The Vigilantes (The Superiors)
““Small spaces scare me,” the boy said in a tiny voice.
“You never ride in cars?”
“Not in such a long time. I am a loner, yes, because I don’t fit into your society.”
“I can see that. Don’t be scared, Angel. We’re not going to hurt you. I can take the scanner out, see, it just takes a minute.”
Byron got in the car, unscrewed the scanning device and brought it out. Angel stood very still, but his body shook with small tremors as Byron scanned his eyes and hands and tongue. The boy... cooperated, all the while looking at Byron in a way very much like a small child frightened by the punishment he knows is coming.
“No match,” the screen flashed. Byron looked again to make sure. That had never happened. He looked at the boy again and then at the scanner. Angel really wasn’t a Superior, was he? Byron had assumed he had to be. But all Superiors would be in the system.MoreLess
