Chapter 17

Ian and Scythe sat together on a crate that they had moved to the wall, leaning their backs up against the cool cement. They had just taken over for Temper, who was getting what rest she could before their departure in only a few hours. The rest of their team was doing the same, the Kin bunked in the truck, and the Humans outside under the stars.

Scythe took a last bite of the sandwich he had snagged from the relief supplies brought over from Juniper. Work for the night had halted, and all but a security crew had been transported to either the small hospital in Juniper or the border patrol station. Reave, having finally conceded to the doctor’s orders, took one of the last trucks to town. Before he had gone, he had told Scythe, “I am asking for my team to be replaced and the operation reevaluated before more units are deployed.”

Scythe nodded. He had given the captain his full report and transferred the data he had thrown together onto a portable reader he had taken from his team’s supplies, one of the few places to find functioning technology after the fires. “And Rogers?”

“He’s doing the same, if he has half a brain. That’s not my problem. You’ll be on your own for a bit. Is that going to be all right?”

“It might work out better, since we’ll be disappearing in the confusion of things.”

“I’d thought about that,” Reave said, shifting to make himself more comfortable in the seat. He bowed his head, “I thank you, for your service to my okin.”

“It was my honor,” Scythe replied.
