Floxham Island ~ Sinclair V-Log AZ267/M Read Online Free

you have to find your entertainment wherever you can and
as I said, I like to think of myself as an excellent judge of
character. It has become a habit for me to continually test my
people skills and one of the things I do is try to guess which
excuse the target will use first to avoid the blood sampler. The
two most often used are a fear of needles and not liking the sight
of blood. Nembier struck me right away as a guy who was okay with
needles. He’s not the type to fret over something silly like a
blood sampler so I went with him hating the sight of blood and he’d
just won me another fifty. It took all my control not to thank
him.
    “Don’t worry Mr
Tallion you won’t see any blood,” I assured him in my most
authoritative tone as I took a fourth step towards him. “This unit
is completely self contained and everything is done inside the
thumb sleeve.” That fourth step took me too far inside his comfort
zone and he leapt up and backed across the room yelling at me to
get away. Sighing with annoyance, I turned and nodded to the
medical aides who I had already arranged to be watching through the
one way glass and waited for them to enter and restrain him. Two
mountainous men entered and approached him assertively and had him
firmly restrained within seconds. Within another thirty seconds I
got my blood sample, took a scan of his fingerprint and retina and
within another two minutes I confirmed him as being Professor
Kluvak Nembier. He sat on the edge of the bed as I packed away my
scanner and blood sampler and I watched him closely as I clicked on
my digital recorder. A weird feeling coursed through me and I
suddenly felt sorry for the guy as he sat there with his head in
his hands looking scared and for a moment I could’ve almost
believed him to be innocent.
    “Professor
Kluvak Nembier,” I said as I began the speech that was so familiar.
“My name is Sinclair. I am a Freelance Law Enforcer, tag reference
code Sinclair 27593-4/167AZP and it is my duty to inform you that I
now place you under restraint as per warrant code AZ267/M. You
shall remain under restraint until such time as I deliver you into
the care of the relevant authorities on Floxham 4 where you are to
be questioned in connection with nine murders on Agrillia 3.” After
noting the date and time, I clicked off the recorder and scanned it
into the record along with the identification details I’d taken
from him. “Thank you very much for your co-operation Professor,” I
smiled as I turned and left the room. If I hurried I might still
make that haircut appointment.
    She seemed
delighted when I gave her a large tip. She’d done an excellent job
on my hair and I was genuinely pleased as I checked myself out in
the mirror in her salon on deck five. Not too much off, just a tidy
up and a zap of Tricholox to thicken it up and give it more body.
Tricholox is marvellous stuff for those of us not blessed with
naturally thick and luxuriant hair. I’m no scientist so the
minutiae of how it works isn’t exactly my thing. All I know is that
after they give you several injections all over your scalp it makes
the hair twice as thick as it is naturally and lasts for three or
four months before needing a top up. She smiled and I winked at her
as I left the salon and headed next door for my dermal appointment.
A pretty red headed gal smiled at me as I entered and gave my name.
She offered me a drink while I waited and I was soon enjoying a
cold Andolian beer. A leggy blonde appeared and bade me follow her
into a cubicle where I was soon hooked up to a dermal optimiser.
This machine is a one step skin perfecting machine that cleans,
smoothes, tightens and freshens all in one go. Cold goo is spread
all over the face and then they put this thin fabric mask thing
over the top. The machine has a sort of helmet that comes down over
your face like a close fitting space helmet and when they switch it
on you can feel your skin tingle and the muscles of the
