Raven started calculating times and distances. Trying to figure out who would hear about them going missing first, Roan or Bellamy Blake, and how soon after that they would figure out what had happened. And how soon after that they would be able to organize some sort of response.
The only mathematically supportable answer was too fucking long.
Looking at Cage Wallace’s twisted face, his eyes burning with dark fury, she honestly didn’t like the odds of her and Clarke surviving on his good will alone until then. They needed to find their own angles to work, and fast.
Then she heard quiet thumps, boot steps softened by the carpet that was laid throughout the charter vessel.
A small group of soldiers entered, wearing full hardened body armor, including shielded helmets. The armor was worn and banged up, but still clearly identifiable by the bright royal blue and bold crimson of Montovetero. One of the soldiers stepped forward, facing Wallace, his shoulder stripes marking him as a senior officer. He pulled off his helmet, revealing himself as a very pale, nondescript man on the near side of middle age.
“Colonel Lovejoy, at your service, sir!” he announced, snapping into a salute.
“Hello, Colonel,” said Wallace, with a broad grin. “Good to see you again.”
“Good to see you, too, sir.”
“I’d like to introduce you to our guests,” and Wallace turned to gesture at Raven and Clarke. “The Cefodemorta, as you know, is the angry-looking blonde on the right. On the left, is Raven Reyes, Neutral Observer from the UIS. She will be our guest as we try and sentence Clarke Griffin for crimes against the people of Montovetero, and for crimes against humanity.”
In the pause that followed, one of the soldiers standing toward the back of the small troop stepped forward, ripping off his helmet as he drew closer. “Raven?” he exclaimed. “Is that really you?”
Raven already felt like she’d entered another dimension as she fell hostage for the second time in as many months.
But this, this took otherworldly to an entirely new place.
“Finn?” Raven blinked again and again, trying to clear away the impossible. “Finn Collins?”
