I barely ate because I was so busy telling Rylen and the others what was going on. Matt wasn’t there. The mess hall was like a cafeteria. Right now it was bustling and loud.

Shavontae and Devon were at the end of the table with Tyree, who ate and ate, not paying any attention to our conversation.

“Up their noses?” J.D. exclaimed with a shiver. “That is disgusting.” He put a hand over his nose.

“It’s cruel that they can remember,” Officer Sean said. “But if they’d been put under, they wouldn’t have been able to give you that information.”

“We’ll make sure they’re under anesthesia when we try to get them out,” I promised.

The front door flew open, and Matt stood there swiveling his head. I jumped to my feet as Captain Ward did the same at his table. Matt caught sight of us both and waved hurriedly.

Before I could step away, Rylen grabbed my hand and I looked into his proud eyes.

“Good luck, Pepper.”

I leaned down and kissed him before running for the doors.

We took the woman who’d given us the information first. Sedating her was easy. Matt explained that the switch controlled the positive and negative magnetisms, and we all believed negative was needed to send a signal to the worm to disengage and exit.

So many things could go wrong, but we had to try.

Captain Ward held the magnet to her forehead and flipped the switch. I stood behind her, holding the sides of her face. It took a full thirty seconds of nervous waiting before her body jolted, and I sucked in a breath, holding her tighter.

Her body began to lightly convulse, sending my heart racing. I looked at the monitor to be sure she wasn’t seizing. Her heart rate was fast, but still in the safe zone. Again, her body jerked, back arching more violently than before, and Captain Ward gaped.

“It’s coming out!”

As a paramedic, I’d seen too many gory scenes to count, but something about the sight of the bloody mechanical worm slithering out of her nostril almost made me lose what little bit of dinner I’d eaten.

I grabbed it with a set of surgical tongs and placed it on gauze. Then I set to cleaning her nose and waiting for her to wake. We hadn’t done much, but the Captain and I both appeared as if we’d just run a marathon. It was out, and now all we could do was wait to see how she’d be affected.

Her hand was cool in mine as I sat at the side of her bed. It took forty-five minutes before she stirred. Maybe stirred was the wrong word. She turned to the side and violently puked. I quickly grabbed a bin and held it beneath her chin. Captain Ward leapt to his feet from where he’d been half-asleep by the window, and rushed over to hold her shoulder.

“It’s okay,” I told her as she breathed hard, looking wildly around the room. “You’re safe. I’m Amber Tate, and this is Captain Ward.
