In a jar.
What did you do? Claires voice didnt sound at all like her own. She didnt even realize that shed said it out loud, until Myrnin looked directly at her.
What I had to do, he said. It wont work any other way. Its too dangerous. I cant risk anything like that happening again, and neither should you, Claire. Next time, we may not be so fortunate.
You killed somebody, she said. Her throat was so tight that she thought she might choke on the words. Oh, my God, you killed somebody and . . . put their brain . . . in
The point is that the barriers are up, Myrnin said. And we are safe. I did what I knew had to be done. But you mustnt tell him.
Tell who? Claire couldnt decide whether she was furious or terrified. Probably both.
Myrnin didnt answer.
The voice came out of her cell phone speaker, slightly muffled by her pocketan eerie, disembodied voice that nevertheless was familiar.
The last thing shed heard it say was Good-bye.
He means Shane, said Frank Collins. The brain in the jar. Dont tell Shane, Claire. This is going to have to be our secret.
