the boy and throw him to the floor. Awnya rushes me, but I grab her by the throat, then slam her to the ground beside her brother. Good to see the old fighting touch hasn’t
deserted me.
    The twins quickly and easily dealt with, I turn back towards the Groove Tube, fingers flexing, snarling viciously. But before I can focus, someone says, ‘Take one more step towards him and
I’ll fry you.’
    I pause and peer around the lab. At first I can’t see anyone. Then he moves and I spot him, standing close to the door which opens on to the courtyard. He takes several strides towards me
and his face swims into view. A burly man with brown hair and stubble, wearing a dark blue outfit that wouldn’t look out of place on a security guard. The last time I saw him, he was in
military fatigues.
    ‘
Rheilly?
’ I gawp.
    The soldier smiles tightly. ‘None other.’
    ‘What the hell are yhou doing here?’
    ‘The same as usual — guarding those who don’t deserve guarding.’
    Reilly stops a couple of metres from me. He’s holding some sort of a gun, but it doesn’t look like any I’ve seen before.
    ‘Step away from the Tube, B.’
    ‘Shkroo yhou, arsh hohl,’ I snap.
    His smile broadens. ‘That was one of the first things you said when we originally filed your teeth down, back when you revitalised. It’s like we’ve come full circle. I feel
nostalgic.’
    ‘Fhunny guy,’ I sneer, than tap the glass of the Groove Tube. ‘He killed Docktohr Sherverus.’

    ‘I know.’
    ‘Pohked his eye out, cut his head open and tuhcked in.’
    ‘I’m not a goldfish,’ Reilly sniffs. ‘I was there. I remember.’
    ‘Sho I’m gonna kill him. Retchribooshun.’
    ‘Don’t make me laugh,’ Reilly snorts. ‘You hated Dr Cerveris. His death didn’t matter to you in the slightest.’
    I shake my head. ‘Yesh, I hated him. But I didn’t whant to kill him. Rhage ish a shavage. Becaush ohf him, Mark and the othersh are dead.’
    ‘I know,’ Reilly says, softly this time. ‘That sucks, the way they slaughtered the revitaliseds. It’s one of the reasons I cut my ties with Josh and the rest after
they’d regained control of the complex. But Dr Oystein offered Rage a home when he came here, wounded like you were, in need of sanctuary, even though he wouldn’t admit it. Rage was
dubious, especially when he saw you. He wanted to kill you, like you want to kill him. But Dr Oystein protected you and promised to do the same for Rage while he was incapable of defending
himself.’
    ‘Don’t care,’ I growl. ‘Gonna kill him anywhay.’
    Reilly raises his gun.
    ‘Don’t tell me it’sh me ohr him,’ I groan.
    ‘No,’ Reilly says. ‘I’m not going to kill you. This is a stun gun. It fires spiked electrodes into your flesh, then fries you with a burst of electricity that would bring
down an elephant. You’re tough, B, but this will floor you for at least half an hour. Trust me, you do
not
want to put yourself through that. However bad your enema felt, it’s
nothing in comparison with this.’
    ‘Yhou were whatching that?’ I snarl.
    ‘Don’t worry,’ he grins. ‘I averted my gaze during the more sensitive moments. I’ve visited the great pyramids, Petra, the temples of Angkor Wat. Your bunghole
doesn’t rank high on my list of must-sees.’
    I laugh despite myself. ‘Yhou’re a bashtard, Rheilly.’
    ‘Takes one to know one,’ he retorts. ‘Now step away from the Tube and let the twins escort you to your quarters.’
    ‘What ihf I shay shkroo the quahrters? What ihf I don’t whant anything to do with idiotsh who give shelter to a monshter like him?’
    Reilly shrugs. ‘You need the Angels a lot more than they need you. Dr Oystein will be sad if you reject his offer of hospitality, but as for the rest of us, nobody will miss
you.’
    I come close to leaving. I’m on the verge of telling Reilly that he can marry Rage if he loves him that much. Then Awnya steps up beside me and shakes her
