waking up with a
headache most days.”
“They’ll transmit anywhere from five
to eight days and then they would need to be replaced with new
nanos.”
“Five to eight days is a big range.
How come?” asked Grace.
“It depends on the individual’s body
chemistry,” said Jett.
“We’ll have to be careful about the
data we download. It will have to be sorted through and stuff
that’s unrelated to criminal activities will need to be deleted
from the record. We can’t go to court with hours and hours of stuff
like them watching TV or brushing their teeth and taking showers.
But everything else is admissible,” she said.

Six
The minute Suzanna had arrived with
her mother Carol; Addie invited Carol to meet the dogs. Dogs loved
everyone unconditionally and Addie knew it would help put Carol at
ease. The guys went to unload Suzanna and Carol’s things from the
van.
While Heidi and Carol played with the
dogs, Addie took Suzanna aside and told her what happened to Gilda
and her granddaughter, Marta, in greater detail. And then went on
to explain what she needed Suzanna to do next.
“Addie, of course I’ll go. I just
don’t know how my mother will be with me gone. This is yet another
new place, and I’m the only face she recognizes,” said
Suzanna.
“Let’s go tell her you have an errand
to help some friends of mine and see how she reacts,” said
Addie.
They walked over to where Carol was
laughing at the antics of the dogs. Suzanna approached her. “Mom, I
have to drive back into the City as a favor to Addie and pick up
two other ladies. Will you be okay here with Addie and Heidi and
the dogs?”
Carol Miller’s face fell. “You’re
going to leave me here with strangers? No! No! No! I want to go
with you. I’ll go with you; just let me visit the powder room, and
I’ll be set. Don’t you leave without me,” she said. Then Heidi
offered to show her where the bathroom was.
Suzanna turned to Addie and shrugged
her shoulders in an ‘oh, well, what could I do’ way and said, “I
guess she’s coming along.”
Addie was concerned about them
entering into a dangerous situation, so she asked Arjun to give
Suzanna one of his stun sticks and show her how to use it. She
could still remember Jalen using one on her.
Suzanna then decided the van was
better than her car for their purpose, but she went ahead and
switched the license plates. If she got pulled over for having the
wrong type of plates, she had her special ID to deal with that.
Rune then decided to tag along as extra support and offered to
drive; it would expand his knowledge of the roads.
They were on the road again within
twenty minutes of arriving at Addie’s. Suzanna turned to Rune and
said, “I just realized. My car is lo-jacked; in other words, it can
be tracked by GPS. If my supervisor wants to know what I’m up to,
they may check out my car.”
“I understand. But aren’t you on
leave?” he asked.
“Yes, so I’m not worried. But to be
safe, we should move the car to the retirement home or an apartment
complex,” said Suzanna.
“That might be best. However, Addie
had the idea of making it look like the men Grace is after were the
originators of our Earth to ship and ship to Earth transmissions.
So when Justyn is ready to go to the City tonight, perhaps I can
borrow it?” he asked. “As if you are following up a lead,” he
added.
“That might work. Hold off on making
any transmissions until we get a chance to link into the satellite.
If they interrupt another transmission, I will get a phone call. I
want them to be able to reach me. Then you can be my legs, so to
speak, down here,” she said.
“Actually, that’s the idea. To make
one more transmission exchange originating at the place where Grace
is working undercover, so it will be tracked there,” he
said.
“I get it, okay, that will work. Then
stop all other messages until we get the satellites fixed. Jett’s
giving up a signal booster to install
headache most days.”
“They’ll transmit anywhere from five
to eight days and then they would need to be replaced with new
nanos.”
“Five to eight days is a big range.
