Chapter 2
It was a few weeks before Julia came to Kyt Harley's office in Yakana. He was closing the chapter on the Komodo syndicate, having run HPB's on the bodies. The only people to have escaped the sniper attack on the headquarters, besides Julia, were two lackeys running a mission on Mars and a liason to the Red Dragon syndicate. Kyt was still deciding what to do with the leftovers of the Komodo syndicate when Julia came to visit him.
Kyt didn't even hear the door open. He looked up and she was just standing there, noiseless as a ghost and looking as pale as one. He tapped his pen against his teeth, looking at her half-lidded eyes.
"We found a body."
"I know."
"We ran an HPB on it."
"I know."
"So you've been breaking into the morgue and tracking our files, huh?"
She shrugged. "That's not why I'm here."
He sighed. He'd hoped she would go her own way after all this. Agent Delaware wanted him to take care of all the loose ends, no matter how they'd gotten mixed up in the Syndicate.
"After my parents died, I started doing the fights. To make money, but. I needed something to do, you know." She turned her head to a window beside him. He realized it was something his father always did. It was the habit of someone always on their guard against possible attack. "I can't really think of anything to do besides Syndicate work. I was thinking you could help me. I overheard you talking to Delaware. I know he's trying to reinstitute the law as an effective force by disassembling the syndicates. I've been looking at all the files he has, most of which the White Tiger syndicate has already accessed, by the way. It's an ineffective campaign. I can make it more effective. I can be a spy."
Kyt just tapped the pen against his teeth.
"You know how I feel about the syndicates. You feel the same way. We can work something out. I can't just walk away from this."
"Yeah," said Kyt. "I know." He leaned back in his chair. "I don't want you to walk away."
