Chapter 22: Three Doors
The ballroom was gone.
There was a white floor under Yvette's feet, and a white sky, and no wall or edge anywhere.
Alaric and Calla were not there.
Only the voice was there, and it was no longer inside her head.
It spoke from every side at once.
"Executor, the window is open. You have three doors."
Three plain rectangles of light stood in the white, one beside another.
The first said HOME.
The second said STAY.
The third said COMPLETE.
"Door one," said the system. "The executor is released from the mission now and returned to origin world. The recipient's organ is withdrawn at midnight."
"Calla dies."
"The recipient's organ is withdrawn."
"Door two."
"The executor remains assigned. The target is not completed. At midnight the organ is withdrawn, and the executor's body is lost and replaced."
"Calla dies, and I come back with an eighth face."
"That is correct."
"Door three."
"The target speaks. The mission is complete. The recipient's organ is retained. The executor is no longer assigned."
"Erased," Yvette said.
"The executor is no longer assigned."
She looked at the doors for a long time.
She was shaking, and she could feel her hand growing thinner.
"You want me to pick three," she said. "And every one of them kills somebody."
"Door three kills no one the system tracks."
"It kills me."
"The executor is not a tracked person."
Yvette laughed.
It rang oddly in the nothing.
"All right," she said. "I want the contract."
