Chapter Eight

LARN SAT AT THE LONG rectangular table with the rest of the crew. He absently rolled the bottom edge of the half-empty glass of ale on the surface, his gaze constantly drawn to Kira. After the mishap in the shuttle, she’d showered and changed. With her silky auburn strands flowing freely over her shoulders, she appeared even more beautiful than he’d imagined all the times he’d lain awake in his cell fantasizing about her.

They had recently finished their evening meal and were coordinating their plans for Ross’s rescue with Dolok via the large virtucom mounted at the end of the room.

“There is a good chance the fight will be held somewhere in the city. They will only transport the prisoners designated to fight.” Larn remembered being chained and dragged from the ship by Harris’s guards the few times they’d landed at different locations. “Unless he has Ross fighting, he will probably be left on the ship.”

“Since we have no way to determine where he will be held, we will need to separate into two teams,” Dolok said.

“It seems like the most appropriate plan.” Larn downed the last of his ale and returned the glass to the table.

“How many hunters do you have on your ship?” Kurt directed his question to the man in the image on the screen.

“There are three more in my team,” Dolok said.

“Is that all we have to work with? From what I could tell, the Slayer had at least twenty armed men in their crew. What if the Crusher’s crew has the same number, or more?” Kira tapped the table.

“Sounds like we’re going to need more help.” Kurt picked up the pitcher of ale and refilled his glass.

“Another team is on their way, but the distance from Tarron is great, and they will most likely not make it in time.”

“This isn’t the first time the odds haven’t been in our favor.” Burt rubbed the length of his jaw.

Garrett chuckled. “Ain’t that the truth.”

“How do you suggest we assign the teams?” Burt directed the question at Larn, a clear indication he acknowledged his leadership role for the mission.

“Burt will accompany Dolok and his crew to the arena. Kurt and Sarge will go with me to the ship.”

“What about me?” Kira’s irritation rose with her tone.

“You will stay onboard with Garrett and monitor communications.”

“Like hell I will.” She jumped to her feet, almost knocking over her chair. “I understand Garrett staying behind because of his broken arm, but there’s nothing wrong with me.”

Larn knew she would fight him on this, but he was adamant in his decision to keep her safe. “You are not going. It is too dangerous, and you could get hurt.”

“You need me. The Crusher is the same issue cargo freighter as the Slayer. If Harris modified it the same way, then I’m your best chance of getting around undetected. I spent days moving around the ship without getting caught.” Kira inhaled deeply and gripped the edge of the table. “I would also like to point out that I was alone and managed to get your sorry ass off the ship.
