Secrets, Surveillance, and Survival in Technomancer

An excerpt from Technomancer.


“Elara!” Finn called out sharply as he watched one of the feeds from the neighborhood spy-cams he had set up. The three-person team in cheap business suits were too well organized to be random pollsters. He watched as they stopped people on the streets, showed them a paper, and then asked a couple of questions before moving on.

“What is it, Finn?” Elara asked as she sauntered into the living room with a towel around her shoulders. She was wearing the loose t-shirt and silken lounge pants he had purchased for her, looking much too attractive to be a fugitive from the government.

“I think people are looking for us,” he said as he watched the video. “This group is two blocks over, but they are looking for someone.”

Elara leaned in, looking at his phone with him.

Finn breathed in her scent. It was pure and clean, not some fragrance of soap he had stocked, but her own intoxicating smell. Finn shook his head. Now was not the time for distractions.

“We should get going,” Finn said.

Elara looked at him. They were almost ready anyhow. “I’ll get changed.”
