It was two days later when I walked into Manticore and I immediately knew
something was wrong. It was two quiet and everyone kept looking at me,
giving me these sad looks. I staightened my posture and kept going until I
made to my office. I opened the door and scrambled in shutting it behind
me.
"That was your first strike Yancy, you only get two more chances." A voice said from behind me.
I turned to find my boss, Jake Mathison sitting at my desk. Thick greyish white smoke curled around his head coming from his cigar. He was overweight with nearly translucent blue eyes and thining blond hair. He gave me the creeps.
I smiled sweetly repressing a shudder and said. "It wasn't my fault that she got away, it was your mens fault. Tell me, did you reprogram Brin yet?"
He stood. "I gave you this asignment because I thought you could handle it, but if I find that you can't you will be terminated. Do you get me?" He asked shaking a pudgy finger at me.
I nodded and said. "Yes sir."
"By the way, she was spotted heading toward California, I would get on it if I were you." He said opening the door.
"Yes sir, right away." I said to his back.
When the door closed I slumped down in my chair and tried to think. Why was she heading to California? Was there someone out there?
I pressed the intercom(sp) and Laura, my faithful assistant said. "Yes Ms. Cassidy, is ther something you need?"
"Yes," I said. "I want Max followed, if she does anything I want to be told."
"Right away Ms. Cassidy. Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I also want to know how Brin is doing, get the information."
When that was all taken care of I leaned back in my chair and rested my head against the cushion. That would have to do for now, I would get Max, it was only a matter of time...
