of a stretch,” Shaina said.

“It could work,” Rian said.

Seth pocketed the warrant card for the agent he would impersonate. I grabbed the other and stuck it back in my jacket pocket. This plan was riding pretty heavily on the hopes that GDI stayed ignorant of their agents’ deaths. We weren’t exactly shooting for the moon, but it was a near thing, so.

“We still need blueprints, alternate entry points, unless you want to go it alone,” I said.

Seth got his tablet out.

After a few minutes he handed the tablet to me. I studied the layout of the building, black lines running across the flat-white background of the tablet’s screen. Using the information I scavenged from Felix’s memory, I found exactly what I wanted. I set the tablet on the bar so everyone could see.

“This will get us access directly to the second floor,” I said. “The shortest route to Kaitlyn’s lab.”

Kaitlyn made a noise. I looked over my shoulder at her.

“What?” I said.

“I don’t know that the samples will be in my lab on account of I ran them down to the lab archive while Felix was with Bernard.”

“How many bloody labs are in this place?” I said.

“The archive isn’t a lab,” she said. “It’s storage for lab overflow, samples, data, and such-what.” She opened her mouth to add something but decided against it.

I picked up the tablet and held it in front of her. “Where?”

She pointed at a spot near the rear left corner of the building. “You can get in there, but you’ll have to go down a few floors. It’s on a subbasement.”

“And it’s absolutely sure you are that you need these samples? I could always let Felix out so he could throw up a bit of blood for you.”

“Conor,” Rian warned.

“No. There’s too high a risk for contamination,” Kaitlyn said, answering as if it had been a serious proposal.
