“You were there for her at the end,” Joe said as he slowly led Roz back through the corridors. “That’s what counts. She didn’t die alone.”

Roz sniffed, and used the cuff of her sleeve to wipe her eyes.

“Come on, we’ll go see the boss, if you feel up to it?”

“OK.”

As they approached another door, it opened and a tall, slim woman stepped out.

“Boss, this is—”

“I recognize her, Mr. Ward. It’s Rosalyn Dalton.”

Roz swallowed. No…

“I heard about your little friend, Roz. You have my sympathies. It’s amazing she lasted as long as she did.”

Roz couldn’t speak. The shock of Victoria’s death was bad enough, but this was more than she could take.

“So what brings you here, Roz?” the woman asked. “Realized that the Praetorians’ way of life needs to come to an end? Bear in mind that if your answer is anything other than ‘Yes,’ you might not like our reaction.”

“You…” She stopped herself. “Yes. The Praetorians have to be stopped.”

“Good. My name is Suzanne Housten. Now, if you have any ideas about assassinating me, look down at my feet. Go on. Look.”

Roz looked. The woman was floating two inches off the ground.

“Like you, Roz, I’m a superhuman. One of the very few Krodin hasn’t murdered. I’m considerably stronger and faster than you are. I could crush your skull between my hands.” Then she smiled again. “But I’m sure it won’t come to that, will it?”

Roz shook her head. “No.” Her heart was beating like crazy. Every instinct told her to run, to get as far away from this woman as possible.

She doesn’t know me! Roz told herself. As far as she knows she’s never met me!

But Roz had met this woman before, back in the real world. Back there, Suzanne Housten went under a different name: Slaughter.
