Queen paused by the door. She was getting no connection to Deep Blue back home and she couldn’t raise Rook either. Something was scrambling communications.

Two things, she thought in something like a prayer. That’s all I want. Active coms and Richard Ridley’s head back in a bird cage.

They were fools to have freed the man. Now with Alexander dead and no longer a threat, Ridley would go after the most powerful weapon he could find. She didn’t know what his long game was, but as soon as she saw Seth’s smile when he activated the gas, she knew it had been his plan all along. Not the duplicates’, Ridley’s. He had somehow planned the whole thing out himself.

A burst of gunfire in the corridor had her crouched by the door, ready to add her own bullets to the fray.

“Ready, Knight?”

The small man was deadly in a fight and as hardy as the rest of the team, but the loss of King seemed to have demoralized him worse than the rest. He didn’t respond to her.

“You want me to—” Bishop began.

Queen whirled on Knight, who was slumped against a wall. His face was paler than usual, and she knew it was the gas they had breathed. She moved over to the man and saw his eyes were glazed and unfocussed. “Knight?”

No response.

She shook him by the collar of his battle suit.

Knight didn’t respond to the shaking.

“Shin!” Queen shouted and slapped the man across his face.

His eyes startled and fluttered. Then he focused in on Queen and she saw an angry glare creep across his face.

“You awake? You with us? We need you, man.”

“I’m good,” Knight said. “Fucking gas. I’m a little guy, you know.”

Queen grinned. He was, in fact, a few pounds lighter than she was, though that was their little secret. “Good, I’ll open the door and cover you. You try to find the jamming device and disable it. I want Deep Blue’s support, and I want to put Ridley back in his grave. Can you handle that?”

Knight nodded.

She turned to look at Bishop. No longer looking like his normal serene and placid self, Bishop appeared to be dealing with King’s demise and their betrayal by the duplicates in his typical fashion. Rage. The kind she hadn’t seen on Bishop’s face since the days when he’d been infected with Ridley’s regenerative serum.

“You okay, big guy?”

His eyes darted to her, sharp, focused and burning. He didn’t need to say a word. He was ready to tear someone apart.

She moved back to the door, and cracked it open. She heard shouting in the hall and peered around the door frame, her MP-5 up and ready. At the end of the hall, she saw Rook’s armored form leaping into a doorway. Men were at the stairwell door at the end. Down on the floor, a grenade skittered to a stop.

Knight crouched next to her, about to leap out into the hall and run like hell toward the far end of the corridor, in search of the jamming device.
