They knew it all.
They knew Blade, the Network. My father. My mother. They knew she was alive. Of course I’d known the Bennetts found me, but I hadn’t thought about it. I hadn’t wanted to.
Tanner pulled me down a flight of stairs, and I tripped again, almost falling, but he caught me and steadied me.

“How long?” I rasped. It seemed the only way I could talk since they’d taken me. “How long have you known?”
He didn’t answer, a vein bulging in his neck. We turned a corner, and there was another door in front of us. He banged on it, stepping back until it opened from the inside. More guards came out. There were always guards.
He motioned inside.
