Marked
“Couldn’t squeeze even a runt like me between it and this rig. All three of us? We let out a breath.
But no time to thank our Lucky Star or jump out to kiss the ground. The first thing I hear is the freighter’s boosters firing up. As the cargo bay doors close behind us, the sound quakes through every surface, and we’re shaken so hard I fear we’ll fall apart, leaving so many bags of bones on the bolt-bitten floor. Only when the doors finally seal is the roar less than paralyzing.
We stumb...le out of the skybrid, crippled by the gut-swoop lift of vertical takeoff. Hands reach out to help, and it’s only then I realize that Larken’s guards are gathered in the hold of Miyu’s vac. They get us on our feet and start hustling us toward the aft end of her tough little freighter. On the stairs, at the cockpit door, I notice how the guards flank Fahra. They’ve pinioned his arms, their eyes alert and suspicious.
