Chapter Seven

Alara tried to keep her face straight as Brodin flicked the cuffs off his wrists and pried the collar from his neck. She stepped between him and the peacekeepers when he bent to remove the ankle cuffs. The moment he was free of the restrictive bands, he took a few steps toward the doctor.

"We need to get to the surface to contact my people. If they don't hear from me within the next ten minutes, this is going to get a lot more violent than it needs to be." He wrapped his arm around Alara and pulled her through the crowd of confused peacekeepers.

"What kind of signal are they waiting for?" The facility head followed closely.

"A verbal confirmation. Oddly enough, I don't think they trust you."

Alara wanted to laugh, but she was too busy viewing the future of the hallway she was in. Focussing on where she put her feet was an afterthought. The traffic of Guardsmen in their tight and colourful uniforms was very distracting.

"What do you see?" Brodin's voice was low.

"Guardsmen, everywhere. They are going to scour the facility after we are gone."

"I thought you only saw your own future."

"So did I. This is all new." She rubbed idly at her monitors. "I wish I could get rid of these things."

"They will be removed as soon as we get to my shuttle. We have healers standing by."

She whispered, "What about Isaro?"

"You knew she was one of us?"

"There are not a lot of aliens here. For a Selna and a Dheman to show up in the same week defies likelihood." She chuckled.

"Isaro has already made her escape. She is around here somewhere." Brodin chuckled. "Alomar will find her."

"Her partner?"

"And her husband. He has an ability to find her no matter where she hides or what she looks like."

She chuckled. "That is a handy skill, especially since she doesn't seem the type to stay in one place for very long."

Brodin kept his arm around her as they entered a stairwell and made their way upward.

The doctor behind them was gasping, "We have a lift system."

"I would rather not be in a lift with you in case your folk decide that you are expendable."

Alara peeked behind Brodin to watch the doctor pale again. She grinned brightly at him. "Walking is good for you. Great for you if the power goes out."

He nodded and scurried up behind them.

"Where did the peacekeepers go?"

"I believe they are bracing for the attack. It won't do them any good. Fury and Beast will be in the first wave. Finder will be in the second wave with Frost. Pax and Guardian will sedate anyone in the vicinity after the first shock has settled."

"You have this all worked out?"

"We had it worked out before I floated in here on a crippled ship. Fixer will have my hide for what I did to that poor piece of metal, but it was all in pursuit of freedom for the talents of Dalpha."

"Did you know about me?"

He looked down and grinned.
