He knew they had minutes, at best, before every building in the town was alerted to their presence and rose to attack. Thano! He thrust the call into his teammate's mind, hoping they were recovered enough to hear him. Zach! We gotta go! Meet me outside. Now! There was a ripple of foggy acknowledgment in his mind.

But to her credit, she didn't waver.
