  145. About the Author

“No it isn’t,” replied Vox, and Grigor’s eyes settled once more on him. “When I say that I know everything about the Order, that means everything. That means I know about the Upierczi.”

Grigor leaned forward. “And what is it that you think you know?”

“I know why you really want the names of all the arms dealers … and it’s not to buy guns, no matter what LaRoque says.”

“No.”

“What’s a gun to someone like you? Maybe twenty years ago, maybe before you guys got your ‘upgrade.’ Yeah, don’t look so surprised, Grigor. I told you I know all about you. I know how strong you’ve become. I don’t think Charles LaRoque has a fucking clue.”

Grigor did not correct him this time.

Vox took another step. “I know that despite being called a ‘knight,’ the Red Order thinks of you as a slave. They treat you like slaves. You are slaves.”

In a pale and dangerous whisper Grigor said, “What else do you know?”

“I know that your slavery is about to come to an end. You want to break the chains. You want to stage a slave revolt that will make Spartacus and the gladiator rebellion look like a frat party.” Vox smiled. “Don’t you?”

Grigor’s eyes burned with red flame. “Yes.”

“And,” said Hugo Vox, “I want to make sure that happens. That … and so much more.”

Chapter Eighteen

Tactical Operations Center (TOC)

The Hangar

Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn

June 15, 12:49 a.m. EST

Jerome Williams—“Bug” to everyone—sat amid a web of computer terminals, screens, coaxial cables, encoding buffers, and other equipment, and all of it inside a big glass box. Two inches of reinforced glass and a sophisticated multiform entry scanner separated him from the fifty other people in the sprawling Tactical Operations Center. The TOC was a monument to computer-driven sophistication, and rising like an obelisk was the primary processing tower of MindReader. That, too, was safe behind the bulletproof glass and guarded by two unsmiling soldiers with M4s.

Bug glanced up from his keyboard at the flow of people in the TOC. Some were hunched over workstations connected through monitored sockets to MindReader’s servers; others spoke on phones or milled like frenzied insects, going about the thousand crucial tasks related to the current crisis.
