Chapter 14

“Adam? Adam? Z? Please respond.” Eve’s voice brought me out of my unconsciousness with a gentle pull.

“Here,” I choked out the word into my transponder, and then I opened my eyes.

A flickering red light cast a morbid glow into the interior of the pod. The opposite sides from where Z and I were strapped in were crumbled like a plastic jug that had been stepped on, but there didn’t appear to be any damage on the side where we sat. My friend was still unconscious, and her blonde hair draped over her face in a way that prevented me from seeing if she’d been injured.

“Thank the stars,” Eve said. “You haven’t responded for a few minutes.”

“I don’t know how Z is. Hold.” I reached up to unlock my straps, but it was hard to move my arm. I was so damn tired. I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep.

My hand was human. I must have changed form when I fell unconscious. It meant that the monster inside of my DNA wasn’t powering my body anymore, and I would need to sleep soon.

I gritted my teeth and managed to reach the buckle of the harness. I popped it open and then fell the meter or so to the crumpled interior of the pod. It felt good to lie against the warm metal there, and I allowed my eyes drift closed.

“Adam? Adam? Adam?” It was as if Eve was pulling me out from under twenty meters of water. I kept trying to swim to the surface, but I just couldn’t move into the sun. The water here was so warm, and it hugged me like a thousand lovers.

“Adam!” Eve’s scream echoed in my mind and sent an electric current through my spine. I sat up against the inside of the pod and then banged my head against one of the chairs.

“I’m awake. I’ll check on Z,” I said into the transponder. Then I moved to my friend and smoothed the hair back from her face. I didn’t see any cuts or bruises there, so I reached my fingers to unfasten the buckle between her breasts.

“Ha, so flirty. What about Eve?” the hacker whispered with a chuckle.

“Huh?” I asked as I pulled my hand away from her, but then I realized that the hacker was unconscious again.

“It looks like Z is okay,” I said to Eve as I reached back to unbuckle my friend. She fell into my arms as soon as I released the harness, and I slid her over onto my right shoulder so her chest draped across my back.

“That is a relief. I just eliminated the last frigate. Persephone is undamaged, but I had to fly onto the opposite side of the moon to evade some drones. I will return to pick you up in eight and a half minutes.”

“I’ll pull her out of the pod so we can wait for you. Did the other pods make it to the surface?” I asked.

“I believe most of them did.
