Jamie walked the gravel road to the Square, a messenger three steps in front of him. He had been too enraged to speak to the spirit in his ears since the incident that morning. Now, the labor of walking was bringing his anger back into line.

|I think it's time we dropped this crap about you being some kind of Indian spirit. You're an alien intelligence that lives inside people like some kind of virus, and Peter infected me with you.|

Fair enough. But had he not, you would be dying or dead by now. Instead you have the musculature of a man half your age, your cuts and scrapes heal in minutes, your teeth will never wear or decay, and if I can work out the causes of aging, you may live yet for thousands of years.

|I should be grateful. Forgive me if I'm not.|

I do not need your gratitude. I need only your cooperation.

|You have yet to tell me what you're trying to do.|

For now, I am simply looking out for threats to my own freedom, so that I can neutralize them when I find them.

|I doubt there's much I can do to help you with that.|

On the contrary. You are the perfect disguise.
