Bound Together

~ SASHA ~ 

Sasha sat there, staring at them, waiting. It was an act of will not to squirm in her seat. She prayed Nick had been telling the truth about their abilities to measure truth in a person, that whatever gave them that insight was telling them that her words rang true. And that it would be enough to get them to rethink how they were doing this.

"I want to make sure I understand," Nathan said carefully. "You're saying that you and Zev have developed a bond that links you physically—so that if one of you dies, the other does also?"

Sasha nodded.

Nathan's lips thinned. "Nick, is this possible?"

"I don't know," Nick said, "but she's saying what she believes is true. We came right here, but I can get some checks made with the ancients."   

Sasha cut Nick a look. He'd said Yhet was the only ancient left, hadn't he?
