Thorne stared at the Liu croanderthal for several seconds. He weighed his answer very carefully. The ideal approach would be to respond in a diplomatic tone. Maybe tell her what she wanted to hear then figure out a way later to get free. But the way she studied him, the way her eyes belied an intelligence that her caveman-like features didn’t, told him that bullshit would be detected instantly and that he would pay for it with his life.

“Won’t happen,” Thorne said finally. “Ballantine won’t let you off this island. Odds are he won’t let you live. You already know that. I just spent a year working operations that we thought were legit missions, but turns out were probably just Ballantine’s way of cleaning up his messes. This place is a mess, but I don’t think he knew that when he first brought us here.”

“Ballantine always know,” the Liu croanderthal said. “Now Ballantine here. Protocol. Destroy island if mess. Destroy me leader. Destroy me people. Clean up mess.”

“Shit,” Thorne said.

“Yes,” the Liu croanderthal said. She grinned her sharp-toothed grin. “Ballantine not destroy island if you here. Ballantine not destroy me leader, me people, if you here. You make sure no destroy. You make sure me leader live. Me people live.”

“Like I said, that’s not going to happen,” Thorne said. “It’s not up to me.”

“You useless,” the mutant woman said. “Done talk.”

“Hold on!” Thorne shouted.

Her fist hit Thorne hard between the eyes. He slumped, but didn’t pass out.

“You meat,” she snarled as she hit him again. Thorne went completely limp. “Stupid, stupid meat.”

She dragged him to the door and the other croanderthal that had remained with her yanked it open so she could pull Thorne out into the corridor beyond. She tossed him out there and pointed at the other croanderthal.

“Kitchen,” she ordered. “With others. Kill. Dress. Dry. Need food store. Ballantine no give in.”

The other frowned at her. “No give in?”

“Make give in,” the mutant woman growled. “Me leader. Me make Ballantine give in. Me take ship. Me leave island. Ballantine stay. Stay in mess. Die in mess. Ballantine loose end.”

She lurched off down the corridor and the other croanderthal grabbed Thorne by the ankles and dragged him in the opposite direction. The long trail of dried blood on the corridor floor showed that Thorne wasn’t the first body to be dragged that way. But he may have been the first living one.
