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, sheâd showered and changed. With her silky auburn strands flowing freely over her shoulders, she appeared even more beautiful than heâd imagined all the times heâd lain awake in his cell fantasizing about her.
They had recently finished their evening meal and were coordinating their plans for Rossâs rescue with Dolok via the large virtucom mounted at the end of the room.
âThere is a good chance the fight will be held somewhere in the city. They will only transport the prisoners designated to fight.â Larn remembered being chained and dragged from the ship by Harrisâs guards the few times theyâd landed at different locations. âUnless he has Ross fighting, he will probably be left on the ship.â
âSince we have no way to determine where he will be held, we will need to separate into two teams,â Dolok said.
âIt seems like the most appropriate plan.â Larn downed the last of his ale and returned the glass to the table.
âHow many hunters do you have on your ship?â Kurt directed his question to the man in the image on the screen.
âThere are three more in my team,â Dolok said.
âIs 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 Crusherâs crew has the same number, or more?â Kira tapped the table.
âSounds like weâre going to need more help.â Kurt picked up the pitcher of ale and refilled his glass.
âAnother team is on their way, but the distance from Tarron is great, and they will most likely not make it in time.â
âThis isnât the first time the odds havenât been in our favor.â Burt rubbed the length of his jaw.
Garrett chuckled. âAinât that the truth.â
âHow do you suggest we assign the teams?â Burt directed the question at Larn, a clear indication he acknowledged his leadership role for the mission.
âBurt will accompany Dolok and his crew to the arena. Kurt and Sarge will go with me to the ship.â
âWhat about me?â Kiraâs irritation rose with her tone.
âYou will stay onboard with Garrett and monitor communications.â
âLike hell I will.â She jumped to her feet, almost knocking over her chair. âI understand Garrett staying behind because of his broken arm, but thereâs nothing wrong with me.â
Larn knew she would fight him on this, but he was adamant in his decision to keep her safe. âYou are not going. It is too dangerous, and you could get hurt.â
âYou need me. The Crusher is the same issue cargo freighter as the Slayer. If Harris modified it the same way, then Iâm your best chance of getting around undetected. I spent days moving around the ship without getting caught.â Kira inhaled deeply and gripped the edge of the table. âI would also like to point out that I was alone and managed to get your sorry ass off the ship.
