Chapter 25

Adam Cain…

Adam and Sherri were taken from the Fleet Commander’s quarters and placed in the brig. The Kracori had an actual jail aboard their ship, which made him wonder about relationships between Kracori, since the jail had not been built specifically to hold them. Maybe Humans and the Kracori were just two sides of the same coin….

There were only two cells, and they were faced with a clear glass wall with a door set in it and secured by an electronic lock. Once they were inside and the Kracori guards had moved back to their stations, Sherri leaned in close to Adam and whispered, “How long are we going to stay here?” Her voice was low and muddied, just in case their conversations were monitored.

Adam covered his mouth and cupped his hand, directing the sound towards Sherri. “A while longer; we still don’t know the strength of the fleet or the timetable for the attack.”

Sherri hugged him, placing her mouth next to his ear. “You’re sure you can get us out of here?”

“About eighty-two point six percent sure.”

Sherri pulled away and looked at him with a puzzled look. “I thought the odds would be higher,” she whispered.

Adam smiled. “There’s a whole shit-load of gadgets and gizmos operating here … and remember I’m still a rookie. It’s hard for me to keep everything straight.”

Sherri’s expression changed to one of concern. “I hadn’t thought of that. And what about the Pegasus, what if they tear her apart before we leave?”

“If that’s the case, then we’ll have to take over this whole damn ship.” His smile conveyed confidence, yet his eyes were clouded with doubt.

Sherri took Adam by the arm and led him to the only cot in the cell. “Then you better lie down here and get to work.”

“I thought you said I was being lazy for lounging around all the time getting fat?”

“Just do it,” she commanded, pushing him down on the bed. “Now you and your ATD get to work … and no sleeping on the job!”
