CHAPTER 13A few months later, Abby headed down to basement under the hospital and stopped in her tracks.
There were smells here—humans she didn’t recognise. She stepped closer and heard the steady, calm heartbeats of the hunters from inside the basement.
Widening her eyes, she pressed the emergency button to destroy all her data. The electromagnets hummed to life, wiping all the computers within range.
The room exploded into shouts. Hunters came running outside, saw her and moved their hands to their silver blades.
Abby’s cover was blown. She turned and ran, but pain erupted in her arms.
A long, silver lasso had caught her.
Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
The hunters were dragging her closer, their eyes as hard as their blades.
Blades.
Silver.
They’ll kill me!
