We’re here for the tracking device implants. I’m assuming it will be similar to my birth control in my upper arm.
Inside the Castle, the ceiling is painted with old battles, and the floors are marble. There are guards stationed everywhere, and as Max wraps his arm around me, I press closer to his side while trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
When we turn into a hallway, a man in his early fifties comes toward us. He’s dressed in an immaculate suit with an air of authority coming from him in waves.
“Director Koslov,” Max says as he reaches a hand out to greet the man in charge of St. Monarch’s.
Director Koslov smiles at Max. “Mr. Levin, it’s always a pleasure to have you visit us.” His dark brown eyes flick to me. “Miss DuBois, my condolences for your loss. Your father was a good man.”
“Thank you,” I murmur, the smile I’ve perfected over the years on my face.
Director Koslov gestures toward a door. “This way, please.”
When we step inside the room, it looks like an infirmary. A man who seems to be a doctor greets us with a nod.
“Tracking implants?” he checks with Max, and when he nods, the doctor asks, “Where do you prefer I place the devices?”
Max thinks for a moment, then takes hold of my hand. “Behind her left ear.”
The doctor gestures at the nearest bed. “Please take a seat, Miss DuBois.”
I give Max a nervous glance as I climb onto the bed. The doctor takes hold of my hand and cleans the skin with an antiseptic wipe before picking up an injection.
The pinch is sharp as he pushes the needle beneath my skin, and a couple of seconds later, it’s done.
Director Koslov moves to stand next to Max. “You should be able to access the chip’s location. Let’s test it.”
Max pulls his cell phone out, and after a minute, he says, “I’ve got her.”
Yes, you do.
When it’s Max’s turn, I ask, “Will I be able to see the tracking device’s location on my phone?”
“Yes,” Director Koslov answers. “We’ll download St. Monarch’s program onto your device and give you a password. Max will show you how to use the app.”
I watch as the microchip is injected in the same spot as mine, then I smile. “We got matching tracking devices.”
Director Koslov lets out a chuckle, but Max just shakes his head at me as he mutters, “Only you would find that romantic.”
“Let’s go to my office,” Director Koslov gestures to the doorway, then asks, “Do you have your cell phone on you, Miss DuBois?”
“Ahh…I kind of misplaced it.”
Max takes my hand and rubs his thumb over my skin. “Besides the tracking devices, we’re here for an encrypted cell phone.”
Oh, I like the sound of that.
We follow Director Koslov into a luxurious office, then I see the cabinets filled with guns lining the wall behind a huge oak desk. He gestures to a seating area, and as we sit down, he walks to a vault and opens it.
I can’t see inside, but he comes out with a tray of cell phones. “Which one do you prefer, Miss DuBois?”
I glance over the devices and choose a Samsung that folds open. I’ll be able to read books on it. “This one, please.”
He nods and continues to put a SIM card into it before turning on the phone. I watch as he programs the device, then he sits next to me and holds the screen in front of my face. “Don’t smile.”
When he’s done with the biometric authentication, he hands the phone to me.
“I’ll show you the St. Monarch’s app when we’re home,” Max says, then he rises to his feet and shakes hands with Director Koslov. “Thank you.”
