Chapter Eleven

Two days later Lola sat on the shuttle with her hands clasped tightly in her lap. So far she was keeping everything together but it had only been a few minutes since they had left the Colonial Planet’s atmosphere. She purposely did not look at the viewing screen. It would set her off to see everything turn black as they entered space. It was a dark beauty. One that still haunted her at night.

'Are you okay?' LarIS asked her using their telepathic link. He sat in the copilot’s seat and AshOR was piloting the shuttle. He glanced back to where Lola sat beside Lizzie. Her face seemed awfully pale and her whole body was tense. Perhaps this was a bad idea.

Lola felt relief as soon as LarIS spoke to her. His voice even in her mind was deep and soothing. She looked up at him and gave him a smile. 'I am a little nervous but I am holding up. Shouldn’t you be paying attention to flying this thing?' she teased him.

'I’m the co-pilot. I get to watch beautiful passengers and flirt with them.' He gave her a wink before turning back around.

She glanced around the shuttle but no one was paying any attention to her or LarIS. Prime ConEL, Lt. Daniels, and ConEL’s son, TorEL, sat next to each other. Lizzie sat next to Lola but she kept turning her head to look back at Commander TylOR who was sitting beside the pretty therapist. Her friend did not appear to be happy about it.

She touched Lizzie’s shoulder. “Are you okay?” she signed

“I’m fine. I just …”

“Is there something going on between the two of you?” Lola signed.

Lizzie shook her head but didn’t say anything. There wasn’t anything to say. The man pissed her off.

The next thing Lola knew the shuttle was docking on the Colonial transport. She gripped her armrests as she felt the clamps that latched onto the shuttle get secured. Then there was the swishing sounds from the air being pressurized. Well, she was here now so there was no turning back.

Once they unloaded from the shuttle a lieutenant showed them all to their quarters. Lola and Lizzie shared quarters. Much to Prime ConEL’s dislike he and his son shared quarters while Lt. Daniels had to share quarters with Dr. Garrett. TylOR and his brother, AshOR, shared a room, which left LarIS having his own quarters.

LarIS, Commander TylOR, and AshOR had to go speak with the commander of the transport to debrief him. Lola was a little disappointed LarIS had to leave. She hoped to spend some time with him.

'I will come and get you to show you the ship as soon as I am done with this meeting.' LarIS sent her the mental message.

Lola shivered. She didn’t realize he had heard her thoughts. She must have been distracted. 'It’s okay, I know that you are very busy.'

'Never too busy for you. Give me an hour, then I will come and take you on a tour.'

Lola couldn’t wait.
