Chapter Fifteen

“Doesn’t this remind you of back then?” Lana asked as I sat in an oversized bathtub overlooking the city. Occasional explosions rocked the streets, tracer ammo flashed across the sky, and all of them were accompanied by screams of the dying and wounded.

“I wonder how it is in the other cities,” I replied as I tried not to feel the pain from outside. I already had my hands full trying to deal with Melina, Lana, and the rifts to worry about others, but it was stronger than me.

“Which cities?”

“Any other city. Is humanity as depraved no matter where you go? I’d like to say probably not, but I’m not sure after seeing everything I did so far.”

“Vik, why would you care? You got your hands full here in Sylmar. God knows how long we’ll need to sort shit out back at the inn and over here.”

I picked up another piece of chocolate from the chair next to the bathtub and pushed it into my mouth. This stuff wasn’t good for me. If I went on like this, I was going to have to start working out.

“I can’t get enough of this stuff!”

“Even after seventeen pieces?”

“No, I want more!”

A soft knock on the door startled me. I let out a sigh and called out to the person of annoyance, letting them know their interruption wasn’t welcome.

“What?”

“Sir Viktor? There’s a little over an hour left. Can you please get ready and come out?”

I thought it was the voice of that young woman who led us to Kade earlier after I woke up. Might have been wrong, but it wasn’t like it mattered.

“Give us fifteen minutes,” I called back and slowly got out of the tub, joining Lana near the bed where our new clothes were laid out. They’d even provided us matching kimonos earlier, which was… nice of them.

We got dressed and made our way down the hall, trailing after the young woman from earlier. Kade was waiting outside his office and talking to Colonel Herrion when we arrived.

“Viktor!” Kade roared as we approached. The colonel flinched and rubbed his ears in disgust. He didn’t like me, and that wouldn’t change no matter what. But I didn’t care, so it wasn’t like it mattered.

“Are we ready, General?”

He nodded. “I’ve put together a strike squad. We’ll go in hard with five choppers, bomb the place, and attack the base and portal simultaneously. Herrion will attack the portal, and you will lead the attack on the base.”

“I… General, that won’t be smart. I can’t protect people in the rage of battle. If it was up to me, I’d keep Lana here until shit was over, but it’s not like she can die, so I worry less there.”

“You got that right!” She laughed.

Kade grinned and nodded his head at her. “Wish I had such a fine woman, Viktor. You should treasure her.”

“Oh, I… do treasure her, trust me. But what about you and your family?”

His eyebrows rose slightly as if not expecting me to ask about someone else’s family.
