Having met Lacey, I'd begun to pity the SeekerShe deserved a mild, pleasant new life with the
Flowers
Ironically enough, Ian was the one who took my side and helped hurry the raid alongHe still
didn't see where this would lead
But I was grateful that he helped me convince Jared there was time to make the raid and get
back before a decision was made about KyleGrateful also that he was back to playing
bodyguardI knew I could trust Ian with the shiny cryotank more than anyone elseHe was the
only one I would let hold it when I needed my armsHe was the only one who could see, in the
shape of that small container, a life to be protectedHe could think of that shape as a chanel ceramic watches friend,

We had to be fast, in case Kyle ruined everythingWe went to Phoenix again, to one of the
many communities that spun out from the hubThere was a big shuttle field to the southeast, in
a town called Mesa, with several Healing facilities nearbyThat was what I wanted?I would

it was dark, a long line of small snub-nosed shuttles drifted in to land while others took flight in
an endless stream
I drove the old van while the others rode in the back?Ian in charge of the tank, of courseI
circled the field, staying clear of the busy local terminalIt was easy to spot the vast, sleek white
vessels that left the planetThey did not depart with the frequency of the smaller shipsAll I saw
were docked, none preparing to leave immediately
?Everything's labeled,? I dolce |
