The Pathless on Paths---------Chapter VII part 2(35)

“Hold your fire!” Emmerich said. “Observe first!”
Karrson suddenly forgot why they were hiding. Back in the facility if they saw one of these they would have run, or hide, just as they did now, but none were present, or at least operational. But now, things are different...or are they? It still remained stationary. The signs tell him that it is in search of something, but now it stopped. The reason was simple. It found what it was looking for: them. It was far too unlikely to be a coincidence. Giavoni was searching for them...for what reason? The countermeasure, obviously: they would not sit and watch them do this. They must have found intelligence about it, though from where or who Karrson knew not: the recording from which he acquired the knowledge was labeled for his ears only, but he had showed it to Hunter. Emmerich also knew, for he was a close associate. Who else, though? Perhaps Mr. Noah? There would be other sources he did not know, he was sure. If so, then the purpose of Giavoni’s search was now clear: not for them, but what they were making for. Giavoni wants Dr. Kater.
