Lydia Holt had adopted him as a babyand loved him. He and his mother were only Non-corporate Citizens,Noncos, but Uncle Peter was a Corporate Citizen, a Cozie, and got himinto a much better school in the corp zone. So he had studied very hardand tried to make his mother and Uncle Peter proud of him.
But he had met Aaron when he was fourteen. They were brones; identical inappearance but different too, which was strange. No one had told himthat he was a clone.
Dr. Escuniti of the United Genetics Services Corp had made many clones of Matthew Nesrady, but no one would tell him why. Even Nesrady didn't know.
But he had worked hard hoping toget a good corporate job, hoping to become a Cozie, but then he hadstarted to see the sparklies. He could shut his eyes, but that didn'tstop the swarming sparkly things and the shadows around him.
Itwas years before he realized the sparklies were fore-images of thingsthat would happen very soon. No one had told him he was a precog either.
He didn't tell anyone, not even Aaron. But some Cozies knew anyway andwanted to use him for this precog ability. He didn't know what theywanted him to do, but he didn't think he should let them use him.
