As they exited the Anomaly, "You aren't supposed to do that to extinct species," Helen said, unable to remove the image of that poor Tyrannosaur from her mind.
"I don't like things trying to eat me," Ancient Mai replied just before making the prison door melt into dust. "You're coming with us," she said to the lone prisoner inside.
"Who are you?" Nikki asked, though she recognized Helen Cutter from security files in Treadstone and related operations - of the other one, Nikki only knew she was reportedly known as 'Ancient Mai.' "Did Jason send you?"
"This is bigger than Jason Bourne," Helen said. Nick always said I didn't care enough to save humankind...this time, I am. "And you're helping."
"If you say no, after all this, I'm going to do one of two things, both unpleasant," Ancient Mai said. The first would be to leave you with Harry Dresden. The second would be to make you a peace gift to the Skinwalkers.
"She's hungry," Helen said.
"I am too," Nikki said, "but that can wait."
"No, this is too big and too important to do on an empty stomach." Fortunately, I know where some choice sauropods live.
