Guinea Pigs? Allistair went silent. He glanced at Hawk again, the man's chins gleaning sunlight. Something nagged at his mind, a voice of sorts, grained and high-pitched like a fly. It told him who the guinea pigs were. But Allistair Lorne disproved it, denounced the thought, but again the voice nagged more.
'Allistair,' Auspex whispered. 'Is something wrong?'
The Commissar sured that Hawk wasn't looking at whispered back. "Something feels unsettled. You said there were two trouble makers this morning right?"
'Around the start of the morning bell. They were both sent to Hawk.'
"That worm." Allistair snarled to himself. "He plans on using the kids." He told Auspex.
'Sounds pretty harsh Allistair, are you sure?'
Hawk went into his office and came out with a small decanter. Allistair felt his rage grow. "Only one way to find out Auspex."
"So Allistair, care to see the test now?" Hawks boomed. He poured a highball for himself, smiling at him.
"You know I don't tolerate people exploiting their jobs Hawk."
"I know, believe me."
"Just wanted to make it clear to you." Allistair said flatly. He brought his hand underneath his PET and strocked the plasticard of his daughter, Ellein, and then settled on his legs.
