Fascinated in spite of myself, I watched as buyers from all over the world exited their vehicles. Some looked like us, in their tuxedos and gowns. Others wore garb reminiscent of their cultures: robes of gold, tartan kilts, rich crimson pajama-like outfits embroidered with Kanji. The last one brought to mind Mai Matsu and the attack in Tokyo. That poor girl was fighting for her life in a Swiss hospital, all because people thought she was Created. Assaults similar to hers would become common place if the Treaty failed. And without UNITED there to intervene, who would help people like Mai Matsu? No one. It was a sobering thought. “Focus, Tals.” Erik’s voice filled my mind. “Don’t get worked up over things you can’t change now. Slay one dragon at a time.” I smiled. My boyfriend, the voice of reason. Two times in one day, in fact. That had to be some kind of record. “You guys are on.” Chaz’s warning came only a split second before the car door was yanked open. A man in his mid-thirties greeted us with a clinical smile and monotone that suggested he’d said the same lines several dozen times that day already.
