Twenty One

Nolan ran a hand through his hair, distraught. He was in Sergio Martinez’s house, along with the other employees of Selwood Corp and a few Investigators.

Mr. Selwood was still on Ignis, and wasn’t due to arrive for a few hours yet. No matter how urgent the situation, the distance between Ignis and Prith couldn't be covered in less than 17 hours, nor could they charter flights out of Ignis. Early morning and late evening were the only two times that flights could navigate the heat of Ignis’ atmosphere.

In Mr. Selwood’s absence, all of them were quite nervous. Fortunately, the Defenders were there to keep the media out, or it would have been an even worse nightmare.

The doctor bending over Mr. Martinez’s body stood up, tucking his scanner back into its pouch. He was a short man, with white hair, black beady eyes and a lithe frame. “No foul play that I can discern,” he said. “Heart attack.”

“Did he have a history of heart disease?” The lead Investigator, Valeria Chernova asked Kaya. Ms. Chernova was a short woman, trim, with golden hair and wide blue eyes. Kaya was shaking slightly, her face pale, and her voice shook as she answered. “N...not... that I kn... know of.”

Kaya’s face was puffy and her eyes red; she had no make-up on. The alert had come early in the morning, and the Defenders had roused all of them from their respective beds and dragged them over to Mr. Martinez’s house. Nolan knew that none of them looked much better, and were all equally in shock.

“Who has the medical records of Mr. Martinez?” Ms. Chernova’s blue eyes were sharp as they turned to him.

She was not beautiful, her mouth was too large, her nose was snub, and her chin was square but her eyes were piercing and intense and Nolan swallowed. For some reason, she had singled him out for interrogation, asking him things even in the middle of questioning someone else.

“The HR Department,” he was trying to keep his voice steady.

There was something extremely frightening about being questioned by a member of the Elite. Valeria Chernova was the Head of the Enforcers, Investigators and the Defenders. Nolan would not have thought she would be involved in ground level investigations.

She gave him a cold look. “Give me a name, boy.”

He gulped. “Ms. Lynch,” he said. “Robyn Lynch, the one standing in that corner, in the green blazer.”

He shut up as Ms. Chernova’s look became even more glacial.

He stopped himself from heaving a sigh of relief as she made her way to Robyn. She had been Head of Human Resources from before his time. She was a squat woman with bulging grey eyes and wispy black hair. Despite the unprepossessing appearance, she was one of the mainstays of Selwood Corp and amongst the most popular Department Heads.

Nolan wished Mr. Selwood was there. He wasn’t prepared for this. He had thought he was equal to any crisis that might happen, but the sudden and unexplained death of
