“Mo? Mo! Can you hear me? Shit, am I in? Yeah, yeah, I think I got you. I hacked your tracking chip. Don’t answer aloud, but you can use your butterflies to code a reply through the chip. Do you hear me?”
The door was only steps away. I couldn’t slow down or they’d shoot me.Who is this?
“Mo! Oh fuck, thank god. It’s Jacob. This signal sucks, but we had to reach you, tell you he’s coming to get you.”
Three steps away.Who?
“Dane, of course. He’s been freaking out trying to find you, to figure out a way to get to you. We’re so close. Just be ready. Don’t do anything drastic until he’s gets there.”
One step from the shielded door.Who is Dane?
“Wha…? Don’t fuck around, Mo. I know it’s taken us a long time—too long—to reach you, but it’s been all but impossible. They basically disappeared you. Mo? Don’t be mad. Imogen?”
The door shut behind me. The gloves released, and I stretched my fingers. The X on the back of my hand itched, and I rubbed my thumb over the mark.
Even though the nanotech shield locked out any possible signal, I let my thoughts drift into the silence.
Who is Imogen?
