- "Agent Kelso ..." The next voice was Bradley's. Anna didn't know the man
- as well as Temple, just by hearsay and reputation as something of a
- hard ass; he was a senior agent working liaison with the Secret Service and
- the Department of Justice. His presence underlined the gravity of
- what had happened. "I'm afraid we had to take your eyes."
- "What?" Her hand automatically reached upward. Pads of gauze covered her
- face, and in a sickening moment of understanding, she realized
- that the orbits of her skull were empty. Something hard and plastic protruded
- through the bandages from one of the sockets.
- "We can't talk like this. Wait a second." Bradley came closer and Anna heard
- the whisper of a cable uncoiling. Something connected with a snap
- and she felt a sudden giddy rush of vertigo as an image exploded before her.
- She saw a strange figure swaddled in bandages and crowded by electronic
- devices, like a hi-tech mummy. Monitors and an oxygen cylinder
- framed a bruised, puffy face. "I can see again." The figure mimed the words
- as she said them, and then the point of view shifted, taking in Ron
- Temple at the window, framed by sunlight. His round face was tight with
- concern. "Me. I'm looking at me."
- The view bobbed. "I'm running you a feed from my optic implants," said
- Bradley. A thin, brassy cable extended from inside his right-hand cuff
- and into a socket on the temporary eye interface.
