TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER, Blaze, Evelia, Elayuh, and several soldiers wound their way around a final corner where more soldiers were waiting. Blaze had taken time to quickly wash and bind his injuries and to prepare himself for whatever might be ahead. Although soldiers watched him nearly every moment of the trip, they left him to himself when he made a trip to the bathroom to retrieve the staff and they failed to inspect his boots that held small throwing stars sheathed on the interior side where they pressed against his upper ankle.

“Well, look here,” boomed a deep voice with a sardonic tone as the door behind them shut.

“Lock,” came the order of one of the soldiers behind Blaze.

“I didn’t know the trouble maker was a daddy,” mocked the nameless man with the strong voice, “and I didn’t know his girlfriend was such a fine little thing.” His voice was menacing and left Blaze bristling. The large man was now casually walking towards Evelia and letting his eyes wander. “And she looks like she’s dressed to entertain doesn’t she?” A number of encouraging chuckles echoed throughout the room as he got closer to her.

Steady, Evelia instructed. Blaze wasn’t even aware that she was anticipating his moves. She sent Blaze a mental image of herself thrusting her free arm in front of her while turning the baby away from the man. He instinctively understood that this was his signal to do whatever he was planning to do – but not before then. Without any words exchanged, her plan was crystal clear without any words shared.

“You two saved Master a lot of trouble,” the deep voice boomed again, looking particularly carefully at Blaze. Blaze couldn’t tell if he was scowling at him or just carefully assessing the young warrior. Unwilling to give him the slightest advantage, Blaze offered nothing in return apart from a blank look that showed he was listening. “The way the magic woman handled Dr. Boyd was brilliant,” the man continued. “Master couldn’t have performed the execution any better. But we can’t have any competitors aboard this ship so we need to come to an agreement. … We need to secure your support. We need to be assured of your loyalty,” he finished. This time, his look towards Blaze was more discernible. This wasn’t a meeting for negotiations; this was a meeting for intimidation.

“Sweetheart,” he flattered as he slowed his pace down, nearing Evelia. “Before we start the questioning, I need a little favor from you.” Blaze fumed and felt an arm grabbing his shoulders from behind as if to warn him to stay passive. Five foot ten inches, one hundred eighty five pounds, fairly strong, inexperienced or not very bright, Blaze concluded with nothing more than the grip for guidance. With no words forming in his mind, Blaze further concluded that the grip would not restrict his intended first move – nor his second. Blaze kept his eyes meticulously aimed at the man walking towards Evelia but his focus was upon his peripheral vision.
