Chapter Thirteen

The woman slipped through the shadows of the trees, gliding along a path she’d traveled many times over the years. Even at night, her steps were quiet and sure. Her heart swelled with pride at her ability to navigate this path, and the multitude of others on this alien planet, to The Rendezvous. If she wore a blindfold, she would still be able to find her way.

Stupid ’Ferths had no clue how close the source of their demise lurked to their little villages. Even the Matiran government didn’t know. For all their advanced technological superiority, aliens weren’t very bright.

But, now the game had changed. The stakes were higher, and the cloak and dagger match was at an end. Her gut clenched and she ground her teeth together so hard pain shot along her jaw. All because those fucking healers had interfered. They consorted freely with the enemy. Worst yet, as near as she could tell, they’d discovered an antidote for the illness. It was the only explanation, because she’d seen the two ’Ferths who’d been most recently infected at the wedding. One of them was the groom!

How had they done that? The serum was supposed to be fool-proof, smart, able to adapt to any antidote. After a week of watching and hoping that the illness had only been masked by whatever cure the healers had administered, she had to concede defeat. Both the ’Ferthian males appeared completely healthy. Whatever the healers had given them was working.

How could they help the ’Ferths after what those green bastards had done to Earth? And to Sean, her baby. She blinked against the stinging in her eyes. It was still hard to accept she’d never see him again, and for that the healers were as much the enemy as the Anferthians. She curled her upper lip. Their loyalties mocked all seven billion who had died in the invasion, marking themselves as Terrians, not Earthlings. Earthlings did not turn against Earthlings.

Didn’t it just figure that one of them was the almighty Profeta’s brother?

The woman paused in the shadows, scanning the above-ground military bunker twenty feet across the clearing. It glowed a ghostly white-grey in the light of Matir’s double moons. Only the normal night sounds reached her ears. Funny how all her stalking and fighting skills had been learned from an alien. He wouldn’t be too happy if he found out she was using her training to undermine everything he and his precious captain…no, admiral now…had worked to achieve. And, she would happily use them to end the life of at least one person he cared about.

Nick Bock.

She suppressed a snort. He’d be dealt with when the time was right, as well as the Asian woman. First, Akumari must be informed. That woman was a sly, crazy bitch, but she was useful. It was disturbing the way she kept her face hidden all the time though. There must be a reason why she wanted to conceal her identity. There was no hiding that she was Matiran, but beggars can’t be choosers.
