When the sounds of the jet’s engines had quieted at cruising altitude, she turned to Rodrigo, who was seated next to her. He was an older, Hispanic man, a veteran of the PIR Units, and her partner on many of the Bureau’s investigations. His long, black-and-white hair was tied in a ponytail behind him, and his face was pocked with acne scars from his youth.

“A little girl breaks into an Air Force base by ripping through two fences,” she began, “disables their security systems, kills three airmen, steals sensitive equipment that she shouldn’t have known about in the first place, and then just walks out, scot-free. How does that scan to you?”

“It doesn’t. I’ve seen a lot of mierda—a lot of shit—in my day, amiga, but this one…” He shook his head. The wrinkles in his face looked deeper and more numerous in the low light of the cabin.

Scarlet understood. PIR Units dealt with paranormal or otherwise unexplained phenomena that were of security interest to the AFE, but seldom were the stakes quite this high. Vampire cults; hostile, extra-dimensional intelligences that had found a way to materialize a body here; UFOs of all sorts; various freaks of nature which science said shouldn’t be possible—all such things were routine for them. But she recalled the security camera footage she saw and noted how it haunted even her. There was something about that little girl’s penetrating stare that sent shivers up Scarlet’s spine.

“Possessed doll?” Scarlet speculated.

Rodrigo shook his head again. “Not likely. They mainly just communicate via telepathy. They get their way with threats, fear, and thought-invasion, not physical violence. It’s not unheard of for one to be able to move on its own, but it’s so rare, chica. And when they do move, it isn’t with a great amount of strength. Besides, you know of any four-foot dolls?” He cast her a skeptical look.

“Agreed. Tulpa?”

Rodrigo thought for a few seconds. “Maybe. You might have something there. The knowledge of how to create a tulpa is known by only very few these days. But that wouldn’t explain how the tulpa’s creator could have known about the sensitive equipment or its location.”

“Unless the creator were in on certain of the Air Force’s secret projects. Or maybe just someone who cracked their computer systems and found out about their tech that way. Anyone can be hacked; not even the military is 100% airtight.”

He stroked his chin in thought. “Tulpa. Sí. A possibility to keep in mind. What else?”

“Extra-terrestrial,” Scarlet said, stepping through her mental checklist.

“But no UFOs sighted anywhere near Quincy that night or that morning. Signals intel of air-traffic control at nearby airports was clean. Air Force’s was clean, too, as well as their satellite imagery. No evidence of UFOs anywhere around Quincy that whole night. I read the report the officers gave us. You should, too.” He smiled wryly at her.

“Do ETs always have to have a physical craft, though?” Scarlet reminded him. “Or communicate via signals we can detect, let alone
