Everyone Wants Them

"Not yet," I shook my head and she seemed a bit energetic as she stood on her feet and shouted while clapping:

"Then let me talk with them."

"Why do I feel you only want to add them to your forces?" the spearhead said, and I couldn't find any fault in what he just said.

"What? Is that all that you are thinking about?" Hilary responded sharply at him, yet she didn't even deny such a hypothesis at all.

"That's the only thing I can think about," the spearhead shrugged, looking directly into her eyes without any fear.

"Stop it," I had to intervene. Even if she was planning to do that, I wouldn't say no. After all she held much more importance than the two standing in front of me. "You'll come with me," I turned to face her and she gave me a chuckle in response.

"As for you two, you have to not only hold the city but be prepared."

"For what?" The spearhead looked a bit angry about my decision. It seemed not only I, but everyone here felt how important these humans were.
