Dia carried the papers into Scott’s office and threw them on the desk. “Here’s my resignation. I’m done here.”

Scott leaned forward and sighed at the forms in front of him. “Why, Dia? Because you discovered your husband was dead after all?”

Dia’s gaze narrowed. “How do you know what Dr. Winters told me?”

“Because not so long ago that woman was a threat to global security. The UCN called and asked me to investigate what she was doing with you. She made twenty-nine com contacts for those on her mysterious list informing families of their soldier’s death. She made one in-person visit to everyone’s favorite global hero. You probably blew up at her for having the nerve to burst that bubble you’ve been living in. I also suspect that you flew to see her afterward to make amends for getting so angry because you’re a nice person. How am I doing so far?”

Shrugging, Dia paced in front of his desk. “And the trackers? Were you the person who put them in me? Norton almost put me in a cell over them.”

“Everyone at your level has trackers.”

“Not installed without their permission, Scott.”

He lifted a hand. “You’re in front of the public all the time. You could have been kidnapped.”

She wagged a finger in the air.

“Fine. You’re right. I overstepped in seeing they were installed.”

“Oh, you did a lot more than that. Who’s been paying Sergei to fuck me?”

“Now you’re being absurd. I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Scott protested.

“So Sergei is on someone else’s payroll. Interesting. Probably the UCN’s since I’m obviously as much of a global threat as Kyra Winters is thought to be.”

Dia pulled something from her pocket and walked around Scott’s desk. Knowing he’d never suspect her of violence, Dia grabbed his hair and shoved his head down with good whop to his forehead on the desk.

Killing him was appealing, but it would spoil the story she needed to weave.

“There’s something you need to learn before I leave, Scott. Share it with ‘the powers that be’ that nobody fucks with my life and gets away with it.”

She dispensed a syringe of fluid into the back of his neck. After that was done, Dia used her handful of hair to hold his head up.

“What did you do to me, Dia? I can’t move.”

“Good. Glad to know it’s working so fast. Now, if you don’t start telling me the truth, you will spend the rest of your life paralyzed and floating around in a transport chair. After a certain amount of time an antidote won’t even be helpful, so you’d better be real honest real quick if you want to beat the clock.”

“This is crazy. You’ve gone mad with grief.”

Dia snorted. “Why would I be grieving? My husband is still very much alive. Ash is a green alien-human hybrid, but very much alive. He says hello by the way. He doesn’t understand why you did this either. It’s unfortunate that all I can do is be pissed at you for keeping me from finding him sooner.
