Leaving Zaccs to coordinate the retreat of the surviving Cartel troops, TeraDon moved quickly to the medical bay; his mind firmed to what had to be done. It was the only way.

The Humans were continuing their relentless march through the complex, coming ever closer to the command center. How they knew where to find it was another of the myriad of mysteries clouding TeraDon’s mind. Why had so much gone so wrong so quickly? There was no explanation.

Entering the room, he approached the two guards watching the Human. Each had comm units and were fully aware of what was happening outside the medical bay. The evacuation order went out a few minutes ago, and now the guards were anxious to join their companions in finding a safe way past the Humans.

Summer Rain glared at TeraDon. She had recovered from before and was standing near the hospital bed, too angry to sit.

“What now? Are you going to take me to your master—”

TeraDon pulled a short knife from his utility belt, and in a smooth, choreographed move, slashed the throats of both guards before they could react.

The Human’s mouth fell open, and her eyes grew to round orbs.

“What the—”

“Come with me if you want to live.”

“Where?”

“We must find your companions. They are sweeping through the complex. We must get to them before the Cartel ships arrive. There is not much time.”

“Why?”

“As I said, my ships are—”

“No, why are you doing this?”

“I never cared for Te’moc, and when he ordered your death, I could not let that happen. Not to you.”

He ordered your death! J’nae screamed in Summer’s mind.

Shut up!

Summer looked up at the handsome face and piercing blue eyes of the alien. “You’re saving … me?”

“Yes. Although I do not wish to save the entity within you, I do not have a choice in that regard. But you do not deserve what is happening. Come now. We must warn your friends. The Cartel ships have been ordered to destroy the base and all inside. There is nothing I can do to stop it. We must leave.”
