Marcus Kline leapt up the stairs. Two at a time. Black tie fluttering over his shoulder. So far, he had managed to avoid tripping the alarm. Thunderous classical music pumped through the Weapons Development Building’s speaker system without interruption. Too loud for pleasure, the music offered an auditory layer of security, keeping covert conversations from prying ears.
Los Alamos National Laboratories. Birthplace of the Manhattan Project. Now, a defense and sciences Mecca. Hundreds of the smartest people on earth. Scientists on the bleeding edge. Nut cases in any other setting, but heroes here. Kline needed information from one of the scientists—Rahul Banerjee, a physicist tasked with conceptualizing secret weapons for the United States.
Kline and his partner, Eric Randolph, had traveled back through time to 2008. Their objective: find Banerjee’s files related to “cloaking” technology. After searching LANL’s network for three days they’d managed to get…nothing. The clandestine approach wasn’t working.
Time for plan B.
