Felician’s downtown office was stripped bare; apparently he’d cleared out in a hurry. The lack of bloodstains or telltale cleaner odor made Velocity reasonably certain that he hadn’t been murdered and dragged away. So she took Borealis on a tour of the bars and dives that Felician thought she didn’t know about.
They found him sitting in the back of a troll bar called Buster’s. He was at a narrow high table, morosely nursing a gin-and-tonic and pulling at his beard.
Velocity pretended to scratch her collarbone and let her hand drop inside her jacket to the grip of her lefthand pistol. “Felician. What the frag happened, chummer?”
With a start, he looked up, his face paling. “Velocity. Borealis. I—”
From the corner of her eye, she saw the stun grenade sailing toward them, and she barely had time to grab Borealis and dive into an unoccupied booth before it went off. When she popped back up, she saw a whole corporate security goon platoon swarming through the front door. Fortunately, the troll regulars didn’t much cotton to the invasion and were raising a violent ruckus, efficiently blocking the squad’s progress through the bar. At least a half-dozen fistfights broke out, and the place soon filled with the din of smashing glass and fracturing furniture.
She turned back to Felician’s table. The fixer had taken the full blast of the stun grenade and was sprawled unconscious on the floor, bleeding from his nose and ears.
“We gotta get to the safe house,” she told Borealis. “Grab Felician, I’ll cover us!”
He nodded. “You’re the boss.”
