Primo library, I have someone on my crew who believes she can learn the origins of the Void Wraith," Nolan said.
    The words had doomed him. Kathryn knew it instantly. She knew it before the fire receded, before the larva seized control of her nervous system. She could do nothing as her hand scythed out toward Nolan's throat. She knew he was dead, because Nolan wasn't a field agent. He'd never been trained to fight--only to think.  
    Kathryn's surprise was total when Nolan ducked to the right and batted her attack aside. He leapt backward, keeping the table between him. Even as the shock registered, she was vaulting the table, aiming a kick at his face. He snapped up a forearm, smoothly blocking the blow.
    "Take him alive," Reid screamed from the crowd behind her. She was aware of Delta moving toward her, and realized she might actually need his help to subdue Nolan.

Chapter 17- Run

    Nolan was shocked when his hand shot up of its own accord, knocking Kathryn's blow aside. He was even more surprised when he fended off the next several blows, backpedaling to gain room. Kathryn was a trained OFI field agent, and had several years experience in hand-to-hand combat. Nolan had three months of Fizgig's tutelage.
    Of course, Kathryn was nothing compared to Fizgig. Her speed wasn't as blinding, and she wasn't nearly as strong. She was, he realized, an opponent he might actually be evenly matched with. Especially if he used his plasma blade.  
    Then Nolan saw Delta, Doctor Reid's number one enforcer. Nolan and his crew had, he'd thought, rescued Delta during that long-ago attack on Coronas 6, and turned him over to Admiral Mendez. Nolan realized several things in that instant. After he'd handed Delta to Mendez, Mendez had probably given him right back to Reid. Delta had been a prisoner in name only, and everything Nolan had thought he'd accomplished back on that station was a lie.
    Nolan also realized that Kathryn was working with Delta, which meant she was working with Reid. There was only one way that could have happened. His suspicions were right. She'd been compromised by the Void Wraith.  
    Shit. Without a second thought Nolan turned and sprinted through the crowd, keeping as many people between himself and Delta as possible. He was aware of Kathryn pounding across the metal floor behind him, and he did his best to gain ground as he ducked past a startled family looking for a place to sit.
    "I hope we've got a quick escape plan," Nolan panted into his comm. He knew Hannan and Annie were probably watching, but there wasn't much they'd be able to do to intervene directly. Not without firearms. Station security was already moving to intercept--whether him, or his pursuers, was hard to tell.
    Nolan risked a glance over his shoulder, his bowels filling with ice water as he caught sight of Delta's face just half a dozen paces back. The enormous black man sprinted through the crowd, people dodging out of his path as he gained on Nolan. Delta's metallic arms had been painted a flat black, which somehow made them look even more lethal. Nolan vividly remembered being punched by one of those fists, and wasn't eager to repeat the experience.
    He scanned the path ahead, looking for options. There weren't any. Taking the escalator would slow him down enough for Delta to catch up, but he had to be on the lower level to get to the airlock. Nolan skidded to a halt next to the railing overlooking the promenade. The station had two floors, and it was about a twenty-foot drop from here to the next level.
    Nolan jumped, aware of Delta's fingers brushing his arm as he fell out of sight.
    He rolled with the landing, just like Fizgig had showed him. A sharp pain shot through his right leg, but thankfully the adrenaline suppressed it. He rolled back to his feet and started sprinting for the far end of the station. Shoppers stopped to stare, but not at Nolan; they were looking behind him, and Nolan didn't have to turn around to know why. He heard a
