The Lifeline shot into hyperspace, just as the fighters activated their blasters. The lead fighter pilot flicked his comm switch. “LC-1 to base,” he said.

“Go ahead, LC-1.”

“They got away, sir.”

“Yes, I know,” the voice of Linkaas rumbled from the speaker. “You weren’t fast enough. But no matter, I’ll have Lifehold, his Tinnell, and his ship soon enough.” Linkaas paused. “Oh, and Captain? You’re all fired.”

There were four brief flares as the ships self-destructed. Soon there was no evidence that they had ever existed.

As the stars became elongated lines and the ship’s hyperdrive took over, Dannen relaxed. “Okay, we’re safe now.”

Purr looked at him. “Why did that plant want me?”

Dannen considered. If he told her the truth, she’d probably get confused. Best to keep it simple. “He wants to kill you.”

Her eyes opened wide in terror. “Why?”

“Because you’re special. And because he knows it would hurt me.”

Purr gazed at him. “You won’t let him take me, will you?”

Dannen smiled, and gathered her up in his arms. “No, Purr, I won’t let him take you. I promise.” He scratched her head; during the trip from Dohu, he discovered she liked it. “Come on, let’s get some rest. We have a long trip ahead.”
