Shadows of Destiny

I knew my idea of using Amy was crazy.

It wasn’t as if I trusted her, but we needed people in their ranks.

It was a shame that Lilly did not take my kind gesture and chose to continue working against us.

I would have spared her, but she had shown me there was nothing worth saving about her.

I attached Kappa Wilson to Amy to get all the names of the people she knows in the organisation.

He was to submit the names to Sylvester when he was done.

We left the questioning room, and I linked Sylvester to find out where he was.

I felt a bit tired and knew I needed to rest before drilling Annika and Olga.

“Where are you?” I asked Sylvester through the mind link.

“Still in the lounge discussing our strategy,” he replied.

“I am sending you a recording of Amy’s questioning.

Make sure Devin and Leo are there because it involves them,” I linked him, and he was silent.

I wanted to spare him the trouble of recanting whatever he learns to Devin and Leo and move on with it.

It was best they heard Amy’s confession so they could understand the severity of the matter.

I emailed the voice recording to Sylvester and went to my bedroom.

Linda and Avery left me to retire to theirs.

I was hungry, and I needed to take a short nap.

I shifted the questioning of Olga and Annika to the following day.

As eager as I was to arrest Lilly, I did not want the idiot to know that we knew what she was playing at, but I had ordered Kappa Levi to ensure Sofia was in a more secure cell in case some people tried to break her out.

The names were disturbing.

Glenda’s father and Glenda were on the list.

I wondered if Susan was a part of it too.

The mention of their names made me want to look into why Susan left because the conversation between Glenda and Stephanie indicated Susan had no choice.

It might be nothing, but we needed all the information we could get.

Information is a weapon in an intellectual hunt, and this was an intellectual hunt.

I laid down on the bed and wondered if Sylvester had received the email and if they were listening.

“How did it go?” I heard Stephanie in my head, and it startled me a bit because she was the last person I expected to mind-link me.
