Unlike Zack’s hopes, Kiera balked at the idea of being shipped off to Minbar.
“If you think for one damn minute I’m letting you cart me off there, you have another thing coming Mister Allan!” She raged at him, radiating anger toward him in psychic waves that crashed into his mind almost painful in their intensity.
“You don’t have much of a choice. Entil’Zha has dispached a special unit to come pick you up. They’ll be here in less than a day.”
“And what does the Captain have to say about this?”
“She was persuaded by the President.”
That caused Keira to sit down in shock. “As in Sheridan? No way in hell would he care about a little teep like me. Hell, he didn’t care much when Lyta got sold down the river did he?”
Zack bristled. “Some of us cared. But we had to think about the whole. Allowing that war to continue would have doomed everyone, and you wouldn’t be here to tell the tale.”
“Just what would you know about that then? You’re not the weapon!” Keira spat back.
“No, you’re right I’m not. But almost three years ago we picked up a ship full of teeps bound for servitude in Shadow vessels, probably where you would have ended up.”
There was silence, as realisation dawned on Kiera. “Are they still here?” She asked softly.
“Yeah.” Zack’s tone was more gentle now, his anger vented. The mood in the room changed from hostility to remorse.
“Can I see them?”
“Why?” A puzzled look crossed Zack’s face.
“Because my sister is in there.”
