  I left her apartment in the early morning. This time it was much more peaceful; the way it should have been the first time. I called Martina on my wristband telecommunications device.

  “Do you have any idea what time it is?” she moaned.

  “No, that’s why I called. What time is it?”

  “Geez, you’re gonna have to do better than that to improve my humour.”

  “Ya gotta do me a favour Martina. I’ll pay you back, I swear. Anyway, I have some information that will be very interesting.”

  “What favour? What information? Slow down, it’s early.”

  “Do you have a meeting this morning?”

  “Yeah, how’d you know?”

  “I had one in the middle of the night last night, with my father. We’re doing a mission together.”

  “What, just like that!? What is it?”

  “I’ll tell you soon. Look, I forgot my ID card at home. Can you meet me at the PTP station entrance? We’ll talk.”
