The man was especially grim, and neither exchanged their usual barbs. They both felt the charge in the air. Why else would so many CFA operatives have assembled in the hospital ward? At least the colonel no longer looked like an animated corpse. He remained in intensive care, but he wasn’t stuck with as many needles, tubes and monitor wires. He was dressed in a shirt and track pants, and had recently shaven. The man’s will was granite. Evan’s brief glance toward his recovering mentor was replaced by the full-on slam of Katsu in the waiting room. So distracted by the monitor set up in the colonel’s room, he’d nearly forgotten that he and Kat had arrived at the hospital together. That’s why he couldn’t have her. Nothing, not even dominating Katsu and making love to her, matched the intensity required of fending off threats so few people on the planet knew existed. His duty obliterated all. It was his job. It was heartbreaking. Let alone that telling the colonel what had taken place at Quincy would mean Evan’s imminent death.
