The phone buzzed against her palm, and she gripped tight not to drop it. A call from the Board, on her day off. She supposed she shouldn’t answer on principle, but she didn’t want to ignore them until Monday either.

“Agent Hall,” one member said, whichever he was. “Asset loss needs asset recovery.”

“Every day?” she asked. “She’s just one chimera.” It felt strange to dismiss Magenta as mundane.

Especially when the Board didn’t buy it. “Unique asset. Sizable growth potential. Genuine results.”

Doc gripped her phone tighter and clenched her teeth. “Yes, I’ll pursue a line of inquiry.”

They sounded satisfied, the smoke from their dragon nostrils puffing against the phone in a calm cloud. The call ended. What the hell did they want so badly? They couldn’t know about Magenta by evidence alone. Genuine results might have referred to mutations in Yaya’s cells or a reaction to her last Sibs station injection in October. Doc doubted the Board would tell her. How? and Why? —irrelevant words.

But they had given her a better idea. Her thumb scrolled from her personal

friends’ numbers to a separate contact list. Different, distant names. To find one of these and take them away—it wouldn’t be much different from work.
