2 Months Later…

Damion crouched in the shadow of the house he was positioned next to, a laptop balanced precariously on his knees. His finger came up to the earpiece nestled snugly inside his ear. He gave it a gentle tap. “Onsite takeover in progress,” his soft voice noted. He glanced behind him, the weeds around him brushing his beanie as he shifted on the balls of his feet.

“Yep, I’m getting all sorts of goodies on my end,” came a soft female reply. Damion couldn’t stop the smile that touched his face as she continued. “This program your friend created is top-notch.”

“He called it the Black Widow.” Damion rolled his eyes as he typed. “I’m trying not to see the irony here.”

“Ah.” Amusement rang clear in Falcon’s voice. “The power of perception.” It was clear she was typing on her end, and he wondered briefly where she’d set up. It was just the two of them out here in the middle of nowhere. He’d contacted her after Montoya helped him get his ankle monitor off two months ago. He wasn’t sure how she’d escaped protective custody, but she’d met him at one of the safehouses he’d refused to give up, no questions asked. They’d fallen back into their easy partnership quickly, her taking what he’d give her, and producing more information out of it.

Austin was still missing, but it was only a matter of time before they found him. He only hoped that Austin was still himself when they did. He had no doubt the teen was alive. From what Falcon had been able to gather, the Wolf spared no expense to keep his hackers for as long as possible, and Austin was a special case. He’d use the kid to his advantage, dangling him over Eli in every way he could.

Damion hadn’t spoken to Eli much in the last two months, but he felt the overwhelming guilt of his failure. He needed to find Austin, and he needed to do it soon. The kid was in far more danger now than he’d been two months ago.

He and Falcon had seen the rise in violence steadily escalate since the REMbot’s early existence. He couldn’t get Montoya out of his head about how wide the Wolf’s influence already was. She and Henderson had to have their hands full. He knew she was doing everything she could to support him, even though he’d broken his probation. If Sheamus ever found out how she’d helped him, she’d be thrown into jail herself. Damion wondered, every once in awhile, if Montoya could convince Sheamus that his need to go undercover, however rogue, was justified. He wasn’t sure that Sheamus would ever understand, not completely.

The man was a good director, but he was oblivious to a majority of what was taking place around him. Most everyone was. Damion was convinced it took knowing the Wolf personally to see him for what he really was. He was the type of person that you didn’t forget once you saw the truth of him.
