Tracer
“I’ve counted them out. Twice.
There’s a camera in the ceiling, enclosed behind tough plastic. The white light from the thin fluorescent strips on either side of the camera captures and destroys any shadows it finds. Beyond the transparent barrier at the front of the cell, the brig is dark. The sound of the station is muted here, dwindling to almost nothing.
Turns out there were six stompers, not three. I’m still not sure how they knew where I was going to be. I can only guess that I mus...t have been caught on a surveillance cam somewhere: when so many have failed over the years, you forget that there are some that still work.
The moment they grabbed me, I started demanding to know what they wanted, but all I got was an order to shut up, and they marched me right back into Apogee, to the same prison that Darnell was in yesterday. There was a small crowd outside the prison. They started shouting the moment they saw me, but I was hustled straight through and pushed into the cell.MoreLess
