Vicki dashed over to hug Mars. “Take care of yourself, and stay in touch.”


He hugged her back. “I’ll try. You behave, you hear.”

Dylan chuckled. “At least I rated an honorable mention.”


“Like she said,” Emmet added, “both of you be careful and keep your heads down.”


Mars saluted, then he and Dylan got into the copter. Moments later they were in the air.
