[ She already knows Amber's name. As far as Hei's concerned, she's in much deeper in his business than he'd prefer. He doesn't want her on Amber's radar. Not a flicker, or a blip. UB001 is like a golden spider, spinning webs of spycraft across Hei's entire life, every shiver of a strand alerting her to invaders who will fast become prey, It's her fault his team is dead. It's because of her that Pai is gone. To be around her -- even for a millisecond -- is to inhale toxins so dangerously secret that they fuse into your bloodstream.

[ It doesn't matter. He's already at the door. ]

[ A bored voice, a conductor saying Tickets, please for the hundred thousandth time. He doesn't stay to argue further. With a rustle of his coat, he's already gone. ]
