What Asia had experienced with her mom moved inside of him. His heart demanded attention for what he’d just witnessed. The edges of his body felt soft, malleable. But he couldn’t remove himself from the pain the colony, especially Michelle and Kennedy, was suffering. Considering what had happened to Casey, Michelle appeared fairly collected. Shaun sat close to her on the couch, her hand on top of Michelle’s and Izabelle in her lap. Asia crouched in front of Michelle. “We’re getting him back, Michelle.” Tears brimmed Michelle’s eyes. “I know, Asia. It’s just hard to think of him in that horrible place. Shaun hasn’t told me much, but I know anything to do with TNG is horrible.” “I know. We’re not going to waste any time. We’ll rescue him before anything unthinkable happens to him.” Asia stood and directed her gaze to Kennedy, hunched up on the floor near the window. “He’s going to be okay, Kennedy. You can help us make sure.” “He’s tough, you know that.”
