As “Stepping on Fingers” unfolds, saving Lea:
“Despite some closure from disposing of Judge Beckinsale, Lea remained concerned about the explosive device embedded in her neck and the amulet between her breasts. It was supposed to fool the bomb about Lea’s location, making the explosive device think she was still within the bounds of Penal Colony 627 in faraway Russian territory.

“I need to meet with the woman in the Cadillac and I must be able to trust you and the other Movement people. Long story short, after I was sent to Penal Colony 627, a doctor there attached a bomb to my spinal cord. It was designed to monitor whether I stayed within the boundaries of that island.”
She turned to show the Movement’s man the ugly scar on the back of her neck, still visible even though most of her red hair had grown back. He sighed sympathetically…”
