Chapter Eleven

“I’m coming up, Dr. Norbit,” one of the men called

out about an hour later.

Trisha stood and walked to the edge. The first thing

she noticed was that the two dead bodies were gone and

she couldn’t even spot blood on the ground. It looked as

though someone had dumped dirt over the stained areas

to completely conceal the deaths.

Trisha watched the black-haired Species climb up

toward her easily without any trouble managing the

steep terrain. She almost envied his agility and speed as

he approached her. Slade had to shove and push her to

get her to the top. He came up it as easily as a leisurely

stroll on a flat surface.

He had to be about six feet tall with wide shoulders.

Up close Trisha was sure the man was part primate. He

was really cute with his softer-than-normal features. New

Species were usually handsome in a tough-guy,

attractive way. He had the muscular, large frame of a

New Species though when he stood before her. His

features were nearly adorable with his rounded, pretty

almond-colored eyes and his animated features—

primate cute.

“I’m Smiley. Hello, Dr. Norbit,” he crooned softly as

he crouched at the entrance, balancing on the balls of his

feet. He was too tall to stand inside the hole. He smiled

at her. “The helicopter should arrive here really soon.

They have been pretty busy today transporting all the

humans we caught. We tried not to kill any of them

but… ” He shrugged. “Some of them were just too stupid

to live. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine. Is there any word yet on Slade?”

He slowly shook his head. “I’m sorry but there is not.

He is one of our best and there’s no need to worry about

him. He can take care of himself in any extreme

situation.” His gaze raked up and down Trisha but there

wasn’t anything sexual in the way he studied her at

length.

“Who beat you?”

“I was captured yesterday morning but Slade

rescued me. Unfortunately before he did, this

happened.” She pointed to her still-throbbing cheek and

her swollen, busted lip. Slade kissing her crossed her

mind in a flash but she pushed that memory back. “I’m

fine. A few cuts, some bruising and some pulled muscles

are the worst of it besides what you see on my face.”

“Slade allowed you to be caught?” He looked highly

amused as he laughed. “I’m shocked.”

“He didn’t let me. He got cut off from me while he

left to look for a place to stash me like this hole I’m in.”

Trisha frowned. “Slade has saved my ass in the biggest

ways that you can imagine. Please don’t laugh about

this. He killed men to save me.”

His smile faded instantly. “I apologize. There is

nothing amusing about this. Let me help you down and

we’ll wait for the helicopter. You will be flown to a

hospital to be checked over and afterward, returned

home. Justice was very adamant about securing you and

getting you medical treatment before we return to

Homeland. He’s waiting there to talk to you.”

Trisha glanced around the small area but didn’t see

anything that she should take with her. Her attention

landed on the guns. “Should we take those? I’d hate for

kids to climb up here in the future and find them.
