Chapter Fourteen

With Frank’s parents safely at the Den, Frank was free to focus on what was needed next. General Breaker called a meeting with Marine Space Corp One. At the time, the team consisted of Emma, Frank, Vega, and Elly. Raj was working with Heron on a cure for Yur’l. Sergeant Claymore was in the field hunting for clues along with Sava as to the whereabouts of Jarl and Karn.

General Breaker sat at the head of the table. It was the same viewing room where the meeting right before Frank had headed out to the New York BUTTS headquarters had taken place. The general’s face was stoic. He leaned back in his chair with the fingertips of each of his hands pressed against one another.

A dangerous look lived in his eye.

“The Overlords have reached out, more specifically the woman calling herself Chairman,” General Breaker said, explaining the reason for the meeting. “She said they have information for us as to where Jarl and Karn have holed up as well as a weapon that will aid us in deactivating the robot army they’re using.”

“And we trust them?” Elly asked from her seat across from Frank. “I mean, and we trust them, sir?”

“I don’t trust them at all, but the intel they gave us as to where Jarl and Karn would be the first time was correct.” General Breaker rubbed at the bottom of his chin with his left hand. “The enemy of my enemy, right?”

“And of course they don’t actually want to get involved,” Vega growled from her seat next to Frank. “They want us to clean up after their mess.”

“That’s about right,” General Breaker agreed. “I don’t like it any more than you do. And something will have to be done with the Overlords here on Earth, but right now, Jarl has to take priority. Chairman offered to come here and I declined her entrance into the Den. I’ve chosen a neutral ground where she can deliver both the intel as well as whatever this weapon they have is that will help us. Emma will stay here to protect the Den from any further attack while the rest of you go.”

“What?” Emma sputtered. “With all due respect, I’d like to go on the mission with Frank and the rest of the team.”

“I know you would, but we need you here so there’s no chance a repeat of what happened to us before could occur again,” General Breaker said. “You’ll be stationed here with a unit of Arilion Knights from the Academy. You’ll lead them.”

Frank made eye contact with his protégée. It was clear Emma was let down. She wanted to go along with the team and help in whatever way she could, not be left behind and play babysitter. Frank felt her frustration.

“My parents are here now, Jackson,” Frank said to her from across the table. “I know you won’t let anything happen to the Den or to them.”

Emma was much too smart to not know what Frank was doing. She decided not to fight the general on this one and play along.
