Markota hesitated, then nodded to the medic. “We’ve got nothing to lose. ”

Vigos acquiesced. “Okay. But call if there’s any change in her condition. ”

“I will, ” Jag promised.

When they were gone and the door had shut behind them, Jag put his flight helmet down on the end of the bed and sat beside Jaina. He took her free hand in both of his. It was limp and lifeless, and cool to the touch.

Despite his determination to want to help her, now that he was alone he had to admit that he really didn’t know if there was anything useful he could do. There was no enemy he could line up in a targeting reticle and fire upon; there was just Jaina, locked in the mind of a very sick young woman who also needed help.

“I’m here, ” he whispered close in to her ear. “And I’m not going anywhere, Jaina. Not until you wake up. You know what that means, don’t you? It means that Twin Suns Squadron is unattended. And we can’t have that, can we?”

He stared at her face in silence. He hadn’t really expected his words to have an immediate impact upon her condition, but he couldn’t help hoping they would-that just hearing his voice would be enough to make her come back. But when he searched her expression for any sign of recognition, he found none. She remained still, emotionless, sleeping…

He squeezed her hand between his. Although he knew the room was probably being monitored, he didn’t care who saw him, who heard him, or who might disapprove of his sentiments. All he cared about right now was Jaina. And from the way his heart ached, that’s all he felt he could ever care about.

“I love you, Jaina, ” he said. The words came easily for him.

“Please come back to me.”

Saba kept all her senses alert as she matched her pace to that of the Ferroan kidnappers. The path they’d been following had run out half an hour earlier, and they were now moving through unbeaten wilds of the tampasi. Despite the lack of any obvious trail, though, the Ferroans seemed to know where they were going. They moved as one with silent determination through the dense undergrowth. Every now and then they gave directional orders to her or Jacen, but never allowed themselves to enter any conversation. Nor were they prepared to come within a meter of her-although Saba had no doubts that this would change once they reached the camp where Senshi and the other conspirators were meant to be located.

Security of numbers would inevitably make them feel less intimidated by the Jedi Knights.

The farther they traveled, the more uneasy Saba became-mainly because of Danni’s condition. She knew that Jacen would never knowingly put Danni’s life in jeopardy, and the fact that the young scientist remained unconscious was obviously weighing heavily on his mind, but Saba still felt compelled to take the girl and try to find a way back to the others in the hope of getting her some medical attention.
