"Certainly," she acknowledged. "Follow me." With that she started 
leading the group toward the exact site of the kidnapping.

"Hey little guy." Terry said to Monty, "You seen Rho around?  You 
know, your carrier."  He held out his hands, offering him the chance to 
climb onto him. The little lizard just bobbed its head and scurried up 
Terry's arm and onto his head.

Moving into the quaranted sector, Ms. Dominic pointed to the 
smashed cellphone and PDAs. "These were the first clues that we 
found." She frowned. "We were lucky though. We'd triangulated their

disappeared into thin air."

"Unlikely," Sloavenski scoffed. "You sure they didn't have a hopper

"My guards along the perimeter would have noticed," Ms. Dominic 
answered flatly. "Even a stealth hopper couldn't have sneaked past 
them. No, they just disappeared."
