The name was Dr. Samuel Cross.

Phoenix had it confirmed within an hour of finding the initial match. The two initials and last name initial lined up. The institutional affiliation matched a government scientific body that had been restructured and renamed twice in twelve years but whose personnel records from the original period were partially accessible through a declassified archive request Phoenix had submitted eighteen months ago for a different purpose entirely.

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 205 - DR CROSS

    The inside of the house was exactly what the outside suggested.Functional. Lived in. Books on every surface that had a flat area. Scientific journals stacked with the precision of someone who filed things mentally even when they didn't file them physically. A fireplace with a low fire burning. Two chairs angled toward it and a third against the wall that he pulled forward without being asked.He sat in one chair. Eva and I took the other two.He put the book down on the side table and took the reading glasses off his forehead and set them on top of the book. Everything deliberate. The movements of someone who was composing themselves without appearing to compose themselves."You're Dr. Samuel Cross," I said."Yes," he said."You wrote the letter," I said."Yes," he said. "I wasn't certain you'd respond. I've been watching the investigation develop and trying to assess what kind of operation you ran. Whether you were the kind of people who would follow a letter from an unknown source

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 204 - THE DRIVE NORTH

    We left at eight in the evening.Eva drove the first two hours. I took over after that. The road north was mostly empty once we cleared the city. Long stretches of highway with flat land on both sides giving way to coastal terrain as we moved further north. The sky was clear and the temperature was dropping and by the time we reached the coastal region proper there was frost on the road edges.Phoenix was on a continuous monitoring channel. Not talking constantly. Just present. Available if something developed.Hayes knew we were moving. I'd briefed her before we left. She had no operational role tonight but she knew the location and the timeline and if we didn't check in by six in the morning she had instructions.Reaper knew too.I'd gone to his room before leaving. He was awake. He usually was in the evenings now. The treatment protocol had stabilized his sleep patterns somewhat but evenings were still his active hours and we'd both stopped fighting that.I told him where we were g

The institutional affiliation matched a government scientific body that had been restructured and renamed twice in twelve years but whose personnel records from the original period were partially accessible through a declassified archive request Phoenix had submitted eighteen months ago for a different purpose entirely.Sometimes the work you did for one reason served a different reason later.Cross had been a senior research director at the body for nine years. His published work before that was substantial. Dimensional physics. Quantum boundary theory. The specific intersection of those two fields that produced the theoretical foundation for understanding nexus individuals at a scientific level.He was one of the people who had helped build the scientific understanding of what nexus individuals were before most of the world knew they e

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 202 - THE ADVERTISEMENT

    Phoenix finished his sentence."We could be walking into something built specifically around the investigation's momentum," he said. "Someone who knows we're active and capable and uses the Dalton exposure as a hook to pull us toward a meeting we can't fully prepare for.""Yes," I said. "That's possible.""But we place the advertisement anyway," he said."We place the advertisement anyway," I said. "Because the alternative is ignoring the one lead that points above Dalton and waiting for the next thing to find us instead."Phoenix accepted that. He didn't like it fully but he accepted it because the logic was sound and he was someone who followed sound logic even when it made him uncomfortable.Eva drafted the advertisement that afternoon.The format the letter specified was a personal message column. Four lines maximum. The wording the writer had requested was specific. A phrase that would read as ordinary to anyone scanning the column without context and would read as confirmation t

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 201 - THE LETTER

    The letter arrived on a Thursday.Physical mail. Handwritten envelope. No return address. Postmarked from a city three hundred kilometers north. It was addressed to me specifically using my full name and the compound's address. Not a public address. Not something available through any official channel.Someone knew where we were.I opened it at the kitchen table with Eva and Phoenix sitting across from me. I'd learned a long time ago not to open unexpected physical mail alone. Not for safety reasons primarily. For witness reasons. Whatever was in it I wanted people I trusted to have seen it at the same moment I did.The letter was two pages. Handwritten in small precise script. No date at the top.I read it once quickly to get the shape of it. Then I read it again slowly.Then I put it on the table and let Eva and Phoenix read it.The letter was from a man who identified himself only as a former senior analyst for a government scientific body I recognized immediately. Not Dalton's pro

    The Dalton investigation became official on a Tuesday.Forsythe's office released a formal statement confirming an active inquiry into a classified defense program and the involvement of a senior elected official. No names in the statement. Standard procedure for an active investigation. But within forty eight hours every major news outlet had Dalton's name and a version of the story that was incomplete but pointed in the right direction.Dalton issued a denial the same afternoon. Measured. Professional. Prepared in advance which meant he'd known it was coming for at least a week. He called the allegations fabricated and politically motivated and said he welcomed a full and transparent review of his record.His lawyer was on television that evening.I watched it with Eva in the common room. Neither of us said much. The legal process was going to take the time it took and there was nothing we could do to accelerate it and nothing Dalton could do to stop it given the redundancy of the d
