Davy has always been alone. He believes that he's the only person in the world who can teleport. But what if he isn't?
A mysterious group of people has taken Davy captive. They don't want to hire him, and they don't have any hope of appealing to him to help them. What they want is to own him. They want to use his abilities for their own purposes, whether Davy agrees to it or not. And so they set about brainwashing him and conditioning him. They have even found a way to keep a teleport captive.
But there's one thing that they don't know. No one knows it, not even Davy. And it might save his life....

It felt good on his raw throat but he couldn’t help but think, if you’ve got to throw up, might as well make it as innocuous as possible. His stomach rumbled, hungry again. He wondered if they’d feed him or whether they were still in.
Covered before her pupils recovered enough to try the contacts. They had obviously improved the technology in recent years. The last time she’d tried contacts, in her teens, she’d been unable to insert them without epic struggles, or endure them, once they were in. She’d given up in disgust. Now, a few blinks, and it was as if they weren’t there. She agreed to the doctor’s suggestion, continuous-wear disposables, designed to be worn for two weeks, day and night, then thrown away.

But now they’d be wondering what on earth happened to the strange blond woman after she went off the edge of the building. She pictured them rushing to the edge, expecting to see and/or hear her impact the ground below, and then the.
Us his face. Show us that he is alive,” Frank said reasonably. “You told Reverend Ilori he was unharmed. Was that lies?” For a very tense moment, Davy thought the man would pull the trigger, but he finally reached over and pulled the hood off of the prisoner.
