Chapter 24

Acceleration

I thought I was dreaming at first, when the pounding started.

Well, I was dreaming, just not that part.

Since I wove the pounding into the sound of the dreams, I couldn’t tell the difference.

When Revik shook me gently awake, I fought to keep my eyes closed, protesting with feeble sounds when he only gripped me tighter. I felt the strong need to stay in the dream, if only to see what happened next.

I needed to see it. This felt like my only chance.

By then, the sound at the door had become a fleet of helicopters pounding over the ridge of snow-covered mountains––

“Baby, wake up,” he murmured against my cheek. “Someone’s here.”

“Who?” I mumbled, my eyes still closed.

Revik extended his light. I felt him so strongly, I knew the answer before he voiced it aloud.

“Gaos… it’s Wreg. Something’s wrong, Allie.”

I fought to wake up, actually trying that time, even as Revik slid off his side of the bed.

I rolled to my back as he was already fumbling in the dark with the handles to the dresser, jerking open drawers until he found a shirt and a pair of pants. The pounding started up again, but that time, I felt Revik send a pulse, telling him we were coming.

Once he had, the knocking abruptly stopped.

I glanced at the clock. We’d only been asleep a few minutes.

Revik’s hair was still wet, which meant mine had to be, too.

I watched him step into black pants, sans underwear.

Feeling the beginnings of pain warming my belly, I fought to control my light, watching as he fastened the front of the pants. His eyes glowed faintly in the dark room, and I found myself staring at him even after he was more or less dressed, a long, dark-brown shirt thrown over his shoulders, but open in the front.

He walked quickly to the bed, his own light snaking out. He shook me gently with his hands, but I felt pain on him, too.

“Hey,” he murmured, kissing me. “Stop flirting with me and get up. It’s something about Jon. I need you.”

My light woke up for real.

I sat up and swung my legs out of bed.

I was fumbling through a different set of drawers when Revik left for the other room. I pulled a long-sleeved, stretchy shirt over my head when Revik returned briefly, just long enough to dump the combat gear we’d left on the living room floor near the bathroom door.

“I’m going to let him in, okay?” he said.

I nodded, sending him a pulse of warmth.

He gave me a smile before heading back to the other room.

Throwing on a pair of underwear and pants, I stuffed the combat clothes into the laundry chute after extracting the guns and holsters. I even stuffed in the organic boots, knowing the crews at the laundry services would know what to do with them.

I opened my light as I finished, hearing Wreg and Revik talking in the other room.

Immediately, I got slammed with enough pain to catch my breath.

Fear hit me, hard enough that I only stood there for a moment, trembling.
