CHAPTER 13

Tremain’s head was pounding.

“Explain to me again how he was able to leave the facility with the girl?” he asked Agent Abernathy, whose face looked like twenty miles of bad road after his run-in with the boy. Tremain was certain now that Tom was manifesting the personality of the sleeper assassin, Tyler Garrett.

“We’re not sure how exactly, but it was as if he was always one step ahead of us,” the man explained.

They were on their way to the holding cells in the subbasement, where Tremain planned to have a long talk with Victoria Lovett. Whatever the woman had done, it had thrown his entire operation into chaos, and he wanted to give a little bit back to her.

“Not sure how he pulled it off ?” he asked, his voice sharp with aggravation. “I’ll tell you how he pulled it off—he knows exactly how we operate. He’s been here for more than two weeks, watching our every move and committing them to memory. He knew we’d do one thing, and he did the other.”

Abernathy remained quiet, which was smart. Tremain had heard all about how the agent had attempted to use unauthorized lethal force to stop the boy.

Fat lot of good it did him.

“Anything new on the computer systems?” Tremain asked as they reached the guard stationed just outside the block of holding cells.

“We think we have the bug isolated, and we’ll be able to retrieve most of the data soon.”

Tremain handed his gun over to the guard for safe-keeping. He wasn’t taking any chances with this woman.

“I’m going in alone,” he said, and then turned back to Abernathy. “If you hear anything about our wayward souls, let me know immediately.”

The agent nodded, the dark purple bruises beneath his eyes making him look very much like a raccoon. He seemed about to say something else.

“What is it, Agent?” Tremain asked, trying to keep the impatience from his voice.

“I just want to say how sorry I am that this situation has—”

Tremain stopped him with a hand gesture. “That’s enough,” he said, proceeding through the door that had been unlocked by the guard. “Let’s concentrate on preventing him from making us look like jackasses again.”
