Chapter Six

Sabeen opened her eyes and immediately realized that her entire relationship with Pax had changed while they’d been inside his memories. He’d gone from fine to furious with Rennick after a simple touch, and that was a reaction she hadn’t been prepared for. It was terrifying that his grip on his emotions was so tenuous.

“They’re back!” Carys still sat beside her holding her hand. “How was it? Did you figure out who’s trying to kill Aidric?”

The others came to stand beside them, leaving Sabeen little chance to catch her breath and process what had happened. “Not exactly, but I think we have more information now.”

Pax sat up, and Sabeen couldn’t help but stare at his naked torso. There was little indication that he had any cybernetics at all, which seemed so strange after seeing the modifications of the other cyborgs. He didn’t look at Sabeen directly, but she could feel his focus on her as he tried to get up from the bed.

Hallam pressed a hand to Pax’s chest, keeping him in place. “You’re going nowhere.”

“I need to talk to Zee and Rykal. We have two major problems that need to be handled immediately.”

The doctor shook his head. “I need to run a scan on you first, then you can deal with everything.” Hallam turned to look at Sabeen. “I want Aerin to run some scans on you as well. You’re only the second human to use this device and I want to ensure there aren’t any lingering effects.”

“Okay, that’s fine.” Sabeen got to her feet, thankful for the escape. “Carys, mind coming with me?”

“You’re not getting rid of me that easily.” Carys pushed the chair away, the scraping sound echoing in the room. “Lead the way, Aerin.”

The moment Sabeen left the room where Pax was, it became easier to breathe. “That was intense.”

“I thought it might be.” Carys shook her head. “When I was linked with Darrick that way…there weren’t any barriers between us and having all of his anger and self-loathing swirling around was a lot to handle. Not to mention he was on the verge of killing himself.” Carys shuddered. “What happened to the two of you in there?”

Sabeen stared at Aerin’s back, who was leading them to another room. “It’s a bit personal.”

“Hey Aerin?” Carys moved up beside the doctor. “How long will this take. Not to be a jerk, but I wanted to chat with Sabeen in private.”

Aerin directed Sabeen to a bed and picked up a scanner. “This will only take a moment to run and then I will leave you to talk.”

“Thanks.”

Sabeen sat silently as Aerin ran the scanner across her body, frowning slightly as she went. It was never reassuring to have a doctor frown, especially when looking at test results. “Is there a problem?”

“No. Expected modifications to your brain waves have happened sooner than expected. And they’re far more focused than we’ve seen with humans at this point. Interesting.”

“Is that a concern?” Carys peeked at the scanner readings before looking up at Aerin.
