章節 16: Cora
Fenwick Copeland. We broke him out of the prison in Stonebourn when he was just a boy, only twelve years old. He lived with us for a while and then started training to be a Guardian when he turned sixteen. I treated him like a son, and even promoted him to Admiral when he finally finished his training. I can't believe he betrayed me. After all I did for him?
"What happened Iris? How did you meet these recruiters?" She handed me one of the Recruiters satchels and started explaining everything to me. She explained how she got lost in the woods and was attacked by the Recruiters in her sleep. She explained the hawk. I grabbed Iris by the wrist and started half walking, half running to the conference room. Fenwick was supposed to give a presentation to his superiors today, but I wasn't going to give him the chance to. I yanked the door open and open and led Iris inside. Fenwick was setting up his presentation when he saw us. He looked up at me in confusion, "Hello, Officer Hendrix. Is something wrong."
"Yes, something is wrong, Admiral Copeland. Maybe you can explain to me what this is?" I handed him the crumpled up map. He took it and uncrumpled it, "It's a map. Of Gratia Island." I took it back from him, "The Guard has not made any maps of this island, for it could end up in the hands of the enemy. So, can you explain to me why I am holding a map of our camp in my hand right now?"
He looked down at his hands and swallowed nervously, "I'm sorry. I don't know officer."
"Oh, but I think you do. You see, my friend Iris here ran into some Recruiters in the woods. They tried to capture her and she entranced the hawk into attacking the Recruiters. She entranced the woman Recruiter and you wanna know what she told us. She told us all about the spy that's been leaking information to them for a year. She told us his name too."
His expression turned sour and he started to panic. Then he disappeared. Fenwick was a Photokinetic. He could control light, and because I oversaw his training I knew that he could control the light around himself and turn invisible. I instinctively lunged at empty air and felt my hand brush something, but he slipped away. Then he appeared again, but he was completely still. I looked back at Iris and she was squinting her eyes in concentration, her arms stretched out in front of her. She made him put his hands behind his back and I took the hint. I took one of the pairs of suppressioncuffs from the satchel and bound his hands. Iris relaxed and let go of Fenwick. Two Guards came forward and took control of him. He was struggling to get free and cursing at me.
"I thought you were different. We rescued you from that prison and this is how you repay us. You're a disgrace to the Guard. You're going back where you belong. Prison."
