Chapter 13
Waiting.
Just waiting.
His government, the US government, had taught him well. Theyâd trained him, steeped him, in the power of waiting.
It wasnât the waiting that was hard, it was the patience. It gnawed at him like the wolf whoâd 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 theyâd trained him well, and heâd returned with proof of the deadly poisons that the FSB created in that closed city, and a permanent limp.
Theyâd taught him waiting again when heâd gone from loyal subject to lab rat. When theyâd burned his gift out of him, scraped it clean with chemicals meant to enhance it, reproduce it. And when it was gone, and theyâd discarded him into a deep and dark cell, he had waited.
Three years heâd been caged in the dark before opportunity had shone her smile upon him. Heâd 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.
Heâd 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 heâd feltâ¦her!
He no longer had the gift, but heâd felt it in her like a beacon of wildfire. All he could feel was that she had everything heâd 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.
Theyâd taught him that lesson very, very well.
He waited.
