Twelve

The following morning, I gave Sunlight oodles of attention so that he wouldn’t fuss at me for leaving him alone again. He purred and rubbed his kitty face against the side of mine while I drank coffee that I’d tested for poison with a kit Gamma had given me a few months ago. It always paid to have one in the house when you had mortal enemies across the globe.

“I’m not going to be too long,” I said, “and I’m not going to stay the night, but I have to work away from home today, Sunlight.”

I received an indignant meow in response.

“I understand,” I said, “but it is what it is. There are lives to be saved.” And if I didn’t handle this, Grant and the rest of the NSIB would sweep in and neutralize the threat before taking us away. Away from Gossip and the people we had grown to love.

I sighed, finished my coffee, and headed for the door, catching a glimpse of my reflection in the black TV screen.

“You don’t want peace, Charlotte.” Gamma’s words rang in my head. Was that true? Did I not want peace? Or was it boredom I wanted to avoid? The fear of being useless when I had been a tool for the majority of my adult life.

I checked my phone for text messages and found one from Edgar.

They were talking about a new product that would put the big drug store out of business. A cure-all pill.
