“I know. See you in three days,” I say as I set the timer on my smartwatch. “It should be more than

enough time to get Fire Fly out and safely make it to the extraction point”

“Be careful,” Wasp says before ending the phone call.

I remove the sim card before smashing the phone with the heel of my shoe and throwing it in the hin

between my ribs. Did I get injected with something? A man says into my ear. “If you don’t want me to

traceable once connected, making me paranoid that I could be discovered if I attempted to access what

was contained on the pen drive. So I hid it the day I ran away from home. I doubt anyone will find it

The man shoves the barrel of his gun harder, making me wince in pain. “Start walking. Behind the train

station is a parking let; we are going there.”
