Chapter Sixteen

“Hurry up,” Ethan growled impatiently.

“Sorry, it’s running slow,” the receptionist replied.

Finally, the machine chimed and the door that let into the inner sanctum of Crawler HQ opened up. He and his team immediately set off down the corridor, which was mercifully empty. They made straight for the tiny infirmary and then Lorna and Kiva disappeared into it. Ethan watched as they laid their survivor out on the table and then Kiva began to check over him.

He still hadn’t woken up, and his vitals were worryingly low.

“Can I get this to where it needs to go?” Saxon asked.

Ethan began to respond but looked over as the door to Donovan’s office opened up and the man himself stepped out, rubbing irritably at one of his eyes.

“Tell me you found it,” he said.

“We found it,” Saxon replied.

“Go. Drop off your gear, find Xander and have him escort you to the power plant. Get it installed immediately,” Donovan said.

Saxon nodded and hurried away. Donovan joined Ethan at the open infirmary door.

“Who’s this? What happened?” he asked.

“Survivor of a Stinger attack. He might not make it,” Ethan replied.

“He’ll make it,” Kiva said firmly. “Go on Lorna, I’ve got this.”

“Okay,” she replied, slipping out and then hovering awkwardly nearby.

Donovan watched Kiva work for a moment, then looked blearily at Ethan and Lorna. Finally, he shook his head and rubbed at his eye again. “Okay, Lorna, drop off your stuff, get paid, and go home. Get some rest. We’re going to need you again as soon as possible.”

Lorna hesitated, looking at Ethan.

“Come by my place tonight. We’ll talk,” he said.

She nodded and walked away.

“Give me the rundown,” Donovan said, heading back into his office.

They sat down opposite each other, and Donovan fired up his terminal, typing as Ethan began talking.

“Found a group of people who had been attacked by the Stingers. Tracked the lone survivor of the encounter to the Stinger nest. Rescued him and deployed the bug bomb. Nest is dead, we double-checked on the way back. Found the maintenance bay, found dead Husks, no resistance. People had been through on what looked like a scavenging run recently. Good chance it was the team that got attacked by the Stingers, but no confirmation. Found the part we were looking for, and a few others that Saxon seemed excited over. Came home without an issue.”

“All right,” Donovan muttered after typing for a few moments more. He stared at the screen a bit longer, then grabbed a nearby cup and drained it, pulled a face, and set it back down. He refocused on Ethan. “Nothing else to report?”

“Nope. Gonna change out, get paid, and go home for the night. Maybe take another look at a house we found...how hard will it be to actually make it ours?” he asked.

“Not at all for a pair of Crawlers,” Donovan replied.

“Probably a trio of Crawlers. I think Kasumi might be moving in with us.”

Donovan raised an eyebrow, then sighed softly. “Okay, I’m gonna have to say this now: Lorna is the last one.
