Chapter 7

“Rekk, wake up.”

He groaned as a sharp elbow connected with his ribs.

“Rekk.”

“What is it?”

He opened his eyes to find Orin tugging at his shirt..

“Mya thinks we picked up some company at the last stop.”

“Etruscan company?” Dread flooded his gut.

“Yeah, so we’re going to move out. Keep your head down and follow Mya. I’ll be right behind you, okay?”

Rekk made sure the hood of his jacket covered his distinctive hair and zipped up the front, shoving his hands deep in the pockets as he slid out of his seat to stand behind Mya. He didn’t dare use his telepathic abilities. He was fairly certain that his potential captors would home in on his signal in a second.

“Let’s go get breakfast,” Mya announced with a smile. “I’m starving!”

She started moving and so did he and Orin. Ahead of them, he could smell cooking food and beverages, which made his uneasy stomach rumble even more. They passed through two of the moving carriages and then paused outside the third, where he could see a line of passengers at a counter and some tables running down one side.

“How long until the next stop?” Orin asked quietly.

“Too long.” Mya’s fingers tapped against the doorframe. “We’re going to have to get ourselves off this train.”

“At this speed?” Orin frowned as he looked at the countryside flashing by the window.

“If we can connect into the automatic locomotion system we can probably slow it down enough for us to jump.”

“You don’t think the transit system has defenses against that?” Orin countered.

Mya’s smile was grim. “Sure they do, but we have Rekk.”

They both looked at him, and he shrugged. “I am willing to do whatever you require of me.”

“You remember when we were in that bathroom, and we joined our hands so I could get into the security system?” Mya said.

“Yes.” He remembered many things about that particular moment. He glanced at the other man. From the look on Orin’s face, he was also getting way more information than he wanted.

Mya took his hand and placed it palm down on the control panel next to the exit door. She put her hand over his and turned to Orin.

“Come on.”

“I doubt you need me.”

“Orin…”

He placed his hand over Mya’s. All three of them gasped as a bolt of heat pulsed through them.

“Okay, let’s be quick. There’s someone coming through the doors of the last carriage.”

Rekk only had time for a quick glance back down the train to see that she was correct, and that one of the males was raising his hand and was probably armed.

“Now.”

Power pulsed around them, and the train slowed.

“Watch out!” Orin shouted as something whizzed past Rekk’s shoulder and chaos erupted. He took up a firing position as Mya worked on the lock of the door.

“Got it. Let’s go.”

The next thing Rekk knew, Orin shoved him and he was falling and rolling down a steep bank. He had just enough time to draw himself into a tight ball and close his eyes as the train thundered into a tunnel, alarms blaring, and disappeared.
