- The replay Jensen had seen in Wilder’s memory buffer confirmed
- without question that TF29 had been penetrated by the Illuminati, and he
- knew how they worked. The shadowy cabal wouldn’t just have people at
- the highest levels, they would place their agents on the ground as well.
- They’ll have a traitor in the room.
- He stepped out from behind the racks of black crates, holding the
- machine pistol on Vande. “Nobody move.”
- [...]
- I took out a team in the front carriages,” began Jensen. “They had a
- laser cutting rig. Odds are your friends on the other side of that hatch will
- have one as well.”
- “My what?” Vande’s eyes narrowed. “You appear out of thin air with a
- weapon in our faces and you’re implying I’m in on this attack?” She
- grimaced. “I have shot people for lesser insults than that.”
- “It’s true.” Chen gave a weak nod. “I’ve seen it.”
- “I came here to warn you,” said Jensen. “After what happened at the
- airport, I uncovered a new lead… a woman called Jenna Thorne. Know the
- name?” He subtly activated his CASIE implant, using the aug’s built-in lie
- detector to monitor the two TF29 agents for any sign of recognition. The
- software registered nothing. “She’s Homeland Security, but that’s just a
- cover. My guess is she’s working for the people bankrolling the smuggling
- network that TF29 have been chasing. They want this hardware, and after
- you guys stopped them airlifting it out of Detroit… they’re taking a more
- proactive approach to recovering it.”
- Vande risked a glance over her shoulder. “This Thorne… she’s one of
- them?” A thin wisp of white smoke curled from one of the lockdown
- clamps around the hatch, and the metal began to turn red-black with heat.
- “You were right. They’re burning their way in.”
- “Yeah.” Jensen made a judgment call and let the Hurricane’s muzzle
- drop.
