Balik could be brutal. He demanded respect–for
him, for the massive organization that was HS, for our cause. And he demanded
wins. That was the hard part–fighting the GG forces that were far better
equipped than us, surviving their raids and assaults and winning in the
end–didn’t happen that easy.
“My best soldier,” Balik showed me a chair as he stretched on the red
silk-wrapped couch at the corner. “What new plans have you got? Give me some
good news.”
That was what I wanted to share with him–my next venture–the “Smokescreen.” Once Balik approved it, I had to start setting the smaller wheels in motion, and then build it up until in a few months–
“You want to shut down their ventilation system?” Balik whispered gawking, as he pulled off those dark glasses he always wore. His eyes, one brown and the other a pale gray, shone with excitement. “Sure you can pull this off?”
I nodded. “I’ve to start by rerouting the terminator boxes on Coogan’s Hill. I’ll load most of the malcode from there.”
“All right. When can you begin?”
“Day after tomorrow. Have to lay my father first.”
“Oh, yes. Go do it.”
“Okay.”
“And I don’t need to remind you this, but don’t get identified. I won’t have a marked operative back among us.”
“Understood.”
He didn’t have to remind me of the consequences, he knew I’d never forget Dobin.

Basu likes to call herself a middle aged host to a forever-young heart–a heart
that is addicted to dreaming.
Being
an engineer by training, the worlds of futuristic fantasy that she weaves in
her books spring from her interest in science and her love of engineering.
She
enjoys traveling to faraway places–her writing inspired by the people she meets
in these beautiful lands. Her stories are also a celebration of the influences
from her travels around the world.
Ms.
Basu is also an avid nature photographer. When she is not busy writing, she
enjoys gardening, music and spending time in the outdoors with her family.
