Page 56 of Crossing Quinn

Giving me the evil eye, Quinn sat down in the pilot’s seat. “I’ll move the Talon behind the moon and wait for you, Adan.”

A brilliant orange glow popped into existence and spun rapidly.

“Too bad we don’t have a way to give the Tai-Kok some var bugs,” I said

“Yes, it would be a fitting punishment.” Adan morphed into his true form and stepped into the vortex. Slurppp! He was gone.

Papa watched closely. “Amazing.”

“You look like the walking dead, Papa. Go clean up; we need Mami conscious.”

He nodded and left.

Wulf announced, “The Overlord has been informed. He is gathering a battle fleet to stop the Tai-Kok.”

I kneeled beside my mother and patted her face. “Wake up, Mami. We need you.”

She opened her eyes. “Got chocolate?”

“We do,” Quinn answered.
