I askedI was holding my palm on the side of Elizabeth's head, feeling the smoothness of her hair as I had often felt the smoothness of my daughters' after it had been shampooed; when memory takes its strongest hold, our own bodies become ghosts, haunting us with the gestures of our younger selves"How do I talk about a process that's at least partially supernatural?"

I shook my head, shaking the thought away “What are we in such a hurry to get?” Jared asked me I took a deep breath before I answered him The south tunnel was blackI could not see his faceHis footsteps did not falter beside me, and he didn't say anything for several minutesWhen he spoke again, I could hear that he was focusing on the raid–single-minded, setting aside whatever curiosity he felt until after the mission was planned to his satisfaction “Where do we get them?” “Empty cryotanks are stored outside Healing facilities until they're neededWith more souls coming in than leaving, there will be a surplusNo one will guard them; no one will notice if some go missing “Are you sure? Where did you get this information?” “I saw them in Chicago, piles and piles of themEven the little facility we went to in Tucson had a small store of them, crated outside the delivery bay “If they were crated, then how can you be sure –” “Haven't you noticed our fondness for labels?” “I'm not doubting you,” he said“I just want to make sure that you've thought this through I heard the double meaning in his words “Let's get it done, then Doc was already gone–already with Jeb, as we hadn't passed him on the wayHe must have left right behin |
