Chapter Thirty-Six

Caesar looked at the entrance. Grace remained silent next to him, hovering around his ear. He knew she was frightened, knew she didn’t want to be here and didn’t want him to be here. Still, she hadn’t left.

The building contained three separate rooms, each inside and slightly lower than the one before it, like a Russian doll that fits inside one another. He would have to get through the outer two rings to enter the final room, where The Tourist should be. He laid everything out in his head the same as a blueprint on paper. He had thirty seconds and he would need to begin his move.

Thanks, he said to Grace.

You’re welcome, she answered.

Caesar stepped forward, walking to the glass door in front of him. He waited for Grace to say something else, to ask him one more time to stop, but she didn’t. She said nothing, and then the glass door was opening, lowering into the ground so that he could step forward into the outer ring of the apartment.

A human stood at the counter, just as he should have been. A young guy, probably just starting out in his assignment—hospitality, Caesar imagined. Caesar walked to the counter, quickly, not flashing his eyes to the left or right though he knew the applications waited there.

“I’m sorry, sir. This is a private building.”

“Is it?” Caesar asked. He saw the man’s eyes waver, looking to his left first, seeing what was happening with the applications.

But here this man was, asking something that he shouldn’t have been asking, in a place that he shouldn’t have been, and what the hell was the kid supposed to do? No one trained him for this.

Caesar saw it all in the kid’s face, watched as the temperature in his skin rose a few degrees from the blood speeding to it. Everything was as it should be.

He felt the application reaching for him perhaps a second before it grabbed him.

Caesar moved. He lunged up and over the counter with one pump of his leg, the invisible clamp trying to come down on his arm missing by an inch, and then he was standing behind the kid. Both applications were invisible, and if they hadn’t just moved directly in front of the kid as Caesar predicted, it might be over. He planned on them being there but he still couldn’t see them. They had to be there at this exact moment or he had no chance of ever seeing them.

Caesar pulled the knife from his pants lining, a small thing, but sharp. He held the blade in between his thumb and finger, moving with a speed that was hard for the human eye to keep up with. One moment his hand was empty and the next it held the weapon. He flashed his
