The Knowledge Bank

When Master Flint took Ishiko to the Knowledge Bank, a place of great learning, neither of them expected their trip to take a deadly turn. Instead of learning the new skills Ishiko came here for, she gets abducted. The technician she was entrusted to, Gareth-14, has a plan of his own and Ishiko has the final pieces he needs.
One thing Gareth-14 didn't factor into his plan is the level of violence and determination Master Flint wields in his search for Ishiko. Gareth-14 finds himself staying one step ahead of Flint in a race for unimaginable wealth. Despite Master Flint's dogged pursuit, Gareth-14 had a long time to form his plan. It soon becomes apparent to Ishiko she must find a way to free herself instead of waiting for her master to rescue her.
She engages in a battle of wits against a person educated beyond anything she ever encountered. Ishiko only has two tools at her disposal. One is her ability to read the hidden emotions and intentions in a person's voice. The other is her skill at sexual manipulation she used to survive as a slave. Will those skills be enough to win a battle of wits with a person whose knowledge seems to know no bounds? If she's not up to the task, Gareth-14 will take away everything she is; her spirit, her skills, her experiences. Even if she survives his cruel intentions, the dark secret behind the knowledge bank's success will swallow her whole and spit out the useless remains.
