Setting the Stage

'They aren't going to let Kendra give her to us.' Zani said as he paced his claws digging into stone. He was only the size of a small dog at the moment and he felt like he was on a horrible edge. He was terrified that something had happened to her but knew that it hadn't. He would know instantly if she was no longer alive.

"Maybe not, but Kendra will bring her. Demetri sent the twins with, plus Niki is there. Trinity said he went to make sure." Xerxes didn't know how to feel with all this… help. It was strange to know others cared or felt they owe a debt and did not complain about it. It was nice.

'You trust him when he worked with them?' Zani was just worked up so it made him snippy. It was Xerxes who had to remain calm or they wouldn't be thinking right.
