“I may not be around for a few days,” I said, giving him a bare synopsis of the Human Race.
Zev didn’t show any flicker of recognition about the game, nor did he seem at all interested. “As I said, I’ll look into the quote.”
I raised an eyebrow.
No word of warning about testing his patience by making something else my priority? Was he going after the amplifier without me? This artifact had caused such misery in my life that I wasn’t sure I wanted anything to do with it, and yet, I felt entitled to answers.
However, I couldn’t hang around snooping after Zev.
Summarily dismissed, I headed back to my car, texting Tatiana’s address to Eli with the message to meet me there. Ryann had been a bust, Nav didn’t know anything about the Human Race, and Zev either didn’t know or didn’t care.
Tatiana was our last hope to find Teresa. I shook my head. Negative thinking wouldn’t get me anywhere.
Visualize a goal: I crashed the Human Race and all I got was this crummy T-shirt. Much better.
