I don’t want to get you in trouble.” “It’s fine. This is important, trust me. I know of a way that… well, they can’t trace what you’re watching.” “Okay, I guess.” I bite my lip. “When do you want me to watch it?” He swallows, and his hands fiddle with a thin bracelet. The kind the Firsts, like Socrates, wear.
