* * *

I’m shaken out of a restless sleep early the next morning by a fist rapping on our front door.

It’s Adena. Heavy bags hang under her eyes, as if she’d stayed up all night like I did, but a wide smile covers her face. Her hair sticks straight up, barely held back by the goggles pushed up on her head.

“Is Red awake?” she says in a breathless rush before peeking over my shoulder into the apartment. Then she blinks at me. “Hells, you look exhausted. Did you sleep at all?”

I shake my head, unwilling to explain Red’s memories. His nightmares kept me awake for most of the night, so that every time I closed my eyes, I saw the horrible images of him and his sister being held in opposite prisons, secured behind glass. Even now, I can feel the churn of it in my mind.

“I could ask the same of you,” I reply instead. “Anyway, Red’s still asleep.”

“Your mother’s in the Grid with me. I’ve been working with her on something.”

My mother? I come alert now. “What happened? What’s wrong?”

But one look at her tells me that nothing is wrong. Her eyes are so bright, so eager, that I know immediately she’s discovered something. It’s the same look she gets when she has designed something no one else has ever thought of, when she sees something that no one else can see.

“I think Red just ended our war,” she says.
