Yuriko sat up quickly when she heard the deep voice echo down the corridor.
"I said open the damn security grid!"
Yuriko got slowly to her feet as the shimmering blue field barring her cell disappeared. She recognized that voice. She would recognize that voice until the day she died. It was the voice of the only man to ever show her an ounce of kindness.
"Yuriko!" The voice echoed urgently in the corridor and she moved forward tentatively. She stepped into the brig corridor and saw him looking into empty cells, the Spartan she now knew as the Queen's brother his constant shadow.
"I… I am here father." Yuriko let the words out softly, knowing he would hear them with his acute wolf ears.
Martin froze as he was stepping into the empty cell when he heard her speak those words. He turned quickly and saw the attractive young woman standing in the center of the corridor. He took several steps forward and stopped, gazing at her intently.
