Our hero being pursued by his own company and 2IC “They tell me you’ve completed not telling me what happened, the therapy program, Drake.” “Why did you run?” They tell me that, too. Don’t Come on, Dad. I’ve already told know that it did much good; still you I’m sick of being with the don’t know what’s going on. company. They finally believe me “There aren’t supposed to be that I’m not talking to other multis. any lingering effects.” I want to try some stuff on my own I know that, but we still don’t is all. know effects of what. I woke up “I’ve got a bad feeling, Drake. hereJ^el^slee^here^n^hey^^^Yoi^arVtjus^isaggearJfor^wo Busy Schedule?. Continental • V, «? . Breakfast _. T4Pl J3 aJt-ftjd.* 4 days. The company’s got to know, but they won’t talk.” * ' ♦ * ♦ • So I’m done with the psycho programs but they are still holding me, residual symptoms or some thing. I think they just want to watch, make sure I don’t disappear again. When I get out of here, I’m going to be gone, far away where there aren’t any multis. I might have gone back, but after all this it will never happen. They’ve got to let me go sooner or later. That’s the weird thing. The multis make their own laws, have their own courts. No one else can touch me on the street, but they can send in a sec team anytime and whoosh!, there I go. * * * • ♦ "Mister Watson, are you familiar with the Illinois Industrial Con glomerate?” 2IC? Heard of them, yeah. Sup posed to be on the edge of all kinds of stuff, micro implants, se>me of the new gene enhancements, eve rything. "Ever wanted to work for them?" Not particularly. Actually, I’m thinking of getting out. He gave a contemptuous snort, which reminded me of an old in structor. “They seem to be inter ested in you.” I didn’t say anything, just tried not to wither under his glare. “They want you, Mr. Watson.” Don’t they know I’m done with the multis for a while? “This is a tough one, Watson. We’ve been holding a few things back, trying to make sure. We have wanted you all along, but only for your own safety.” Oh really? You withholding from me? The good-guy face appeared again. “Don’t be angry. We had to, Drake. We did bring you here, but we did not find you sleeping. Someone else found your little hole and got you there. You had been out about two days when we found you.” Now things are getting crazy. You think it was 2IC? “We heard from them yester day.” This is brilliant. My own com pany kidnaps and confines me, forces me through therapy. Then they turn me loose, only I stay with them because another company is after me. It’s too much. Turns out Lincolnland Towing International wasn’t the bad guy at all. They still want me back but won’t hold me. Where am I going to go? 2IC is after me, has already gotten me and done who knows what. If LLT doesn’t know, no one does. And I’m back in therapy, this time at my request. A couple days back, I started having problems. Little stuff, blackouts, dreaming, wild visions, other peoples’ talk in my head. At least with the new government acid, you know' what’s going on.
