34 Lance – but now what? (1/2)
Moments after rounding a curve in the road, so that we were out of sight, the two girls who had been abused the most collapsed.Serina stopped and huddled over them looking like a destroying angel.[Bit, we need you.!] echoed in my head.
[Serina, darling. Do you really want them to see Bit?]
[Point taken, knock out injection first?}
[Good thinking.]
In unison, we both pulled our Medits and swiftly set up a knockout.Five touches and five sleeping beauties lay on the ground. Beauties, was right! At that moment I was glad that we did not have our full connection. Although Jane is the understanding type. ”Bit, reconfigure to accept five wounded and pick us up.”
Overhead a glowing disk formed and slowly descended. It did not take that long to load the girls into our ship, and shortly we were safely back in the air.
”Jane, my love, we need to figure out how to handle this little situation you created.”
”There is no way that…” Jane started to fiercely retort.
”No, you simply reacted before I did.” I interrupted. ”I agree with the rescue, but pointing at the girls, now what?”
Bowing her head for a moment, Jane stood silent. Then slowly tears began to drop on to the deck. One plop, then another until it was raining a steady stream of tears. I pulled her in close and quietly waited it out. I mean after all….
Hiccupping, Jane burbled out, ”I'm sorry,” or I think that was what she was trying to say.And all I could do was hold her close while stroking her hair tenderly.
”Does it help that I love you?” I said. ”And no matter what, I'm in this with you till the end?”
Jane snuggled close, her head on my shoulder, and we just continued to stand there in the middle of Bit's deck.Time slowly drifted by until Serina pulled away, (I could tell by looking in her eyes that Serina was definitely back in charge. In some respects, having 'two' women for your wife is sometimes hard to track, but I loved all of the moods. And was she really any different than 'normal' women, as in my short life I had learned that they were massively complex creatures and I'm not sure that they are the same race as men. They had to have come from some race of super beings…)And she said the four most wonderful words while looking me straight in the eye. She said, ”I have an Idea.” We slipped into our pilot chairs and swiveled them so we could see each other, and yes, she did indeed have an idea as became apparent as we talked.
