I huddled in the corner, Vera beside me, and thought back over the past few weeks, of how hubris had made humanity an endangered species.
I recalled the meeting with the minister, my heart stopping as I found a pair of bloody future predators flanking him like some Praetorian guard. He had dismissed my fears about them getting lose, echoing Leek’s belief.
Power mad, both of them.
I still remember the look on the minister’s face when the red lights died, not that he had lived long to regret his mistake.
Indeed, I had only survived due to Becker’s presence.
