“我们走吧。”杰布对我们俩说，他把我们带回到我们来时的路上。杰布走在我的一边，杰米则在另一边。杰米好像一直试着盯着地面，不过他不停地向上瞟一眼我的脸就像我忍不住向下瞟他一眼一样。无论我们的视线何时交会，我们又都飞快地看别处去了。
我们差不多走在去大厅的半路上时，我听见身后传来轻轻的脚步声。我的反应转瞬即逝，也是不假思索的。我轻捷地跑到隧道的一侧，一只胳膊拽着杰米，这样我就能挡在他和向我奔来的东西之间，不管是什么东西。
“嘿！”他抗议道，不过他没从我胳膊下面挣脱。
杰布同样迅速，枪迅雷不及掩耳地从绑带上转出来。
伊恩和医生都把手举到头顶上。
“我们也能检点自己的行为。”医生说道。很难相信这个声音柔和，面带善意的男人会是长期折磨他人；他对我而言更加恐怖，因为他的外表如此善良。有个人在漆黑诡谲的夜晚会很警觉，会有心理准备，但是在晴朗明媚的白天会吗？当她看不见潜藏的危险时，怎么会知道逃跑呢？
杰布眯着眼睛看着伊恩，枪管也跟着他的眼神移动。
“我不会惹麻烦的，杰布，我会和医生一样规规矩矩的。”
“好，”杰布简洁地说道，把枪收了起来，“可别试探我。我很长时间都没杀过人了，我还有些想念其中的兴奋呢。”
我倒抽了一口气，大家都听见了，转而看着我惊恐万状的脸。医生是第一个开口大笑的，不过，不一会儿就连杰米也加入进来了。
“是个玩笑。”杰米轻声对我说道。他的手不经意地移开，几乎好像是向我伸过来一样，不过他很快就把它装进短裤口袋里去了。我的胳膊仍然挡在他面前保护他我也让它垂落下来。
“好了，时间都浪费了，”杰布说道，仍然有些不友好，“你们所有人都得跟上，因为我可不会等你们。”他还没说完就大踏步地向前走去。

QUESTION
Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen
Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt
Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick
How will I know
in thicket ahead
is danger or treasure
When Body my good
bright dog is dead
How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye
PROLOGUE
Inserted
The Healer’s name was Fords Deep Waters。
Because he was a soul； by nature he was all things good： passionate； patient； honest； virtuous； and
full of love。 Anxiety was an unusual emotion for Fords Deep Waters。
Irritation was even rarer。 However； because Fords Deep Waters lived inside a human body； irritation
was sometimes inescapable。
As the whispers of the Healing students buzzed in the far corner of the operating room； his lips pressed
together into a tight line。 The expression felt out of place on a mouth more often given to smiling。
Darren； his regular assistant； saw the grimace and patted his shoulder。
“They’re just curious； Fords；” he said quietly。
“An insertion is hardly an interesting or challenging procedure。 Any soul on the street could perform it in
an emergency。 There’s nothing for them to learn by observing today。” Fords was surprised to hear the
sharp edge marring his normally soothing voice。
“They’ve never seen a grown human before；” Darren said。
Fords raised one eyebrow。 “Are they blind to each other’s faces？ Do they not have mirrors？”
“You know what I mean—a wild human。 Still soulless。 One of the insurgents。”
Fords looked at the girl’s unconscious body； laid out facedown on the operating table。 Pity swelled in his
heart as he remembered the condition her poor； broken body had been in when the Seekers had brought
her to the Healing facility。 Such pain she’d endured。…
Of course she was perfect now—pletely healed。 Fords had seen to that。
“She looks the same as any of us；” Fords murmured to Darren。 “We all have human faces。 And when
she wakes up； she will be one of us； too。”
“It’s just exciting for them； that’s all。”
“The soul we implant today deserves more respect than to have her host body gawked at this way。
She’ll already have far too much to deal with as she acclimates。 It’s not fair to put her through this。” By
this； he did not mean the gawking。 Fords heard the sharp edge return to his voice。
At the wordSeeker； Fords gave Darren a look that could only be described as a glare。 Darren blinked in
shock。
“I’m sorry；” Fords apologized at once。 “I didn’t mean to react so negatively。 It’s just that I fear for this
soul。”
His eyes moved to the cryotank on its stand beside the table。 The light was a steady； dull red； indicating
that it was occupied and in hibernation mode。
“This soul was specially picked for the assignment；” Darren said soothingly。 “She is exceptional among
our kind—braver than most。 Her lives speak for themselves。 I think she would volunteer； if it were
possible to ask her。”
“Who among us would not volunteer if asked to do something for the greater good？ But is that really the
case here？ Is the greater good served by this？ The question is not her willingness； but what it is right to
ask any soul to bear。”
The Healing students were discussing the hibernating soul as well。 Fords could hear the whispers clearly；
their voices were rising now； getting louder with their excitement。
“She’s lived on six planets。”
