Sentinel: Is it done?
I stared at the text message for a long moment before thumbing back a
reply.
Me: Aye. It’s done.
Actually telling someone who knew me, knew my situation—or most of
it—made the weight of this new reality settle on my shoulders. I couldn’t
say it was comfortable. Maybe it wasn’t supposed to be.
Sentinel: How do you feel?
As if I had a ready answer for that? My thumbs hovered over the screen
for a long moment as I struggled to find something to say. My skin felt too
tight. Every inch prickled with awareness of the droves of people moving
about King’s Cross, boarding and debarking from trains. I’d tucked myself
into a corner, out of the flow of pedestrian traffic, with two points of egress
and a clear view of the board listing train platforms and statuses. Not that I
thought I’d need an escape route. Probably. But my training was too hard to
break.
I automatically assessed the people walking past me.
The thirtysomething career woman with the confident strut and a mobile phone at her
ear. The blokes in rugby kit on their way to a match in Manchester, gear
bags thrown over their shoulders. The guy with a watchful gaze I pegged as
off-duty law enforcement. The harried mum with a toddler on her hip racing
for the train to Cardiff. The middle-aged businessman escorting his aging
mum and frustrated with it.
It was instinct to categorize their potential threat level. Habit to make
note of every exit and potential source of weapons. Not that I needed any.
I’d been trained to be plenty deadly with nothing but my bare hands.
A massive BOOM shook the building.
Instantly, I dropped behind a nearby rubbish bin for cover as startled
pedestrians screamed.
What the bloody hell?
I scanned the station, searching for smoke and flames and carnage.
Finding none, my pulse ratcheted up further as I frantically tried to
assess the threat without sufficient data.
“Sorry! Sorry!”
I spotted a hubbub around one of the platforms further down. It had
been cordoned off for construction. I realized a cable had snapped, and a
steel girder had fallen from the arm of a crane. Not too far, thankfully, and it
seemed no one had been injured.
There was no bomb. No threat. At least, not the sort I was accustomed
to handling.
The dozens of curious glances sent my way proved I’d taken longer to
clue into that than the other travelers in the station. More than a little selfconscious, I rose to my feet, not meeting anyone’s gaze, lest the eye contact
invite conversation.
