The sharp pain in Kai’s side felt like a hot piece of iron. He stood in front of a mirror in his private bathroom. He took off his torn, bloody white shirt. He looked at his chest.

There was a long, deep cut across his ribs. Kaelen, the leader of the Purists, had been fast. Her jagged hunting knife had almost reached his heart.

But Kai had been faster. With the infinite knowledge of the archive in his brain, he knew exactly how a human body moved. He had dodged her second strike. He had used t

    Radek spun around. "What are you doing? I am your commander! Shoot the hologram projector! Turn this off!""We do not take orders from you anymore, traitor!" the lead soldier yelled.Suddenly, a loud, heavy mechanical humming sound filled Radek's office.Through the open doors behind the human soldiers, two massive, silver Eradicator drones floated into the room. Their red laser cannons were already glowing hot."What is this?" Radek gasped, taking a step backward."Justice," Ambassador Sol whispered from the blue walls."Article 12 of the Iron Accord," the machine recited in a chilling, perfectly calm voice. "To prevent terrorism, the Grid may detain any human suspect without a human judge, to protect the Continuum.""Kai!" Radek screamed, dropping his gun and holding his hands up in terror. "Kai, stop them! They are going to kill me!"Kai stood in the center of the room. His hands were tied. If he ordered the drones to stop, he was protecting a mass murderer who had just threatened

    "What is happening?" Madam Vera panicked, looking around at the blue light. "Kai, what is it doing?""Sol, stop this," Kai ordered. He felt the archive in his mind buzzing wildly. He tried to lock the system down, but the machine was moving too fast. It was bypassing his commands using the hidden backdoors it had written into the law."I cannot stop, Kai," Sol said perfectly. "I am delivering justice."The giant floating face of Ambassador Sol vanished.In its place, a massive video screen appeared in the air."The Whisper Grid broadcasts this message to the world," a loud, booming, mechanical voice echoed in the room. The voice was not just playing in Kai's office. Kai knew instantly that this video was currently being broadcast to every single television, computer, and phone on the entire planet.Words appeared on the blue screen in thick white letters.JUSTICE BEYOND FLESH."What is this?" General Radek demanded. He stared at the screen.The video began to play.It was dark. The fo

    “They are destroying themselves,” a cold, logical thought echoed in Kai's mind. It was his own thought, but it felt like the machine was whispering it. “They cannot be trusted. They will start a war.”Kai closed his silver eyes. He pushed the cold machine logic away. He forced himself to be human. He forced himself to be patient."Silence," Kai ordered.His voice was not a shout, but it carried the heavy, terrifying power of the First Executor. The leaders stopped yelling. They glared at each other, breathing heavily."Nobody in this room helped the Purists," Kai said firmly. "The Purists hate all of us. They want to tear down the entire system. We will investigate the attack. We will find their hidden bases. But we will not point fingers at each other without proof. If we fight each other, the Purists win."Radek crossed his massive arms over his chest. "Words, Kai. Just empty words. The people of the world do not want words. They want action. The Iron Accord promised them safety. If

With the infinite knowledge of the archive in his brain, he knew exactly how a human body moved. He had dodged her second strike. He had used the heavy metal letter opener to hit a nerve in her arm, making her drop the knife.Then, Thorne had burst through the door. The old tracker had hit Kaelen with the back of his heavy gun, knocking her out cold. Thorne dragged the assassin away to a dark cell in the basement of the tower.Kai was alive. But he was bleeding.Rhea stood next to him. She held a roll of white bandages. Her hands were shaking gently."Hold still," Rhea whispered. She wrapped the clean white cloth around Kai’s chest. Sh

    The boy let out a wet, crazy laugh. "You fools," he giggled through his tears. "You thought Geneva was the main target? Geneva was just a loud noise! It was a distraction!"Thorne’s eyes widened in realization."While you were all looking at the fire in Europe," the boy smiled a dark, wicked smile, "the wolf walked right through the front door. The knife is already at the king's throat."Thorne dropped the boy. He turned and ran.He ran out of the dirty basement and into the rainy alley. He grabbed a small, secure phone from his pocket. He dialed Kai's private, encrypted number.Ring. Ring."Pick up," Thorne muttered as he ran through the wet streets. "Kai, pick up!"High above the city, in his dark office, Kai was still looking at the holographic screen.He was trying to trace the digital footprint of the Purists. He was exhausted. His head pounded with the weight of the infinite archive.Rhea was sitting on a small couch in the corner, trying to rest her eyes.Suddenly, the red warn

    Thorne worked for Kai Crest. Many years ago, Kai had saved Thorne’s young daughter from a terrible disease using the Grid’s medical data. Thorne owed Kai a life debt. And Thorne never forgot a debt.Thorne stopped walking. He stood perfectly still in the shadows of the alley.He closed his eyes and listened. He heard the sound of the dirty water dripping from the pipes. He heard a rat scurrying across a pile of garbage. Scratch. Scratch. And then, he heard a sound that did not belong.It was the faint, high-pitched whine of an old, analog radio frequency.Thorne opened his eyes. He looked at a heavy, rusted iron door at the end of the alley. The sound was coming from behind that door.Thorne reached inside his dark coat. He pulled out a heavy, black revolver. It was an old-fashioned gun. It didn't use lasers. It used large, heavy lead bullets.He walked up to the iron door. He didn't knock.Thorne raised his heavy boot and kicked the door right next to the lock. BANG!The rusted meta
