THE announcement was broadcast live from the World Health Organization all over the planet.
People from Indian residential apartments tuned in to their TV screens; same with residents in South Africa; those living at the Favelas in Brazil; pedestrians bustling through the crosswalks who stopped to look up at the jumbotrons set at the highrise buildings at Times Square, New York; same in London; Tokyo; all the way to Kenya, where Tamana, Derek and Jim were all seated behind one of the monitors, watching the event.
"Another variant?" exclaimed Jim through a mouthful of doughnuts, apparently not noticing the revolting look that Tamana was giving him. "I thought we had enough vaccines for that. They even gave us these things that contain bombs in them!"
Derek's eyes drifted from Jim's bejeweled wrist to that of Tamana, recalling something he had noticed earlier when they had been at the tech store.
Tamana's bracelet had a rather unique design that Derek had only ever seen once.
