IT TOOK A DAY FOR ZEESA to come through, and every hour that ticked by Xandr was certain that Ceetr would make his next move. He hadn’t come to hurt Andie again, nor had he taken her away, but the constant threat put both of them on edge and had them jumping at every loud sound. As far as tortures went, this one was as simple as it was effective and Xandr hated his brother even more for it.

But just past midnight a servant came to his room bearing a note from the duchess and bid Xandr and Andie to follow her. It was their one chance and they didn’t waste time. She took them to the woods outside of the guest house and warned them they had less than an hour before anyone would be missed. It was as good as they could hope for, so Xandr didn’t complain and Andie followed his lead.

A few minutes later footsteps alerted them to the presence of the rest of the crew and when everyone was accounted for Xandr felt like he could breathe deeply for the first time since coming to the planet.

Sayevi, Kiran, Hayk, Taryn, and Malax were all looking at him like he was a stranger, while Keana was favoring her side and leaned against a tree for support. Whatever had been done to her was worse than Zeesa had said, but she was standing and she wouldn’t want to be coddled. Besides, they didn’t have time for coddling.

“I’m sorry,” were the first words out of his mouth. He’d been saying it a lot lately, and it got easier every time he tried. “I should have told you why the duke was after me. You had the right to make a decision on whether to stay or go. Once we’re out of here, I’ll understand if anyone wants to resign.”

They were all silent for several beats and Xandr steeled himself for rejection. Andie stood next to him, but even her presence wasn’t enough to cover the potential hurt of his crew leaving him. But then Hayk shook his head. “We’re with you, captain. Finding a good crew isn’t easy. No reason to let some family squabble break us up.” It was the most he’d ever heard Hayk say outside of a medical setting, and the doctor seemed to speak for the rest of the crew as well.

Andie rubbed her hand against his shoulder in encouragement and Xandr let the rest of his apologies drop. He could spend all of their time together groveling, or they could use it to plan, and for a plan this complex he’d normally want weeks. Hours weren’t enough, and now they were down to a few dozen minutes.

“We’ve been working on a way out,” Kiran said, sparing a glance at Keana, who nodded at him to continue. “But it has some serious flaws. We haven’t been able to figure out how to get everyone to the ship, and we have no way of communicating with Keana’s contact.
