The Sylvie creature let out a cold laugh. “Stupid humans. So easily fooled.” Then she was gone, headed down the hallway in the opposite direction.
Jamie was shaking, her mind reeling. Although she’d known they were dealing with shape-shifters, it hadn’t really hit home until now. Suddenly she felt like she couldn’t trust anyone, including those at NASA who had supposedly been committed to helping her bring Sylvie home.

Drake kept them moving, and Jamie fought the sick feeling in her stomach. Before she realized it, they were heading through a vast space that held cages of various sizes. In each cage there was a creature staring out with sad eyes.
Don’t look, she told herself.Concentrate on your mission.
She wished she could free each creature, let them go and help them fight their way off the planet. Instead she had to pass the cages by.I’ll come back if I can, she swore silently.
And finally they reached an entrance that was flanked by two guards. They’d taken human form. A very recognizable form.
Identical Lance Cargraves stared down at her.
