The drug should be worn off the soldiers by now. She ordered Zandar to accompany the guards. Zandar unlocked the cell door and sent the guards with him to herd the other drugged guards out of the room. After they did that they carried Zarana out by her arms. Zandar didn’t say a word to her even though she had called him by name. He led the soldiers up to the dining room. When they entered the room Zandar saw that Zartan still had Trinity by the collar. “Put her down!” he said, to him his voice sounded far away. He half recognized these people. The pink haired woman had called him by name but he couldn’t for the life of him remember hers.
Zartan saw the guards drop Zarana on the floor and back away. They recognized Zartan and wanted no part of this man’s anger. Zarana lay on the ground nude, she was gasping for breath and crying. “Zar? Can you stand?” asked Zartan his voice filled with concern. “A little I think?” she answered, “Good we’re leaving” he said putting Trinity down but not releasing his hold. He grabbed her by the arm and started to drag her to the door with them.
Zarana stood slowly, grabbed one of the heavy curtains and wrapped herself in it. She started walking towards the door, following Zartan who was dragging Trinity. He was stopped by a gun barrel to his temple. “Let her go!” said Zandar holding the gun on Zartan. Zartan released Trinity who quickly got behind Zandar. Zartan didn’t know what had gotten into his brother but he didn’t want to hurt him. “Shoot him!” hissed Trinity.
Zandar looked at the man on the other end of the gun. His hand started to shake, part of him wanted to obey Trinity the other part screamed no. The part screaming no, finally won barely. Zandar lowered his weapon “get out!” he said. Zartan nodded there would be time enough to deal with Zandar later.
Zartan put his arm around Zarana and led her out of the base. Surprising enough no one stopped him from leaving. A few even held the door for them. Zartan stole one of the jeeps and drove out of the area.
Trinity stared at the retreating figures of Zartan and Zarana in disbelief. Why didn’t he shoot them? Shakily she groped for her chair arm, found it and sat down. Zandar had disobeyed her she thought dazedly. He was still standing by the door watching them leave. “Zandar?” she said suddenly afraid she had lost him completely. He turned looked at her, frowned and walked out of the room. Trinity just sat and watched him go, she knew now the spell had been broken. He would go or he would stay the choice was his now.
Zandar walked down the corridor his head slowly clearing. The last few moments returning with sickening clarity. His memory finally putting a name with both the man and woman’s face. Zartan and Zarana, his brother and sister, he felt sick inside. Zandar went to his rooms and locked the door. No one saw him for several days. Trinity ordered his duties assigned to another, she wanted to give him time to think. She knew she had hurt him, part of her regretted it at least the human part.
If he had been anyone else she would have shot him for insubordination but this was Zandar. The love of her life and for the first time in more than a millennia the spirit Xenia regretted her actions.
Trinity was wandering around her base partly because she was hoping to find Zandar. The other because she wanted to access the damage done herself. Reports of the incident were making their way through the ranks. One of the rumors said that Zandar had left, Trinity wanted to make sure that one was untrue.
She found him in the gym using some of the equipment. She stood in the doorway watching him for a moment. Zandar saw her out of the corner of his eye and ignored her. She moved closer, she could tell he was still angry with her. “Zandar?” she said softly now standing next to the bench. He ignored her “Zandar can we please talk?” Zandar let the weight bar go that he was lifting; the counterweights came together with a loud clang.
He looked up at her his lips pressed together an angry scowl on his face. “Zandar I’m so sorry” she started to say. Zandar held up his hand silencing her tirade with a glance. He didn’t want to hear her apologies; he glared at her angrily when she started again. He didn’t have to say a word his eyes said it all.
Trinity stood there biting her bottom lip and trying not to cry. She was losing that battle rapidly “Zandar” she whispered hoping he would say something anything. Everyone else in the room was leaving; the room was soon empty of all but them. He still glared at her silently. He reached over picked up a towel and dried his neck with it. He wiped his face then put the towel down. Looking at Trinity he finally said “what do you want me to say Trinity? Are you looking for forgiveness?” he said Trinity swallowed that hit home. “Well say something, or are you going to blubber at me?” He said Trinity swallowed and wiped her eyes “your right I don’t know what to say except I’m sorry” she said “it’s a little late for that” he answered “Zander please tell me what I can do to make this right” she said “I’m not sure that you can, I’m not sure anyone can” he said the last part softly. “I never wanted to hurt you,” she whispered. “Well you did,” he answered. Oh damn he’s not going to make this easy. “Zander I” she paused Zandar didn’t know what to say to her. “Just leave me alone for awhile, I need some time alone” Trinity nodded
Zartan returned to his swamp base. After he dropped Zarana off at the hospital under a false name. He told the nurse it had been a frat party she had been at. Then he went home emotionally spent.
Xamot left his office; it was just starting to rain. For the first time in his life he felt utterly alone. He didn’t know where he was going. And at the moment he didn’t care. He was too upset to even think, his brothers harsh words kept ringing in his ears. He was driving around aimlessly now when he somehow found himself in front of Zartan’s cabin.
Xamot hesitated him and the mercenary had never really gotten along. With the way he felt right now more negative was something he couldn’t handle right now. Still he knocked, by now it was pouring and he was soaked to the skin. Even though he had been outside for only a few minutes.
Zartan was seated in his chair thinking, when he heard a knock at the door. The dreadnoks were watching TV, fortunately they were being quiet. It was as if they sensed his mood and didn’t want to disturb him.
He went to the door and opened it. He froze when he saw who was at his door. When he saw one of the twins on his porch he almost told him to go away. Then he saw the look in his eyes. The hollow vacant hurt look in his eyes was so pain filled Zartan looked away.
Xamot looked up at him and said softly “I think I’ve lost my brother” he said his voice cracking. Zartan waved him inside and gave him a cup of coffee. “She’s taken him from me” he said in shock as if he couldn’t believe this was happening. Zartan frowned, the Dreadnoks gathered around offering comfort. “We must do something,” Xamot said at last. If fact Zartan had been planning on just that.
“The problem is she has all of the cobra forces at her command” said Xamot. They needed allies and quick. His mind wondering trying to think of where to find them. Then his mind drifted back to this morning, of course Jay. “I might have an idea, but I have to talk to her first,” said Xamot. Zartan raised his eyebrows her? Zartan pointed him towards the phone. He came back in a few minutes “I have to go meet with her, I’ll be back” he said His spirits actually were lifted by the fact that he was doing something about the situation.
Xamot pulled up in front of the small hotel. It was an old building that looked like it was built sometime in the forties. He walked up the stairs and knocked on her door. Jay opened the door, to find Xamot standing at her door. The phone call earlier had shocked her but she was willing to hear him out. “Come in” she said motioning for him to enter.
