Tennae tightened the sash about her trim waist. Hector had retrieved a robe for her and now sat across from her at the table. She finished her breakfast, feeling more at ease and able to think clearly. Leaning against the backrest, she wondered what he was thinking as he silently watched her. “You are staring at me like a child waiting for his dessert.”

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Congratulations. You have described my feelings better that I could have.”

Her cheeks stained red. “You promised me that we could spend the day talking.”

“And so we shall. What would you like to talk about?”

“I want to know about the mistruths you stated. Why would you state the males of my Sector have lied to the women?”

“Because they have.” He rested his broad forearms on the table and clasped his fingers together. “For years, my people have discovered much about yours. We have watched your culture closely, finding it hard to believe that because of the men’s unquenchable thirst for sex, they would be willing to eventually see the Sector die out. Mankind will never survive if we all take up these habits. Your men care nothing for those who would become their wives and only worry about their immediate gratification.”

“You are wrong.” Tennae squared her shoulders, ready to defend Karn. “The man who I was to marry—before you stole me away—is kind and decent. He…he has never been with another woman, especially with these diseased women from some cave you claim to know of.”

“So you believe me about the Caves?”

The sudden illnesses and disappearance of so many could not be discounted, but Karn partaking in such devious sexual acts with contaminated women living on the outskirts of her home? She shuddered with the thought. Karn loved her! He spoke often about growing old together. “If there is such a place, why then are only the women infected with these illnesses that claim their lives. Why do the men remain healthy?”

“Because they hoard the drugs that clean their bodies of the many scourges.”

“Ha! You are wrong in that assumption. No one in Sector Seven takes medication. It is something that has been outlawed for over a hundred years. Now there is no need. “

“That is because only a certain amount of vaccinations survived the Great Shake. With a limited supply, your men have decided to keep it for themselves. No one in your group has had the foresight to look to the future. There will come a time when Sector Seven will be wiped from Earth. The diseases will eventually kill all of your people. They would have eventually killed you long before you were an old woman if I had not taken you away.”

A shiver ran down Tennae’s spine. As much as it pained her to think about it, his words made sense, especially when she thought about the many strange deaths. There were old men in Sector Seven, but not a woman over the age of thirty.
