CHAPTER

FOUR

I still can’t believe Marie’s gone. I just can’t.

I’ve seen my share of dangers in this job. Hell, I’ve never seen an IE contract that didn’t have a hazard clause for things like this. I knew—we all knew—there was a particular danger in this one, but I always presumed we could handle it. I always presumed they’d come after me, or maybe T. Why did Marie have to get back in that damned truck? Why?

And damn it, it had to be then that we finally found the malfing firecats, too! Someone had tried to kill us all, killed Marie and Esok, and we suddenly found the stupid beasts that caused all this trouble!

We tracked those twice-damned animals for weeks after that, and I felt about half a meter tall through the whole thing. Marie should’ve been there. I would’ve given up and told Croft to shove his entire mission, but I just couldn’t. Not after the cost. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell Tyler right away. How could I?

And it all led back to an IE ship! A stupid, Bast-damned IE DropShip carried those beasties to Shasta before something brought it down. Somehow, enough cats survived and escaped to breed in the rainforest, where they’ve been wiping out anything small enough for them to kill.

Lawrence and I found the DropShip’s recorders, but they’re maybe five years old; Trouble doesn’t even think he can decipher them now, but at least we’re done with Shasta.

Damn it all! Why did I have to be so angry with her on that day?
