Chapter 44

Anissa arranged them all in a circle with Lydia at the twelve o'clock position. Galen was on Lydia's right, Jason on her left. Next to him was Lori, a short, bubbly woman with medium brown hair, and then her husband Eric, who could have been Galen's younger brother. They were about the same height and blond, but the younger man was slimmer and wore glasses. Then Wesley took David's hand, while the shorter, frizzy haired man, held hands with Wes and his Djinni wife. Galen and Jason sat on the mattress on either side of Lydia and each grasped one of her hands, which were still chained to the bed above her head.

"Ready?" Jason asked.

"You good, sweeting?" Galen asked Lydia.

"Hurry." She nodded and tightened her grip on Galen's hand.

"One last thing." The kiss was long slow and sweet. He tried to infuse it with all the love he had in his heart. "Fight for us."

"I will."

Jason coughed and kept his eyes focused on the photocopy he held.
