“Ice?”

Ice turned to face Blackie in the hallway. The other cyborg looked grim. “Is it done? I need to see her body to verify it for the council.”

Ice’s fists clenched at his sides, pain throbbing in his injured hand. He shut down his pain sensors to that arm and glared at Blackie. “I want you off my ship.”

“It is not yours.”

“Megan is no longer a threat. That’s all you need to know.”

Dark eyes narrowed. “She’s dead?”

“Get off my ship. That’s an order. We’re undocking with the Bridden in minutes. Be

on it or you’ll be a part of my crew.” He spun away and walked toward the mess hall. “You don’t want to be under my command.” The threat was clear and he knew Blackie would understand that.

“What are you doing?” Confusion clouded the cyborg’s voice.

Ice stopped walking and turned to stare at the man in the hallway. “I’m not blindly following bad orders from the council.”

Blackie shook his head. “I hope you know what you are doing. I’m leaving but Zorus will not back off.”

“I don’t expect him to.” Ice looked away and continued to walk down the corridor.

When he entered the mess hall, he wasn’t alone. The medic happened to be seated at a table eating a meal. He put down his fork, staring with sympathy at Ice, and slowly stood. Ice glanced away from him and moved to the food unit.

“Ice?”

Ice tensed, turning to face Varion. The medic’s expression hardened as he inched closer, moving purposely toward him.

“What?”

“I’ve prepared the cargo bay to store the human female’s body. Is it done?”

Ice’s hands gripped the tray he prepared with food hard enough that he could feel the metal bending. He gently set it down on the counter and faced the medic full on.

“No.”

“The council contacted me and wants me to verify her death as soon as her life is extinguished. I am to write them a report.” The man grimaced. “I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you. If you are unable I will prepare an injection that will be painless for the human female. There’s no need for her to suffer.”

The door opened and Onyx walked inside the galley. He paused, frowning, and then sighed loudly. “I am sorry. I know you liked the female.”

Varion glanced at Onyx. “He hasn’t taken her life as yet.”

A frown curved Onyx’s lips as he stared at his best friend. “Do you need me to do it? I won’t hurt her, Ice. You know this.”

Ice blew out his breath. “She isn’t going to die. She’s going to remain on the Rally in my room. She’s no threat if she’s a prisoner inside my quarters.”

“Have you lost your damn mind?” Onyx inched closer, his gaze fixed on Ice. “The council will not be pleased. They gave us direct orders. Blackie is still aboard, waiting for verification of her death.”

“The council deemed her a threat to us if she was able to report us. She is not to be freed.
