First’s beenpromoted.
Catch swallows thickly… resolve hardening in his throat like a rock he can’t quite choke down. So unaccustomed to this feeling; the sudden whim taking hold, solidifying into something essential. Into a sense of fuckingpurpose.
Like something actuallymattersagain.
“Wherever you’re going, I’mgoing.”
First says nothing as Catch digs through his closet for a clean shirt. A button-up, like Hilt iswearing.
“They have to give me my wings back, too. You told them that, right? Adam?” He turns to find First gone, the door sliding shut in his wake, and Hilt still watching him. “The hell’s hegoing?”
“You’ve got worse problems than all that shit.” Hilt’s tone is a strange blend of caution, warning, and sympathy. “Those ships that just came in? Your girl’s on one ofthem.”
Catch just stands there, half-dressed, unable to process this. He didn’t even say her name, but they both know exactly who Hilt’s talkingabout.
Hilt pats him on the ribs and heads for the door as Catch struggles to wrap his head around it. Lana…here… on hisstation.
Rightnow.
“She’s not my girl,” he manages to say, but Hilt is alreadygone.
