Buffer, connect her with her brother, and bingo, he's history.
And where does that leave us?"



Chloe hadn't known what to expect, but it wasn't that Ptolemais
would look like it had been through a war. For so long, the GC
had largely left Greece alone. Its being part of the United
Carpathian States contributed, she was sure. Nicolae would not
have wanted the publicity that
came with exposing Judah-ites in his own region. But the network
of believers had so flourished that eventually it was too big to

real GC used. Indifference was their mask. No eye contact, no
talking to each other loudly enough for anyone else to hear. A
serious look, close to a scowl, made them look all busi

ness. They had places to go and people to see, and their demeanor
discouraged cordiality and small talk.

From the GC Palace complex in New Babylon, Chang along, through
carefully placed confidential memos from pseudo high-ranking
palace Peacekeepers, had sparked a rumor in Greece that the brass
were sending a top guy to start cleaning up the mess there.

Chloe believed that GC forces who looked at Hannah and her twice
were not just lonely men. She assumed they assessed the uniforms
