“You can’t see me, can you?”

She could hear the quotations around his remark, see the grin on his face and the fact that he was handcuffed behind the chair. But he was right, she could not see him. If she just shut her eyes (and ignored his comments), he would be nothing but a blank spot in the room, meaning as much to her mind as one of the wooden pieces of furniture in the interrogation room.

Odd. She had heard of ‘blockers’ before, but had never run into one during her duty with the Investigations Unit. She would be no help here.

“What’s the matter? Can’t read my mind?” He was smirking at her now.

“As a matter of fact, I cannot. Which means that you will have to be interrogated the old-fashioned way. I hope whatever you did was worth it.”

He laughed. “You don’t think I can wait them out?”

She gave him one last look as she turned to leave. “Oh, I am sure you can. It will be the team that visits after I call and tell them of your illegal hardware that you should be worried about.”
