Implants Reaching the kitchen in the morning , Genesis was surprised to see Kiefer , Tadgh and Lorcan standing around the island each holding cups of coffee in their hands .
Kiefer had kissed her good morning but when shed gone to take her shower , he said hed get himself and Egan ready for the day .
Where is Egan ? He is with Jerren outside .
Hes being fitted with a microchip .
Kiefer said as he took a sip of his coffee .
Im sorry , what ? Were microchipping Egan .
Lorcan said bluntly .
Until we figure out who or why our convoy was attacked , its an enemy were unsure of , we need to ensure youre both safe .
Am I microchipped ? Not yet .
Are you three microchipped ? Yes .
Lorcan shrugged .
Were billionaires , love .
If I go missing , all Kiefer needs to do is log into a computer system and through satellite imagery , he can pinpoint me to few feet of my location , alive or dead .
Implants And youll be able to do the same for me and Egan ? Yes .
2/9 Okay .
Kiefer lifted a brow , I thought youd fight us on it .
Nope .
Youre telling me if someone tries to take my kid you have an implant in him to keep him safe .
Do you know how many people have children go missing who wish they could have done such a thing ? I wish wed done it ages ago .
Lorcan laughed and rounded the table and kissed the top of her head .
Good girl .
You look good today , all dressed in your dark blue suit .
We have a funeral to attend .
We cant go in jeans or sweats .
Tadgh grunted .
Despite how much I didnt like Astra , if I showed up to a chapel in anything other than my Sunday best , my grandmother would rise from her grave and beat me to death .
She frowned her eyes shooting to Kiefers , everyone is coming ? Yes .
Kiefer nodded .
Were a family , Genesis .

While none of us really cared for Astra and didnt agree with the way she abandoned you recently , you loved her .
Today is going to hurt .
Were going to be there for you .
Lorcan tugged her until she stood between his legs as he Implants 3/9 leaned against a stool .
He cupped her cheek , we already have everything arranged for her funeral .
We have security out the wazoo in place .
We are worried about you being in the open and so youll be surrounded completely .
When we move from the cars to the funeral home and the gravesite , you will be obligated to wear a vest .
A vest ? Bulletproof .
You think someone might try to kill me today ? I think I dont trust whoever it was who tortured your friend to try to get information on your whereabouts to not try to , at the very least , get sight of you .
Is it weak of me to admit Im scared ? she whispered to nobody in particular .
No , its not Genesis .
Were scared .
Lorcan tilted her chin .
Were terrified .
We only got you back and we are not prepared to lose you again in this lifetime .
We will be guarding you better than the secret service guards the president .
Okay .
She heard Egan giggling as he entered the house from wherever he was , and him ? Youll keep him safe too ? Always .
Kiefer rubbed her back .
Its your turn .
You need to go .
with Jerren .
Why didnt you go with Egan to get his implant ? Implants 4/9 Because it hurts and I was worried Id shoot Jerren and his IT guy in the face for hurting my kid , Kiefer said honestly .
Same , Tadgh raised his hand .
Lorcan shrugged , hes part of you Genesis and seeing him sad or hurt makes me think of you sad or hurt and I want to start shooting .
Jerren realized wed likely beat the fuck out of the guy who has to do the implant for hurting our boy .
She laughed , youre joking right ? Looking around the room at them , their blue eyes all focused on her she realized they were quite serious .
Are you not coming with me to get my implant ? Do you want to see bloodshed ? Tadgh said grunting as he poured more coffee , his knuckles white around the handle of the mug .
Its a big needle and it goes into the hip .
One of our guys passed out from it .
Egan came running in , Mom , Mom , guess what ? What ? Im like Iron Man .
I have a computer component in my body .
He was pushing down the top of his trousers to show her where a bandage sat .
I didnt even cry .
You didnt cry ? Nope .
Uncle Jerren told me I was braver than some of the men on the team .
Also , youre getting one too , but you cant tell Implants 5/9 anyone its there because if bad guys capture us and they know its there , they can try to cut it out .
How interesting .
Dont worry though Mom .
Even though it hurts , its to keep us safe .
Dad , Granddad and Uncle Tadgh and Jerren will keep the bad men from getting us and this is only a backup plan , just in case .
Im not worried .
I know were safe .
She kissed the top of his head .
Did you have breakfast yet ? Dad said we could eat on the plane .
Were going to have a funeral for Auntie Astra , and she is going to get put into a coffin and buried in the ground .
I think its weird her body is still on earth , but her soul is in heaven now .
She is an angel .
