General Lance Gordon had rarely, if ever, felt so good in his life. The new heart had returned him to the energy of his youth and beyond. He felt sharper, more focused and had a sense of purpose that went far beyond anything he had done for the U.S. military and his covert employment with Zoomb since. The enemies destroyed, the lives saved and the technology developed, all of it seemed trivial now.

His mind was awake for the first time in his life. He wondered if his heart had just been shitty from the get-go and this is what other people felt like. But when he looked around and saw the sluggish look in the day-to-dayers passing by the car, he knew that wasn’t true. If anything, he’d already lived a fuller life than most.

“How much longer?” he asked.

Endo looked back from the front seat of the black BMW. “We’re five minutes out.”

They’d been driving for most of the day, taking a maze of Maine back roads until they reached Route 95 and sped south through Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, where they connected with Route 1 to finish the journey to Boston. They’d just crossed the utilitarian looking, pale green Tobin Memorial Bridge, and were headed downtown to the Prudential Tower where Zoomb had offices and the resources Gordon needed—computers, Internet connection, a secure location and a private locker to which only Gordon had access.

He didn’t exactly know why he needed those things yet, it was just a gut feeling, a burning desire to find out...something...and then what? He wasn’t sure. He just knew he had to look.

In Boston.

He could feel her still. Maigo. But distant, like an old memory. At first he thought it might have something to do with the girl. She was from Boston and he felt drawn here, but he suspected it had more to do with her other half—the portion of her unearthed from the Alaskan mountainside after his “retirement.” They’d given him everything he wanted—a staggering finder’s fee and control of BioLance—after verifying the find, purchasing the land and extracting the body, in pieces, to a location that even he didn’t know.

Finding out where that was and what Zoomb knew about the creature were his next steps. After that—his gut would guide him. And Endo, ever faithful, would follow. Or drive.

Despite the lack of mid-day traffic, Endo slowed the car far short of the Prudential Tower parking garage. Gordon knew the man well enough to intuit something was amiss. “What is it?”

“Black suburban,” Endo said. “One o’clock.”

Gordon easily spotted the big black SUV parked a block ahead, just across the street from the parking garage.

“Looks like FBI,” Endo added.

Gordon nodded. “You think they’d switch to pink hybrids eventually. Might as well have a bright yellow FBI stenciled on the sides.”

“Think they’re here for us?” Endo asked.

“Only one way to find out,” the general replied.

Endo gave a nod and pulled back out into the street. Gordon rolled down his tinted window and looked out, pretending to gaze at the tall buildings.
