Chapter VI
"Kane?" Amelia said.
"Are you working with her?!" Matilda said, trying to get up without using her hands, "Why did you release her?"
Matilda fired question after question. Amelia had a bloody look on her face. Only Jessy remained silent.
"I'll explain everything to you. I promise. Let me just make sure I take all their guns," I said and looked at Emma.
She already had the white weapon in her hand and had set it at the highest level. The blue lines glowed incandescently. She had leaned against a command table, where she had also placed two knives with the black steel tip still covered in blood. I removed the remaining weapons from the men's pockets and holsters and used one of the knives to cut the strings that held the girls' arms together.
"I had to release her. It was the only way to save you."
"Yeah, but now who's gonna save us from her?" Matilda asked.
When I looked back at Emma, she had the gun next to her right leg and her finger on the trigger. Her screaming laughter rose above Matilda's whispers.
"Don't worry. I'm not thinking of hurting you." She said, "Let me off at the next exit and we're good to go."
"We can't do that," Amelia said, "you're a serial killer,"
"Yes, but I saved your lives. Nothing's free. You look like someone who understands that,"
"And I do, but I can't let you go like this. Punishments must exist."
"Then don't let me. Give me a place here."
"No." Amelia answered.
"No way. She'll never have room for someone like you." Matilda said, her teeth grinding.
"No? I know her look. She's a killer. Just because she's changed doesn't mean she's lost her instinct."
All eyes had fallen on the captain. She walked around, already with her hat on her head, tapping on the tables over and over again. Emma didn't move. She was contemplating space, her eyes wide open, and for the first time I saw in them a glow that I had only seen when she was about to hurt someone. Jessy had taken a small flashlight out of her pocket and had asked Matilda not to move while she checked that she was okay.
"Chef, you're not really thinking of having her on the ship, are you? She'll kill us while we sleep." Matilda repeated, moving away from Jessy and running towards Amelia.
"If I wanted to, I'd have killed you by now." Emma answered and beckoned with her head to the gun she still had in her hand.
"This must be just your plan to surprise us later. I bet that turns you on." Matilda answered her.
"Well, I can't say it wouldn't be funny but no. I need a place to stay and hide and what better place than the ship of the people who captured me? If anyone asks, tell them I ran away."
"Things don't work that way," Jessy said, "but she's right about one thing. You were once like her, Amelia. If you've changed, couldn't she, too?"
"Even you, Jessy? Are you all crazy?" Matilda asked, "What about you, Kane? You're on my side, right?"
I didn't know what to tell her.
