Chapter 4. Sleipnir

“HELLO BEAR,” I mumbled, feeling like I had steel wool in my mouth. I wanted to say more, but didn’t know what, and anyway, I couldn’t even feel my tongue. I felt like I was falling down, down, and as I did, I saw Hagen’s solemn face as if shatter into pieces behind the visor of his helmet. Something flowed from my ears, eyes and mouth, something thick and hot, I tried to inhale, but couldn’t, because I was choking on blood. And then, a dead silence fell over me, and I heard the final beating of my heart echoing in the silence.

I felt something prick my chest, and then it was like the lights went out.

When I came to again, an emerald glimmer was spreading over me, and I heard a gentle voice above me say, “The patient Alex Sheppard has been healed.”

I was in a strange room with a sloping domed ceiling. The chamber was infused with that greenish light, and it made me feel like I was in a sunlit forest, except that there weren’t any birds.

Opposite me sat a silent man in a white lab coat looking me in the eyes. He held in his hand an injection pistol.

“You’re okay, Alex, you’re safe,” the man said.

“Where am I?” My voice was no longer quaking, my tongue worked again, and my throat no longer felt like it was lined with sandpaper. “Where is this safe house?”

“You’re on Mr. Hagen’s space yacht. He named it Sleipnir, whatever that means.”

“It’s a horse,” I said, and grinned. “It’s Odin’s eight-legged horse.”

“A horse? That flies?” The doctor’s eyebrows shot up, and I shook my head. “No? It’s a strange name.”

“I like it. By the way, where is Mr. Hagen?”

“He’s got matters to attend to, but he’ll be joining us soon,” the man said in a too-cheerful voice. “But you can sit up now. You’re all right.”

I gingerly hoisted myself up, listening to my organism and examining it. I felt like I was wrapped in cling film or something that started tearing as I moved, and then it started peeling off, kind of like seriously sunburned skin. In a few seconds, the shedding process was over.

I felt a little woozy, but nothing hurt. My head was clear, my vision, too, and the burns were healed, even if they were slightly paler than the rest of my skin.

“I told you you’re fine,” the man said, almost a little irritated, the silver frames of his glasses glinting in the light. “Well?”

“Yes, I feel good.”

“There are clothes beside you on the left.”

While he politely looked the other way, I pulled on new tactical pants and a plaid shirt, and found sneakers and socks under the bed. They all fit just right.

Then, I sat down again and looked at the “doc.” He looked like he was in his late forties, or maybe fifty-something, with graying hair tied back in a ponytail, intelligent eyes, and a wide jaw.

“Who are you? Do you work for Mr. Hagen?”

He extended his hand right away.
