"It could. Or, it could mean the incident with Leach was stressful enough to give her a headache."

"Leach could give anyone a headache. But he never would've gotten that far with me."

"She was tied up, for Makr's sake!" The reference to Makr had not gone unnoticed by anyone, especially Kieran. _Damn, I'm beginning to talk like an Insider now,_ he thought.

"It's just..."

"Let's stay on task, shall we?" ordered Carlos. When his voice was a little steadier, he stated, "If we assume her 'homing device' has been disabled, then we only have to worry about him."

"We could remove the chip."

"It might kill him."

"So. Better him than us. When he's dead we cut it out and examine it then."

"Maybe. If we can't remove it, disintegrate or dissolve it, we could try to disable it. It wouldn't cause us any harm that way. Of course, we wouldn't learn anything from it either. Who knows what program is already fixed in his brain."

Harry inserted himself into the discussion. "Excuse me. If you two are coldly plotting my demise about whatever is fixed in my brain, don't I have say here?"

Kieran scowled, but Carlos looked at Harry calmly and replied, "You aren't in much of a position to offer any advice. For all we know, you may be transmitting our location and conversation right now."

"You could be right about that, but I don't think so."

"This better be good," warned Kieran.

"I don't know if this will help," he said, "but from what I know of SensaVision transmissions, the steel alloy and composite materials that probably went into the construction of this building create interference—noise, reverberation, garbled signals, what-have-you.

 " We could remove the check. " 

 " It might kill him. " 

 " So. Better him than us. When he's dead we reduce it out and examine it then. " 

 " Maybe. If we can't remove it, disintegrate or dissolve it, we could try to disable it. It wouldn't induce us any harm that way. Of course, we wouldn't learn anything from it either. Who knows what program is already fix in his brain. " 

 Harry inserted himself into the discussion. " Excuse me. If you two are coldly plotting my demise about whatever is fixed in my brain, don't I have say here? "

 " You could be correct about that, but I don't remember so. "
