My compound, present day

“So, the United Regions contacted the head of the rebellion?” Axel asks. “Did Eli ever tell you what the UR got in exchange for the real bees?”

I shake my head. I can only guess. The more I think about my present situation, the more I begin to wonder if I’ve been sent here in trade, but I don’t know if he’s one of the people the rebels contacted, or if any of what I’ve been told was true. I glance down at the scar on my arm, where Eli tagged me with a tracker. Could it be possible someone here could use it to find me?

Axel’s gaze drops to where I look. He reaches out and grabs my arm. “Did you ever get your hands on a magnet?”

“It hasn’t crossed my mind. I mean, there’s no Net here, so it’s not active.”

“But if there were power?”

“I suppose someone could find me.”

He reaches under where his shirt hangs out of his waistband and extracts a knife.

“Shit!” I try to jerk my arm free, but he holds it like vice. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Do you really want to find out if someone can find you if the towers come up?”

“They’re not coming up.”

“Willing to bet your life on it?” He slices before I can answer. The blade as sharp as a razor meets no resistance. “I’m not.”

“Ouch!” I tug harder as blood spills down my arm, running like a river to my fingertips. He uses the tip to dig in. Pain shoots up my arm, into my shoulder. The lights in the room fade in and out. “Let go,” I screech, but he doesn’t listen. I throw my body back against my workbench and arch my back. The room is whirling around and around, and sweat breaks out on my forehead.

“Hold still. I’ve almost got it.”

“Gah!” A scream gurgles from my throat. “You’re with them.”

“No, and be glad I’m not,” he says. There’s a wet pop, and the knife leaves my arm. “Got it.”

I blink as Axel holds up a metal capsule. “Oh,” I gasp, and a blanket of darkness drops over me.
