Nick!

Annorah’s shout in his mind sent Nick ducking away, sending back an instant wordless snarl of reprimand.

Sorry, she returned, her inner voice practically sobbing with relief. We’re just so happy to hear from you—

We? Nick kept an eye on Jet as she prowled his great room—high ceilings, tile accents, a couple of skylights—and plenty of room for a restless wolf to pace among the sparse furniture in premorning light. Restless and barely here at all. I do what is good for my pack.

Your primaries, Annorah said, and then added, Not counting Michael and Shea and Ruger and—

Those still in the brevis clinic.

Ryan and Lyn, he said. Treviño?

Yes, she told him. Good. He’d need Treviño in on this, hard and dark and ready to act. He needed them all. And maybe he let his relief leak out, for Annorah said, Nick, are you all right? You don’t feel—

I got ambushed, Nick told her shortly. He didn’t mention Jet. He wasn’t ready for that yet. He hadn’t decided if it was because he didn’t want to muddy the waters or if he wanted to protect her or if he simply wanted to keep her all to himself. Trust no one, he told her. No one outside my primaries. There are new workings in play—undetectable amulets—perfected—

Yes! she responded, with enough enthusiasm to alert him. It wasn’t a new concept to her, and that wasn’t good—although he’d seen hints of them for months, he’d kept them under wraps. After a moment she returned with, Stealth amulets, Lyn calls them. She’s been trying to pin them down since you sent her to Flagstaff—but she doesn’t have anything yet.

Nick held a moment’s silence, eyeing Jet. If anyone knew…

Then again, Jet could be surrounded by them and not have any idea of the significance. There was nothing to gain by revealing her. Not yet.

Nick?

Here.

Whatever’s going down, it’s big. You weren ‘t the only one to go down yesterday. We…More hesitation. We lost field agents last night. We might lose more. We need—

Lyn is there, he interrupted her, trying to hide the sick impact of her words. She’s my second, as of right now. This was far beyond what his exec could handle—a fine man, but not field status and not even in the office yet. I should have done that a month ago.

But…Her thoughts stuttered to a halt, faltered onward. Aren’t you…aren’t you coming in?

He couldn’t quite say it—that in spite of the obvious crisis, the obvious need…that in fact, he wasn’t.

If he was at brevis, he was predictable. He was responding to pattern. He was in a mode that Gausto knew well and for which he had no doubt prepared.

Those were all reasons…if not the determining factor.

For if he was at brevis, then Jet would also be on her own. If he was at brevis, he’d have to answer questions. He’d get tied up in meetings and brevis politicking and procedures.

If he was at brevis, Jet would be alone.

And he knew she wouldn’t stay. Not when she’d barely come in from the desert in the first place.
