He followed Elliott through the ship, a route that was familiar from LC’s shared memories. The smallest of details, a scuff on the wall, a rust patch on a handrail, every dink and dent in the bulkhead, made it feel like he’d been here himself already.

“So…” Elliott said as they climbed stairs, “telepathy is a remarkable talent to have. What else can you do?”

It was tempting to throw a fireball up the stairwell.

NG didn’t reply. Even though he couldn’t sense a thing from him, he could almost feel the guy smirking up ahead.

“It was impressive to watch how you used Luka and Duncan on Erica,” Elliott said. “Very impressive. You’re not infected like the others so I’m guessing you were born with this ability. Was Luka? Or was that the virus? I’m guessing the virus by the way it was passed to Duncan. Do you know how it works?”

It was difficult to tell if Elliott knew more and was fishing to see how much they did, or whether it was a genuine question.

Elliott laughed when he didn’t answer. “I knew Luka was good but the telepathy explains how he was able to keep ahead of the bounty hunters for so long. It does give you the perfect counter to the Bhenykhn’s jamming technology. But there are only three of you. If you manage to replicate the virus, how are you planning to disseminate it? The human race isn’t ready to welcome a society of telepaths into its midst, Nikolai. And you’re running out of time.”

He knew that. He didn’t have time for this. “What do you want from us, Elliott? What did you send LC into Yarrimer for?” The tab had been detailed – gain access, break into a specific vault, open a specific safe, acquire the contents – but there’d been no description of what those contents might be.

“They have an artefact I need,” came the reply. “Yarrimer is not somewhere I can go. From what I know of their security and what I know your field operatives are capable of, I reckoned Luka was my best shot. Luka or Andreyev.” He stopped and glanced back over his shoulder. “I take it no one else knows that little secret of yours.”

Martinez had guessed as much. No one else knew except the Man. It was unsettling to think that Elliott knew that about him and Christ knows what else.

He couldn’t keep the irritation from his voice. “Elliott, the last thing we need right now is LC out there on his own again.”

The tech guy had started climbing again. “I actually didn’t consider that Zang would stoop to such crass methods as murdering innocent girls. It wasn’t Luka but they have a pretty much watertight case against him. DNA, fingerprints, footage from station security, eye witness accounts…”

It wasn’t surprising. NG followed, leaning on the handrail as the knee started to complain. He’d thought they must have solid evidence to get Ballack to back it and, as much as he’d swear LC would never hurt Olivia, he still asked, “How do you know it wasn’t LC?”

“I’ll show you.