Granddad Lorcan said he believes how brave she was in her final moments helped her get special passage to heaven because she gave up her life for us .
She gave Lorcan a smile, I hadnt considered it this way .
I think if there is a God in heaven , and someone who judges us to proceed into the next life , then if our sins are weighed against the good , weve done in this world , Astras protection of you and Egan has to have counted for a lot .
She kissed his cheek , and closed her eyes whispering in his ear , thank you .
Aw man , Moms going to cry again .
Implants 6/9 Your mom , Kiefer said as he hiked Egan up on his hip , is likely going to cry a lot today .
Astra was her best friend in the entire world and while you got to see Astra one last time in your dreams , your Mom didnt get to have such an experience .
Your mom didnt get a goodbye hug and so shes going to miss Astra a whole lot over the next little while .
We need to be strong for your Mom and make sure she gets all the hugs and kisses she needs from us to help her when shes feeling sad .
Jerren cleared his throat , interrupting .
Gen , if you want to come with me , we can get your implant in place and then well head out to the airfield .
Okay .
She followed Jerren out of the house through the back garden and to one of the outbuildings on the premises .
She looked at the room as they entered it , this was the place they were going to renovate to turn into a cottage for me , isnt it ? It is , Jerren grinned .
Now its become a makeshift medical clinic on the estate .
If you decide to dump the trio , well relocate , and you can have your cottage back .
Are you kidding ? she hopped up on the medical bed , have you seen the shower they put in my new bathroom ? It has eight jets , Jerren .
Even if I did dump the three of them , Id stay in the main house and marry the jet which is about this high , she raised her hand waist level .
He laughed at her words .
What youre telling me then is , when I move my girlfriend in , if I want her to stay , she needs a shower like yours ? Implants Are you moving her in ? 7/9 Shell be moving in today .
I need her safe .
Until we know who and what were facing , were on lockdown .
To go and do this funeral is against all the commonsense Tadgh and I have but its non negotiable and we know it so were going to do it right .
However , if given our way , we would have brought her body here and buried her in the garden .
Despite the fact , Kiefer said I didnt get to see her one last time , Im quite convinced I dont want to see her ghost and if you bring her here and bury her on land owned by Kiefer , a man she loathed with ever fiber of her being , she would not have rested well .
She would have been walking the garden at all hours of the day and night haunting my ass until I buried her away from him .
She was jealous of him .
She wanted you for herself .
I never suspected this but youre probably right .
She looked up as a tall thin man stepped into the room .
I know you from somewhere .
I was part of your security team when you were in school in Columbus .
I was reassigned back to Ireland when you all moved here .
Im back here in Boston now .
He smiled .
You and I engaged in a very long discussion one evening at dinner about cyber security .
I remember ! she pointed at him excitedly .
Allan , right ? Implants 8/9 Kiefer brought him to work here out Boston because hes hoping to convince you to work in our cybersecurity division , Gen.
Jerren said bluntly as he watched the other man open a black suitcase and pull a needle from it .
She was surprised , really ? Yes .
Hell probably bring it up once the funeral is all dealt with .
Act surprised .
Jerren laughed as she snickered .
I hate to say this , but I need you to lift your skirt , he grabbed a blanket and set it over her knees .
I need you to show us your hip .
Its going to hurt .
If its going to hurt , how come Egan didnt cry ? Oh , he cried .
Jerren laughed , but we told him if he was brave and let us do it , wed tell everyone he didnt cry , and the rest of the men would think he was braver and stronger than them .
Were best friends now .
She laughed and adjusted herself on the table , laying on her side .
Big pinch , Jerren said .
Genesis knew why her son cried .
It hurt like a bitch .
Fuck ! she cursed and gripped the edge of the table as tears filled her eyes .
Holy fuck that hurts .
Almost there , Gen , Jerren said softly .
Youre doing so good .
We have to guide it to where it implants against your hip bone .
Implants She sucked in a shaky breath and then she whimpered as he slowly retracted the needle from her flesh .
9/9 Lay still for a few minutes while we make sure its live and in place and registering .
She flicked her gaze to where Allan was typing away on his laptop .
This is actually really cool .
Isnt it ? Allan grinned at her .
You should see what weve done .
with biometrics on some of the weapons .
Its very supervillain like .
Jerren put a bandage on her hip as a loud beep pinged from the computer .
And youre live .
Were good to go .
Lets get your back to your family so we can get the hard part of your day over with .
Genesis stood up and felt her hip aching and yet knew , this physical pain wasnt going to be the thing which hurt most today .
The thought filled her with dread , and she took a breath and prayed she appeared braver than she felt .
