“Do we have an obvious root? What was feeding power and which area did it come from?” That would take a bit to find, but meanwhile she was looking through her code again.

“I haven’t told you this yet, but that time the conduit blew up in my face? Those burns? That was what the Tal Shiar did to me while I was their prisoner for nine months. Stimulated parts of my brain to make me feel like I was on fire. Recovering from that was what I had done prior to coming from the Manhattan. So you pulling me out of that junction as fast as you were able meant that the pain stopped sooner. I’m grateful. And hell you keep saving my ass like you do and I’m going to owe you, or maybe I already do,” she said a mischievous grin slipped onto her face. “So you name it. One day, any day from now. You need a favour? You call me. I’ve been places, done things. I can make things happen,” she said her eyes still fixed on the screen.

Walker bit back a curse as he was looking through the records, seeing where the power flow had been routing from at the moment of the spike, when Faye said that. No one, not even his worst enemy, deserved that sort of punishment. He had been zapped and burned enough times accidently to know the pain that it could cause, but to experience it on end… He knew Faye was tough, but this was a whole new level.

“I will definitely take you up on that. Though to be honest, if I’m ever in a place where I am needing to call in that favor, the call might come through interesting channels,” he said with a chuckle.

“Dude, I’m suckered into Intelligence. You’d be surprised how little would surprise me,” she deadpanned.

“But that’s what colleagues, and dare I say friends, do. We cover each others backs.

Faye looked to him and smiled warmly. “So I’ve been learning. It’s like I’ve gone back to early childhood and am learning to play nicely on the playground,” she said breaking into a grin.

“Speaking of favors. Did I ever tell you about the favor the Bolian ambassador to Arcadia owed us, and how we called that one in?” Walker couldn’t help but chuckle as he remembered the story.

“No, but do dish the dirt. Tell me about the Bolians and I’ll tell you about Tortuga,” Calloway said as they hunted for the root of the power surge.
