Chapter 19

“Georgiahana says the DNA has been corrupted beyond repair in several of the samples. However, in the rest she was able to identify the same unknown component found in the prisoner from the House of Axl known as Ryddyck.” Leena stood at the front of the main tent giving a full report to Layla and Hex, confirming every one of the Doctor’s worst fears.

She seemed upset. Almost scared. She kept referring to a piece of paper in her hands as she spoke. I couldn’t wait for the meeting to end so I could hold her and tell her I wouldn’t let anything happen to her. She would never become a Salishan or a Ryddyck. Then I would make love to her until she forgot there was anything to worry about.

It was a solid plan.

One that would reassure me as well.

“What do we do?” Hex said. “Kill the poor bastards and put them out of their misery? Or is there something they want from us that we’re not understanding? Doctor, is there anything that can be done to return them to their original state?”

The Doctor stepped forward to stand beside Leena. “No. I’ll continue working, of course, but my current opinion is that with the DNA altered the way it is, there’s nothing in our current abilities to save them.”

“Do you agree?” Layla asked Leena.

She nodded. “I do. I’m not the expert that my sister is, but from everything she explained to me, no. This is what they are now. Whether that is a bad thing or not, remains to be seen.” She rushed on, sounding nervous and unsure. “I’d like to take a team to study them. Perhaps a mix of Wren and Heida. My siblings and I are half Gatlin, as you know. We all have some form of psychic gift and as the Doctor explained, there seems to be some sort of psychic component to their transformation. Perhaps we can communicate with them or at least understand whether they're in pain or what it is they need.”

Layla held up her hand to stop Leena’s babbling. “That’s enough. I understand your meaning.” She glanced at Hex who nodded once. “Put a team together. We’re not going to rush up there. We’re going to be careful and take every precaution. But…you’re right. We need your help to come to a resolution.”

Leena half bowed and returned to a seat out of the spotlight.

The whole rest of the meeting was logistics and planning. Shit neither of us needed to be there for. Hex would tell me what he wanted me to do. In situations like this he took his role so seriously he couldn’t see straight. It was fine with me. I knew what I wanted and where I belonged. When I sat in his seat I’d worry about the things I needed to worry about and not a moment before. I itched for the rest of the meeting to get to Leena. There was a sadness that surrounded her I didn’t understand but needed to.
