Chapter 14: Rayk’n

I watched from my screen as the first set of sparkling streamers flew from Tilly's balcony and landed near Tarku’n’s shuttle. More streamers flew out, landing around the vessel, and with them came loud, ear-piercing sirens. All the scourge in the area stopped and turned toward the noise and visual display.

My Tilly was calling the scourge down onto the 00592 hunter with her improvised lures. I marveled at her impromptu plan. My chest tightened at the thought of her, and I rubbed it absently.

I'd fumed every moment the other hunter was inside her home, and when he’d exited without Tilly, I wasn't sure if I was glad or worried. What had happened in there? Not more than ten Earth minutes later, the streamers started flying out of her balcony.

Now, I knew my Tilly was safe, but she must have felt threatened by this hunter to have used this tactic.

This was great news for me. As long as the hunter was distracted, he wouldn't be able to scan for my ship. It also kept the flyers off my back. With any luck, I'd be able to land, find Tilly, get her into my shuttle, and lift off before Tarku’n finished his fight.

I wouldn't have noticed the two small figures running out the other side of the building if it hadn't been for the drone refocusing on the movement.

Tilly! And Waffles!

What were they doing out of their fortress?

She seemed to know exactly where she was going, ducking under awnings and weaving through the buildings. I set the drone to keep an eye on the other hunter, then followed Tilly with my shuttle.

She waited in hiding as a group of scourge crossed her position, while I held my breath. The scourge didn’t notice her, and she continued on her way. After several blocks, she ducked into a smaller red brick building. I waited for her to come out and go back on the move, but she didn’t.

Checking once more for scourge in the area—they were all fighting the other hunter—I landed my shuttle outside the building, keeping it cloaked.

The sign out front read “Factory District Library.” The building was full of books and smelled stale. My Tilly enjoyed her books a lot.

I followed her trail to the back of the building and found her in the backroom.

“Get back!” she warned, pointing a can of something at my face. I could smell the potent product inside the canister.

She dropped the weapon the second she recognized me.

“Rayk’n!” She ran out to me and hugged me tightly. “I was just about to use the button to call you. How did you know I was here? You need to be careful! There's someone looking for you, and I don't think he's up to any good. He’s an asshole.” All the words rushed out of her in one long breath.

“We had surveillance on the 00592 hunter. We knew he was in the area, so I did not leave the compound earlier, but I came as soon as I saw him enter your home.
