I will see you in a little while." I will, Gail, I promise I will be good," replied Johnny, as he looked around at all the healthy humans rushing arou...nd the huge ship helping the escaped slaves."Johnny you're going to sleep now, when you wake up you will be healing," replied Captain Hollow as she injected the boy with a sedative.Around the bay, thousands poured out of the shuttles.

Who's the geezer!"Our lips parted, and Shelly turned to look at the frat boy look-a-like behind her. I looked around her head and totally, utterly, failed to be impressed.

He gestured for her to sit. She did, fidgeting beside her.
