Chapter 23

Officer Lynn pulled into the parking lot at the Med Center. It was a circular structure, ten levels high, that extended out of the Main Building. The windows were tinted and the roof was one of the parking lots for Medical staff. Shamira was thankful that Security Force members and Mars employed personnel were treated at this facility, which would allow her to see her parents everyday she had to report to duty.

Officer Lynn cleared her throat. “You know they have them in intensive care. No one can go up. Not even you, I’m afraid.”

Shamira’s chin dropped as she pulled in the feeling of hopelessness. She swallowed to force her anger in check. It would be abated when she killed the men that dared to threaten her family. Sniffing, she flexed her fingers into fist. “Fine. How soon… I’ve got to see them.”

Officer Lynn’s dark eyes held concern. “I don’t know. But I hope they’ll be better by tomorrow. Your parents are strong, not just because of their enhancements, but they were the best in our class, only 2nd to Cal. In order to be the Security Force Lead, cadets had to be a force within themselves. That’s nothing you can teach. Both your parents had that. You have that. I’ll find out their condition and as soon as I get word on their status I’ll come to the meeting and tell you.”

Shamira gulped back her tears, but her eyes watered in spite of her attempt. Her parents, her world was being ripped apart and she was no closer to finding out who or why. She managed a nod and got out of the car.

She jammed her hands in the long jacket someone had thrown over her shoulders. The numbing pain from this disaster made her forget the little details, but one thing she did know was that whoever attacked them was long gone by the time the force got there. Whatever they used detonated itself and her house. Not to mention, it had the ability to shut down the nanonytes in their technosuits, rendering her and her parents immobile. She just hoped the forensic team could find out what or how her enhancements malfunctioned.

Her thoughts jumbled, Shamira absently pressed the elevator button as she mumbled a brief greeting to the officers around her. She exhaled and headed to the lockers where she kept extra clothes and weapons. The hall leading to the cadet locker room was filled with cadets who littered the hallway talking about the attack on her home. Some whispered as she walked by, others uttered their apologies, some snickered while she moved with her chin downward in thought.

She lifted her head, searching out a clear path; her eyes landed on Valens. Katie’s arms were wrapped around his neck with his hands resting above the curve of her hip. The girl was leaning in to kiss the side of Valen’s mouth. Seething rage slapped Shamira. She let out a growl as she stormed up to them to push them apart.
