A World Reborn: The First Outbreak (28 page)

“So, tell us; tell us where you
crazy bastards are going to attack next!” Melissa yelled.

“We have groups of ten in every
major city across the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, France
and Germany. These will be the first dominos in our worldwide plan. We have
coordinated ourselves so that at three in the afternoon, Eastern Time in the
United States, they will inject themselves and begin the uprising. As we sit
here, my brothers and sisters are spreading the Teacher’s great work across the
world.” The Ancillary said with a look of glee on her face. “And I’m afraid,
Witness, Roy, and my dear Agent DeWitt, there is absolutely nothing you can do
to stop it. The virus will be spreading right now. Go, talk to your people,
talk to your fellow agents, and you’ll know I’m telling the truth.”

Melissa stared at the Ancillary
with hate burning in her eyes. However, she managed to tear her gaze away to
look at DeWitt. He had pulled out his cell phone and was talking quietly in the
corner of the room. The Ancillary was silent. Melissa waited, sharing concerned
looks with Roy until DeWitt finished on the phone. He opened the door and looked
at Melissa and Roy.

“We need to go.” He said simply.
