Chapter 22: The Listening Log

At one in the morning, Noah woke Cassian up on purpose.

He did it the way he should have done it the second day, with a hand on his shoulder and the lamp on.

"I'm going to read your phone," Noah said.

Cassian rolled over, hair flat on one side, and looked at the phone in Noah's hand.

"Okay."

"Ask me why."

"Why?"

"Because their statement says you wore your headphones to avoid being seen supervising. Which means somewhere there's a record of what you were actually doing in that car." Noah turned the screen. "I think I know where."

Cassian sat up.

"The bee app."

"The bee app."

"It keeps a listening log," Cassian said, scrubbing his face. "It's embarrassing. It gives you badges."

"I know. I saw one on the second morning. I wasn't going to look then."

Noah opened the app, and the first thing on the screen was a gold banner.

BEEKEEPER LEVEL 9: 212 HOURS OF LISTENING.

"Two hundred and twelve hours," Noah said.

"I fall asleep to it."

"That's a reason."

He scrolled down through the history, through weeks of sleep timers and rewinds and a long run of nights that began at 11:40 and ended before midnight.

Then he found the day.

Tuesday, the third week of October, a bright cold afternoon.

The log listed the day by the minute.

3:02 p.m. Chapter 7: Swarming. Speed 1.5x.

3:09 p.m. Chapter 7 continues.
