Chapter 13

Waiting.

Just waiting.

His government, the US government, had taught him well. They’d trained him, steeped him, in the power of waiting.

It wasn’t the waiting that was hard, it was the patience. It gnawed at him like the wolf who’d almost taken him out on the Mirny, Siberia, mission. It had been a silent battle to the death less than fifty meters from a fully armed Russian patrol. But they’d trained him well, and he’d returned with proof of the deadly poisons that the FSB created in that closed city, and a permanent limp.

They’d taught him waiting again when he’d gone from loyal subject to lab rat. When they’d burned his gift out of him, scraped it clean with chemicals meant to enhance it, reproduce it. And when it was gone, and they’d discarded him into a deep and dark cell, he had waited.

Three years he’d been caged in the dark before opportunity had shone her smile upon him. He’d left a dozen scientists and guards buried in a fifty-meter crater in the Nevada desert. He alone had walked out, walked across that vast burning desert undetected. His government had taught him well.

He’d disappeared into the warp and fold of civilians, unknown, unremarked.

Knowing it was all gone, that his gift would never return, he had merely existed.

Until he’d felt…her!

He no longer had the gift, but he’d felt it in her like a beacon of wildfire. All he could feel was that she had everything he’d lost.

A signal that he knew would let the evil ones track her, lock her into a lab, and dissect her soul until only a screaming shell remained.

No, it was better if she was saved now. Never knew that dark hole underneath the shifting soils of the Nevada desert.

His government had taught him that the only easy day was yesterday.

They’d taught him that lesson very, very well.

He waited.
