''“I’ll summarize. It is a ‘be on the lookout’ notice sent to all PDF vessels. It says that he broke into PDF command on Highgate, may have gotten some information, or tampered with files there, was captured, and escaped. Quite a busy trip,”'' she went on to tell me. And followed it with, ''“Carter is a bit of a pariah now. Our information network was dealt a pretty serious blow when his intel got leaked. That said, I know how it happened. So I hold no grudge.

Shyla hadn’t been through hitting me with the bombshells. She’d lobbed another in my lap with, ''“And... there is something else. His name came up recently. But not in the context of the PDF. I was speaking with Ge You. He asked if I had heard of him. I was vague, mentioned what we all know… and You said something odd. ‘A man like that is probably in need of a friend wouldn't you think?’ I don’t remember what I said. We moved on to other business.
