Aaron wiped the sweat out of his eyes. The only thing guiding him back to the lower levels was his knowledge of the tunnels and the soft red glow of the emergency lights. He was on the upper level section of the receiving bay when he overheard the communication between the Disappearance and another ship.

When he heard Behr’s name he knew trouble found the man who had become their friend. He immediately contacted Behr when he peered out of one of the grates and saw at least a dozen security officers disembarking from a transport shuttle.

He was halfway down to the lower cargo bay when the lights went out. Now, he was past the cargo bay and working his way down to the lower levels. His only hope was that Hanine would be untouched by whatever was going on. He had no misconceptions that his and Ben’s lives were about to change for the worse.

He paused when he saw a figure round the narrow passage. The curse on his lips died when he recognized his brother’s large, lanky form. He hurried forward only to slow in anger when he saw that Ben wasn’t alone.

“What in the hell do you think you’re doing?” He bit out in a fierce whisper. “You’re going to get them killed!”

He watched as Ben was pushed to the side when Hanine squeezed by him. A moment later she threw herself into his arms. A shudder went through him as he wrapped his arms protectively around her.

“What are you doing here, Hanine? You should be safely tucked away in your quarters,” he muttered against her neck.

“They came for us,” she whispered. “They broke through the door. We escaped. I couldn’t leave you. I love you, Aaron. I cannot leave you.”

Aaron looked with tortured eyes at Ben. He fought back a groan when he saw the regret in his older brother’s eyes. A sense of hopelessness washed through him.

“Maybe if…,” he started to say.

“No!” Hanine whispered fiercely as she laid her fingers against his lips. “Evetta and I have a plan. We are both skilled pilots. I can disable their shuttles. There is an attack shuttle in the lower bay. It was repaired, but never moved. I’ve reprogrammed it. We have to get to it. I will disable all the others.”

“What about the other warship?” Ben asked. “It can still come after us.”

A cold, deadly glint came into Hanine’s eyes. “Not if I shut down the environmental system on the Disappearance. The commanding officers are here. They will need the other warship if they want to live.”

Aaron pressed a kiss against her forehead. “Have I ever told you how much I love you when you are pissed?” He teased her.

Hanine turned and her eyes softened as she gazed up at Aaron. “You promised you would perform the ceremony to bind us as is the custom of your people. I am keeping you to your promise.”

“What ceremony?” Evetta asked, turning to look at Ben.

“I asked Hanine to marry me,” Aaron replied with a wicked gleam in his eyes as he raised an eyebrow at his brother.
