“So Shadowman's not in the Cape Cells… me and him, we didn’t exactly get along well that last conversation,” I admit.“You can find him,” Technico says. “Skye can find him as long as he’s not roaming the shadows, but you can find him, regardless.”“Can you?”“I can find his phone—but the moment I do, he’s usually switching to another one. Your dad is paranoid, for good reason.”“So you want me to focus on Shadowman, while you take out Herold?”“That about sums it up,” he agrees.It’s dangerous—but not as dangerous as a lot of the stuff I’ve done in the past. “If I find him, how am I going to stop him? He’s a lot older than I am, and he’s more powerful, right?”“He is,” Nico says. “And there’s a good chance he’s got a technopath behind him, just like you do. We just need to take that into account—”“But—” I jerk, since I wasn’t the one that said that. There, standing in the hall, is Carla, her hand over her mouth.“You should be in bed,” I say automatically. “You’ve got classes in the morning.”“Classes don’t matter!” she says, stepping into the room. “You’re just planning on running off on your own to find Shadowman, right? You could get caught—or killed!”“He won’t kill me, I’m his son."
