Chapter 11

A New Beginning

Jaylon was waiting for them at the stairs. “Go, I’ll take care of anyone who threatens to catch up to us.”

“Just be careful, Jaylon. I don’t want to lose you,” Noely said as she flew past him.

“Noely!” Her friend was looking at her and did not see the guard come charging through the door. Jaylon slammed against the wall in the center of the spiral stairs, then tumbled down the stairs. His head slammed against the floor with a sickening thud.

“Jaylon!” Noely yelled and immediately turned around. “I’ll be right back, Cyprian. Just give me a minute t-”

Cyprian was shaking his head, “Absolutely not. You are not a fighter. I will take care of this.”

“But you can’t-” Noely tried to grab him to keep him from going back up the stairs, when her feet suddenly hit the stairs. She fought to keep her balance, and by the time she was steady, she could hear the commotion above her. The young woman began to run back up the stairs, but a hand grabbed hers as she fought back tears.

“Thank you for waiting. I was worried that you were going to do something foolish.” Cyprian pulled her along behind him.

“Where’s Jaylon?” The young woman fought to control her voice.

“I’ve got the little show-off.” Her head whipped around and she saw Hisa running along behind them, Jaylon slung over his shoulder like an animal hide.

“What about your men?”

Hisa gave her a warm smile. “You really are such a sweet dear. If things don't work out with the old man, you know where to find me.”

“What? No, I don’t.” Her voice bounced as they moved down the stairs at an impossible speed.

“Ah, well, we’ll figure something out.”

“But what about your men?”

“Adequate confusion. The mess that your friend made was enough to cause quite the stir. I mean, even I would have said that was excessive force, but he must really know what he’s doing. Anyway, with everything all stirred up, no one will be able to figure out what happened. I’ll come back later and tell them that the prisoner escaped because of the guards, even though we sent down an extra one. Blah, blah, blah, and then I’ll slip off to live my life properly.”

“You are going to leave the military?”

The captain laughed, “If I have to salute to another human in the next 50 years, some heads will be rolling, and it won’t be mine. My problem is solved, so I’m out.”

She gave him a look as Cyprian slammed the wall and a door slid open. “Then why are you helping us?”

“What kind of a monster do you think I am? I was not about to see you do something stupid, or give Cyprian a way to get himself killed with honor.”

“There’s more to it than that.”

The man gave her a look of warning before rolling his eyes, “Yes, alright, I wasn’t about to let the little flirt die. Happy now?”

Noely squeezed Cyprian’s hand as they moved into a long tunnel.
