Chapter Three (C): Jake & Thorchan

[Akirapryde]

Alima moved forward with her weapon trained on the body and an eye on Jake, just in case. She lowered herself next to the assassin and placed a pair of fingers on the neck of the assassin. "He's dead" she announced as she picked up the blade and secured it on her body. She then moved closer to Jake and Kimiko.

Jake handed the weapon over to Alima and then pulled out his communicator. He spoke over the open net for the entire party to hear him. "There was an assassin. He is dead. Kimiko is safe. We are located in the number two hanger bay."

In the background, everyone heard Alima saying, "You are injured and require medical attention."

Jake let out a bit of laughter, "yeah and that too." Jake paused a moment, "Erik, I need to speak with you as soon as possible."

Kimiko kept her head buried in Jake's chest. He didn't want to admit it, but it actually felt good to be a hero. Or maybe that was the loss of blood.
