- Your Little Bird.”

Eli’s hand drops as he finishes reading, staring at the floor. A heavy pause hangs in the air.

Alongside the fear crawling up my spine is a swelling of pride at her resolve to take control of her own destiny. I’m envious. One thing Soren said is true; I am a pawn. I was a pawn in my parents’ game when they installed me in the position of head of the Seed Bank Protection Project. Now the Director is using me for her own ends.

I’m going after them, I think and when Eli looks up at me, I realize I’ve said it out loud.

And then Gabriel’s knees give way, he sinks in front of me. Eli catches the older man in his arms, hugging him as tenderly as any son would. I only now realize how fully they see each other as family. The acknowledgment that Remy is gone washes over both of them like a tide. Then Eli looks up at me.

“I’m coming with you.”

“Neither of you are authorized to leave this outpost until I give the command,” the Director snaps, but she might as well be speaking from another world.

“If you’re going, I’m damn well going, too,” Soren growls.

“None of you are going anywhere!” the Director shouts. The three of us fall silent. Gabriel straightens up, away from Eli’s protective embrace. He looks at the Director, pleading and desperate.

“Please,” he says, his voice hoarse and broken, nothing like the booming, charismatic oratory of the Poet Laureate I remember from Sector broadcasts years ago. “Cillian. Let them go. Let them bring her back. I can’t lose her, too.”

She watches him for several minutes, surveying him and Eli together. Finally she speaks.

“The three of you take one other person.” She nods at Kenzie. “You’ll lead a second team of four. Pick your team. Split up to cover more ground. Find them and bring them back.”

“What if they’ve taken a hovercar?” I ask.

The Director turns to Zoe. “Go check Camera Two.” As Zoe runs off, the Director turns to Gabriel. “If she’s taken one of the hovercars, it’s going to be a lot harder to track her down, and she’ll have had time to put a lot of distance between us. You have to be prepared for that.” Then she locks her gaze on me. “You’ve got seventy-two hours. The Flora mission can’t wait.”

Eli, Soren, and I survey each other warily. Distrust in Soren’s eyes, hesitant cooperation in Eli’s.

“Understood,” I say.

“Good.”
