Chapter Eleven

“How long to reach the hive station?” Lara asked.

“It’s a long hop. We need to stop, stock up on weapons, and get our wounds healed.” He eyed her. “And get some new armor for you.”

Her arm was throbbing, but it wasn’t bad. “You know a place?”

“Yes, another stealth station. This is a planetary one, near the border of the Tyloth Quadrant.”

She nodded. “Sounds like a plan.”

The control console chimed and Caze touched it. “Incoming call. From the Desteron.”

A handsome warrior’s face appeared on the screen. He looked almost like a clone of Davion, but Lara noted a few differences. This man had interesting lines around his mouth that said he smiled more than the war commander.

“Brack,” Caze said.

The man inclined his head, his curious blue-black gaze falling on Lara before moving back to Caze. “Good to see you alive and all in one piece. We got word of an altercation on Titania.”

Caze nodded. “A slight…problem with our informant.”

“Davion is waiting for an update.” Brack’s lips quirked. “And you’re surviving working with your new…partner?”

Caze made a sound and Lara raised a brow. “The partner is sitting right here. And he’s doing fine. I’ve barely even beaten him up much.”

The man on the screen’s smile widened. “I look forward to meeting you another time, Lara Traynor. Hold for the war commander.”

An Eon logo flashed on the screen.

“Brack?”

“A fellow warrior on the Desteron, and often an annoyance. He enjoys…”

“Pressing buttons. Poking. Needling.”

“Yes.”

Eve’s and Davion’s faces appeared on the screen.

“You’re okay?” Eve asked.

Lara nodded.

Davion’s face was serious. “What happened?”

“Degam sold us out,” Caze said. “We had to…finesse our way out.”

Lara elbowed him. “He means fight our way out and make a huge mess.”

Eve laughed, then her gaze moved between Lara and Caze. Lara saw speculation.

Great. Sitting back in her chair, Lara kept her face clear of emotion. The last thing she needed was her newly-in-love sister digging where she wasn’t needed.

“Caze,” Davion said. “We have intel that the Kantos are pushing hard to find you. They want the gems.”

“That’s not going to happen.” Caze pulled in a breath. “We got information from Degam on why the Kantos want the gems.”

Davion’s brow creased. “Tell me.”

“They’re building a weapon. I assume they need the gems to make it function.”

Davion cursed.

“The gem of Eschar is on a hive station in the Tyloth Quadrant.”

The war commander cursed again. “Wait for us. We’ll meet up with you, and infiltrate the hive station with a team of warriors.”

“They could already be testing a weapon, Davion,” Caze said. “It’ll take too long for you to get here.”

“Degam said the weapon is powerful,” Lara added. “A potential planet killer. They want to go after Earth, then the Eon homeworlds.”

“Fuck,” Eve muttered.

“Caze and I will retrieve the gem,” Lara said.

Caze’s unhappy gaze turned her way.

She held up a hand. “No arguments, warrior. You know I’m capable.”

He blew out a breath. “Lara and I will retrieve the gem.”

Eve looked worried. “Be careful.”

“Careful is my middle name,” Lara said.

“No, it’s not,” Eve replied. “‘Blow it up’ is your middle name.
