Part 3
Slowly, Street lowered her weapon to the ground. "I'm going to turn around slowly," she announced. "I am an ANA agent," she added as she now faced the local police
officer, a man who looked almost too young to meet the age requirement for law enforcement. "I am going to slowly take my ID out of my pocket." Mentally, she
thanked Renee for insisting that she and Augur carry such credentials if they were going to watch Sandoval and Liam.

"Send a signal to Augur and Renee's global on a secure channel code 'Kincaid red,'" she ordered the computer as she carried the portal remnants to an analysis station. "Let's see what we've got."
