Chapter 27

Just in case any of them looked back, Seb waited until they walked around the bend in the tunnel before he said, Sparks, are they following us?

No. They might not have remained where they were, but they definitely haven’t stepped out of the zinconium.

Seb then turned to Reyes. What the hell were you playing at? You nearly got us into a fight we didn’t need to have. What’s wrong with you? Have you not killed enough beings yet?

Although Bruke had let go of Reyes, he remained close so he could grab her again should he need to. A scowl at Seb, she said, It doesn’t matter. It won’t happen again.

I think it does matter. If you need trigger warnings, I’d like to know. Then it hit him. It’s something to do with the Faradis, isn’t it?

Reyes spun around with her gun raised and pointed it at Seb. Despite Bruke’s close proximity, SA got to Reyes first and pressed the tip of one of her knives to her throat.

Even in the darkness, Seb saw the marine gulp and then lower her weapon. The point of SA’s knife forced her to keep her chin raised. Tears swelled in her eyes before running down her cheeks. A few tense seconds before she said, I’m sorry. You’re right, it’s all to do with what happened on the Faradis. But now isn’t the time to talk about it, so please don’t mention it again.

Seb reached out to SA and tugged her back. Although reluctant, SA lowered her knife and stared at Reyes as she stepped away. I’ve had no reason to doubt you until now, Seb said. I get that whatever happened on the Faradis has left a lasting impression, but please remember we’re in this together. We’re here for you, but don’t drag us down with your past trauma.

I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. For real this time. I’m sorry. While Reyes spoke, tears ran down her face. A tough woman, her expression remained stoic despite her clear show of emotion.

Come on, Seb said. Let’s get out of here and find that damned pillar.
