Five minutes later, as Jia sipped tea, she heard something far more disturbing—a genuinely apologetic and worried Emma. She set down her cup as the AI delivered the surprising news.

“I don’t know how to explain it.” Emma sighed. “I’ve somehow lost his flitter. One moment, my drones were following it and I had it on camera, and then it was gone.”

“He hacked your drones and the cameras,” Erik suggested.

“Without me knowing?” Emma scoffed, her confident arrogance returning. “That seems unlikely.”

“But it doesn’t change the fact he’s gone,” Erik countered.

“That much is true,” Emma admitted. “Unfortunately.”

“Jump drive on his flitter,” Erik joked. “Oh, well. Less to worry about right now.”

“That would be rather more obvious than what happened.” Emma sounded annoyed.

Jia looked out the diner window at the stream of flitters in the sky. Marius Barbu was somewhere out among the hundred-million people of Neo SoCal. They had not come to the diner to capture him. As long as the data rod held something useful, it wasn’t a wasted trip.

She ran her finger along the data rod. “Let’s be safe about this. You’re right, Erik. Barbu’s a lot more than a simple arms dealer, and he might have attracted the wrong kind of attention. Let’s go back to your place. At least there, we know it’ll be safe to check this out.”
