About the Author
Chapter 1
London, 1951
LEO RO
1951, London
A fortune cookie from my neighborhood Pho shop, definitely didn’t come from the 1950s. How? They didn’t even have fortune cookies back then?
I don’t know how. But the temporal analysis leaves little room for debate.
I’m a doctor now. I think I’m qualified to debate you.
I rake my fingers through bronze hair and adjust the bowtie sitting around my neck.
No debates.
Fine,
Bay sighs, Leo…
Hm?
I’m trying the name out. Nothing wrong with that?
No. Nothing wrong.
My watch vibrates. A little system’s upgrade from the commission adds an element of subtlely to the otherwise clunky device.
We ought to leave Cade, the useless human girl, to die and find Yx. I see you’re caught up in romantic notions much like Zel. I love the woman, make no mistake, but if we have to listen to Bay Mackie around here, we’ll shave our heads, cut a slit in our eyebrows and pierce our damned nipples.
I smirk. Not a bad idea from Ro, but I’m tired of listening to the symbiote. His pull on my psyche hurts my head. I knew there would be an adjustment, but now it’s happening, the clamor of the memories and voices overwhelms me.
We need to find the Parasite, but searching for Cade isn’t a waste of time. She’ll have clues about Yx. When did he leave her body? Where did he go?
Stop smiling to yourself like a maniac,
Bay says, Look around you! London! It stinks, I’ve gotta say.
It’s the 1950s. Every time has a particular smell.
Do they pump coal directly over the city?
If you think it smells now, you’d have hated the 1850s.
Pretty sure I would have been a slave.
Not in England. And don’t joke like that.
It’s not a joke. I get you’re an alien, but look it up, slavery happened.
We need to focus, Bay…
What’s that?
Our destination. King’s College, London.
You think Cade’s there?
I’m getting strange readings. It’s either her, or some kind of alien.
It’s her! Newsflash, E.T., there aren’t any aliens on Earth in the 1950s.
I laugh.
No aliens on Earth in the 1950s? Earth crawled with aliens. Fengari hovering over New Mexico, making fools of themselves. Devorans abducting climbers from Mount Everest. Observers from Tau watching the space race unfold.
What the hell is so funny?
Doctor Mackie, there have been aliens on Earth far longer than you can imagine.
She slips her hand in mine and squeezes. Ro shifts around my heart and the pulse sends a wave of pleasant euphoria over me. Bay’s touch moves us.
You’re different from him,
she whispers.
Yes. I am.
I want to ask if that’s a problem, but I’m not Zel. I’m more timid around her, made shy by the intensity of my feelings for her, which came to this body suddenly but feel ancient, like I’ve loved her forever and will never stop.
You think Cade might be at a university?
I think Yx dropped her somewhere he thought I wouldn’t go — somewhere far from where he really is.
Oh-kay. If you say so. But this place looks wack. Sorry, Leo… I’m loyal to Cambridge now. I don’t think this dusty old university will help us.
Hmph.
We enter the building. A short 30-year-old woman with black hair pulled back into a coiffed updo stares at us.
Can I help you?
she snaps.
I recognize her. No… he didn’t. If he was here, Yx messed with one of the most critical moments in Earth’s history.
