The Amazon.We found the mission at dawn. Elias, Kael, the kids and Lena were already there.An old stone building. A roof made of palm leaves. The people who lived there were gone. Run off or maybe dead. We didn't ask.Elias set up a clinic in the back room. Caiman carried the wounded inside. One at a time.Mira helped him. Her hands were steady. Her face was calm. She had seen worse. She had been worse.Kenji stood by the window staring out at the jungle.Rina stood guard at the door. Kael walked the perimeter. Lena sat under a tree with her knife.The kids were on a blanket in the corner. Maja was holding Leo's hand. Lars was lying down with his eyes closed. None of them were sleeping.I walked over to them.Maja looked up. "Father.""Yeah.""Is Uncle Kenji okay?"I looked at Kenji. At his back. At his hands and at the way he was standing. He was still like a stone."I don't know.""He looks different.""He's been through a lot."Maja nodded. "We all have."I knelt down in front of
Chapter 104
We ran for three weeks after Scotland.Not only from Phoenix. But from everyone. The broadcast had turned half the world against us. The other half was too scared to help. Governments put out warrants. News channels showed our faces. Phoenix offered rewards.We crossed the Channel in a stolen fishing boat. Rotted wood. Leaking hull. The kids were sick the whole way. Maja threw up over the side until there was nothing left. Leo held her hair back. Lars sat between them with his eyes closed.We made landfall in France at dawn. An old dock. No one there. Caiman found a truck. The keys were inside. We drove south.We crossed Spain at night. Back roads. No lights. The kids slept in the back. Elena watched the road behind us. Kenji watched the road ahead.We reached Portugal on the fourth day. Rina knew a man who knew a man who had a boat. A cargo ship headed to Brazil. The captain asked no questions. He took our last money and looked the other way.The crossing took two weeks. The ship sme

We carried him to the boat.Elena wrapped him in a blanket. Her hands were shaking. She tucked the corners around his body like she was tucking a child into bed.Caiman started the engine. His jaw was tight. His hands were firm on the wheel.Kenji sat at the bow. He had Borealis's tablet in his hands. He wasn't looking at it. He was just holding it. His shoulders were shaking.Rina and the others sat in the second boat. Silent. Lena was crying. Daria had her hand over her mouth. Kael stared at the water. Niko looked at the sky. Mira held Viktor's arm.I sat next to Elias.Elias hadn't moved since we picked up Borealis's body. He had his hand on Borealis's chest over the wound. His fingers were red."He was scared of everything," Elias said. His voice was hollow. "He told me once. He said 'I'm not brave like the others. I'm just too stubborn to quit.'"I looked at Borealis. At his closed eyes. At the blood on his shirt."He was braver than all of us," I said.Elias nodded. His chin tre

Rina translated. "He says that's where he came in when he escaped. The maintenance hatch."Borealis zoomed in. "That's our way in."Daria stood up too. She pointed at the engine room. Then at Borealis's device. Then made an explosion motion with her hands.Borealis nodded. "If we plant the device near the main power core, we can take out their systems for good."Niko stood up. He stared at the map for a long time. Then he pointed at the guard rotation schedule. There is a shift change and a gap between patrols.Rina said "He's worked on supply ships so he knows their patterns."I looked at Niko. "Can you get us past the guards?"He nodded. Once.Mira stood up last. She didn't point at the map. She pointed at me."You lead," she said. "We follow."I looked at her. At her calm eyes and her steady hands."Why?""Because you're still standing. After everything. You're still standing."I didn't know what to say.Elena put her hand on my shoulder. "She's right."The room was quiet.Viktor g

None of the clones except Rina had said anything to anyone since they arrived. They just watched and listened to the instructions given by me and my team.Elias poured himself a drink. Whiskey. Neat. He didn't offer anyone else.I looked at the clones against the wall. All six of them have different faces and different ages. They have not met their ORIGINAL. But something was off. They haven't spoken to anyone since they came. It looked like they were distancing themselves. "Rina," I said.She turned from the window. "Yeah.""Your people. They haven't said a word since they got here."She looked at them. Then back at me. "They don't talk much.""Why not?"Rina walked over to the wall and knelt down in front of them. "Because of what they have been through.”She touched the shoulder of the one closest to her. A man with dark skin and shaved head. He had a scar across his throat that looked like someone had tried to cut it."This is Kael," she said. "He was Gen-2. A combat model. They
Chapter One hundred
I sat in the passenger seat while Caiman drove. Elena was in the back with the equipment. Borealis had his tablet open. The kids were back at the safe house with Elias. Maja had cried when we left. Leo did not cry. He just stood there and watched us go. Lars held Maja's hand the whole time.I kept looking at my phone. The countdown said thirty-six hours. My heart would not slow down.Borealis looked up from the tablet. "The signal is coming from a warehouse in East London. Old textile factory. Phoenix has been using it as a holding site."Elena looked up. "How many guards?""No way to know yet. But the broadcast is set for tomorrow at noon. They will want security there. Cameras. An audience watching."Caiman did not take his eyes off the road. "We hit it before the broadcast then."I shook my head. "They will see that coming. The whole place will be locked down tight."Elena said "Then we go in during the broadcast."I turned around. "During it?""Everyone will be watching the screen
