Chapter 60

I gripped the seat cushion to make sure we were still in real life and to be sure he'd just said what it sounded like. "Wh-what did you say?"

"I said she'll be glad to see you." He grinned at the dark tunnel stretching in front of us. His eyes crinkled in the corners when he smiled, yet I couldn't see what color they were. He couldn't be much more than twenty-five or twenty-six, the same age as Ellison. "She's always talking about you."

"She's here?"

"Yes," he said, glancing in the rearview mirror. "I think we slowed that Saelis down. I don't see it anywhere."

"Where is she?"

"Relax. I'm taking you to her right now."

"Where are we?"

"The Black."

Captain Glenn had mentioned The Black, the haunted rogue planet orbiting near what was left of Earth. Ships disappeared when they flew too close to it. Because the Saelis took them like they took me? But we were nowhere near it when they boarded the Vicio, at least I didn't think.
