"We're working on a way to get to her, Son," Michael said gently, understanding well their concern. They loved Khaat just like so many people did. "We're doing our best. It's going to take a bit, but we're doing our best. The best any of us can do right now is to pray that she keeps her training that we gave her as a child at the front of her mind. Remus and Robert and I all played our parts in training her as best we could until it became automatic to her...."
"Khaat's alive," Robert said, interrupting Michael. "I can feel it. If she were not, I would know. Instantly. I can feel intense distress from her, but she's alive. My best guess is that she is doing her level best to follow what we told her so many years ago. She's a fighter, Steven. Nobody gets the best of her easily. So you know, I'm already working on adding help to our crew. I have made Jen the head of law enforcement, and I am issuing a full pardon to Rob Dent. We need their help. Neither one of them need to continue paying for that mess that happened back in May. And besides, I need them. More importantly, Khaat needs them. If anyone can penetrate where we need to go, its Jen and Michael. They have the wisdom and the stealth we need...."
A figure stood in the doorway and cleared his throat. Robert looked up and instantly recognized the figure. "Everyone out. Now," he ordered. "Stand guard outside for a bit, please. No one comes in until we're finished."
Michael recognized the figure and looked at Steven, Jack and Ronata. "Alright. You heard the Minister. We're out." He ushered them into the hallway.
