[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] other guards trying to work out what exactly had happened. The evidence of the bodies would have them considering the security team had entered recklessly and were attacked. Not that they had an intruder. She couldn't help smiling at that. Mac had only concentrated on the problem of the safe room itself and not thought of the more serious problem of getting out unobserved. No doubt surmising this would be the easy part. He was still thinking that more than Blanks couldn't see her without eye contact. If they were looking for a Psionic then she had provided them with a couple possibilities. A possible pyro-aggie moving around the building. With no evidence on camera, they might well believe there was a Stealth here instead. Her Clan secret had also to be kept. Kat stifled a laugh as she realised there was an even easier way to get out than the way she came in. The elevator came to a halt and as the guards left. Cameras would be examining corridors and rooms throughout the local area then building. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to set up any more fires now. Judging by the cables on top of the elevator, there was also a camera in the lift itself. The Fey resigned herself to waiting. Whoever was in charge would realise that there was too many people on the floor and send them back. Maybe they didn't really know. Just following orders from those who knew about Psionics. From what Lancier had once told her that wouldn't be the first time that human troops had been used as potential cannonfodder. The number of people who knew about Psionics kept it restricted than blagged to all and sundry. Her innate sense of time indicated just over an hour had passed since she had left McKensie. There was plenty of time before Mac would really worry if she was in difficulty. He had really been concerned at lunch. No doubt because the chances of being seen were greater in daylight. Like all Baselines, they failed to realise most people didn't gooseneck towards the rooftops. They were also less likely to believe their eyes if they looked out windows if she didn't hang around. It was also more prudent to wait than to rush out like any gorgio bandit anxious to get away. She had the prize in her vest. It would have been foolish to lose it in a mad hurry to leave. This assignment felt really good for a change. Caruthers had been a bitch ordering her confinements. She had really enjoyed herself today. Mac wasn't as confused about her as she feared. He was even bothering to learn Romany customs. A bit slow on the language but that wasn't totally a disadvantage yet. Page 37 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html Without the attack, he would have probably mastered more. Very intelligent. Head in books a lot but quick to adjust his ways to hers. She was falling in love with him. The Fey wasn't sure about his motives when Mac began trailing her at night. Blanks, by the definition of their job, tend to snoop rather than ark direct questions. It was her heart that jumped when her mates had thumped him that was the deciding factor. Baselines and Blank males were more fragile emotionally than physically. Until then, he had been communicative but distancing himself. Probably thought she had a fiery temper! Like a lot people, still not sure what to make of the Fey except for what she was. Unlike Caruthers, he had stopped thinking of her as a wild animal but a unique person. Would he fall in love without the pheromone controlling him? Her friends thought they were protecting her? Fhuh! Secrecy had its limits. They were lucky she hadn't attacked them. That would really have got her in trouble with the Stable. More than letting Mac get mugged. Civilians were definitely off-limits. Would he want the alternative? Would he stay with her? Mac had also hinted that he was to move onto another job shortly, meaning another Psionic problem. That, she decided, shouldn't happen. Part of her obligation to her people was bringing new blood into the Clan. If it could be brought in out of love...There weren't any Blanks, as far as she knew, in her Grandfather's day. Mac had balls. He was humorous in his own way. Very reassigned to what he had to do but had some character lurking in that personality. She was sure Mac was falling in love with her, despite what he said. He had to stay with her. She wanted him to stay. The elevator moved. It was time for action. Only quarter of an hour had passed. They would now be part of the various groups searching the building. As long as she stayed in the elevator or ventilation shafts there was little fear that any camera would spot her. The question was really where the occupants of this particular lift were going. The choices were easily counted. Go back where they came from. Investigate any of the floors where she had set off the sprinkler systems. Check the basement entrances. There was enough to keep them busy. Did they think there was an intruder now? Would they figure that she was still in the building? To suddenly disappear without setting up some sort of false trail would be very suspicious, especially when the safe was opened. Safe contents don't just disappear. In the Baseline naive world, there were no Psionics. The belief was spread that they didn't exist. A bengui trick. Faked by a lot of people with very minor talents who thought they were the real thing. Who then would believe in the real thing? It was an acknowledged mythology, very much the same way the Oberon Clan had concealed themselves through various half-truths over the centuries. Psionics was very much a minor [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
