“Do you have anything yet?” I was just finished clearing the brush away from the engines to be sure it wouldn’t catch fire when we took off.

Max was in the pilot’s seat, toying with the messaging system.

“The only thing I’ve picked up is a few mentions of patrol ships, and how whoever picked up the girls should link up with those ships. I assume those patrol ships will be the ones to carry the girls to Xenon.”

“They’re probably not far from here,” I said. “They’re posted around every system right now, aren’t they? With the girls at large, I mean.”

“Yeah. Orson would do something like that. It wouldn’t matter how many ships it took. He wants what’s his. I wonder if he knows she’s mine.” There was a snide smile in his voice.

“That would piss him off.”

“That would be downright poetic,” he muttered.

“This ship can beat the shitty little hunter ships—I caught a look at one of them and I wasn’t impressed.”

“Yeah, I saw them, too,” he said, flipping the controls and priming the ship for launch. “We ready?”

“We’re ready.”

“And they’re all right?” he asked, jerking his head in the direction of the village.

“As all right as they’ll be,” I said.

I hoped to never spend a day like the day I had just spent, not ever again.

Carrying the bodies of people I had come to respect. Lorma. Rance, who I always suspected wanted to be a pirate. When we found Vin, Lorma’s husband, I had needed to look away for a second. So both parents were gone. I hoped the remaining men buried them together.

Honora.

Max had asked for a moment alone with her body.

Those bastards had burned her in her hut. She had fled Xenon for them to burn her in her home. It was just another blow to Max, seeing her the way she was. She was a good woman. She didn’t deserve it. None of them did.

When we lifted off the ground, the damage was even more sobering.

Most of the village was gone. I had assumed it would be, but seeing it was something else. The burned roofs marked the huts which had been targeted. There were many more of them than there were of the unburned.

The healthy villagers went from hut to hut, helping each other. Even then, when they had lost so many, they wanted to help each other. I hoped I wasn’t seeing them for the last time.
