Nydia continued to stare at him. She sighed. “You completed the mission, Cannon, all without failure, and a s**t load of bumps in the road. Congratulations.”
Without warning, Cannon felt a sucking motion at the back of his neck. Then, a high-pitched noise confirmed that it was the device that removed his implant from the prison. Now he had been released of the suicide bug.
Cannon rubbed the back of his neck, looking around at the henchman.
“But doing a good job comes with strings, Cannon,” Nydia continued. “I’m going to promote you to the commander of the elite force I told you about.”
Cannon was joyous over having his complete shifter. Nydia picked up her glass of wine, sipping between words. “You won’t be alone anymore, Cannon, and I’m going to remove the bug from Bolt next.”
