‘She knew about Spike getting bagged by the Psych Watch the morning Jasper met him to give him the disc.

She came here looking for me.’

‘For al we know, Jasper Taurel was a set-up to weed out guys like you and Spike. I mean who’s actualy seen this evidence?’ Nate shoved a finger into Cole’s chest.

‘You knew about her yesterday, didn’t you? That’s why she bolted outside the courthouse. You should have told us who she was.’

‘I didn’t know she was Ashby Barber’s daughter until last night and I didn’t mention it, cos for some reason I didn’t 211

think you’d take it that wel. And I might remind you that without her, I’d stil be inside.’

‘It was probably a set-up,’ Rachel jumped in. ‘A way of getting us to trust her and let her stay. How much have you told her about tomorrow night?’

Cole gave Rachel the ful force of his laser-sharp attention. ‘You shouldn’t have tipped off the Wardens,’

he said.

Nate’s eyes twitched. He cocked his head towards Rachel. ‘What?’

‘Why do you think they came here?’ Cole asked.

‘Why do you think they came here?’ Cole asked.

‘You told them?’ Nate shouted at Rachel. ‘Are you insane?

That foreign geezer asked for a pregnancy permit! I was thinking I was going to have to find someone to do him in!’

Ana felt a slap of shock. It wasn’t just any old Warden who had been snooping around. Jack Dombrant had been here. Had he seen “Enkidu” written on the side of the boat?

He’d come looking for her, but what did he know about Jasper’s abduction? Was he involved?

‘Listen,’ Simone said. ‘We al need to stay focused.

Let’s not forget what we’re doing. We have a real chance of stirring up enough public outcry that they’l have to open an enquiry into the Pure test.’ Her hand moved over her large bely and stayed there. ‘I’m sorry, Cole,’ she said, ‘but she’s high risk. We need to keep her under close watch until after tomorrow night, then get her as far away from us al as possible.’

‘She’s part of this,’ Cole said firmly.

‘Be reasonable,’ Simone said. ‘She could be spying and informing on you.’

‘This isn’t a group decision. Ariana’s coming with me. I’l keep her safe.’

‘What wil happen to her when you go off tomorrow

‘What wil happen to her when you go off tomorrow night?’ Lila asked. It was the first time she’d spoken and there was something strange about her voice. Ana could hear the hurt, yes, but something else too.

‘I’l only be gone a couple of hours.’

‘Something could go wrong,’ Lila said. ‘You could be delayed. I think she should go to the Project.’

‘The Project!’ Nate scoffed. ‘They won’t let her in.’

‘I think they wil,’ Lila said. ‘Richard spoke about her too.’

Rachel huffed and stormed from the cabin.

Ana froze. Oh my God, she thought. They think I’m part of some Glimpse into the future where Cole will heal the world.

Cole chewed the side of his lip, considering.

‘You may be right,’ he said to Lila. ‘OK. We’l go to the Project.
