IT was quiet. The soft drizzle of rain caused a hushed static that kept
their ears from ringing, and the squelch of their boots in the mud
told the tiny, white woman that it wasn’t a problem with her hearing. Step
by step, they pushed through the town with swords drawn, tense, seeking
any sign of movement.
A shutter flapped in the wind and one of the men, Razor, twitched. All
eyes jerked to the threat. When Sal looked back, her brother was blushing at
his reaction. He caught her eye and shrugged.
They pushed on. Blaec had ordered them to secure the town – if the
small cluster of buildings even qualified as such. The streets were empty,
there was no smell of humans in the air, but the earthy scents of iliri seemed
to permeate everything.
Just as the unit began to relax, Blaec’s voice sounded in their minds.
Zep, Razor, Arctic, check the – he gestured to the large building in the
middle of town – tavern, inn, thing. Whatever that is. I need two grauori
maargra, at least, to sweep the houses. Hwa, you’re in charge of them.
Audgan, Geo, head over a street. Sal, Cyno with me, and I want Shift and
Risk to float as needed. Keep your senses open, people. There’s supposed to
be a unit of Terrans here.
I’m not getting shit, Razor replied. You sure we’re in the right place?
Blaec glanced over his shoulder and looked at his soldier. Your skill,
man, not mine.
With a grin, Razor nodded and closed his eyes. They all paused,
checking their surroundings while they waited.
I got nothing, LT, Razor thought, finally. Faint tug to the northeast, but
it sure as shit ain’t close.
You just looking for Terrans, or humans? Zep asked.
Terrans, or those in the Terran military. Trust me, it works. Doesn’t
matter what citizenship they claim.
They stood motionless for a second before Blaec sighed. So? Move,
guys. I need a full sweep. Let’s act like elites!
That was enough. They all began drifting in the direction they’d been
ordered, and Sal slid her sword back into the scabbard, feeling more
relaxed. Signs of recent habitation were everywhere. Clothes hung wet on
lines, windows stood open with drizzle soaking the curtains inside, but the
buildings were in good repair.
When did it start raining here? she asked.
Two days ago, Jase said, following her eyes. Ya think they all just left?
She shrugged. There’s something here, but I couldn’t tell you where.
Blaec was listening. Friend or foe?
I’m not sure, love. I just feel like something’s here. I can almost hear it.
She looked at him, meeting his eyes. Yes, it’s been going on a while. No, I’m
not making a deal out of it. Yes, we will talk about it later
