Chapter 21
Asher stopped struggling and watched as Tak was leaning against a wall and playing with a knife. He was board out of his mind. But then someone walked up to her with a cable in his hand.
"Is that the half breed everyone's talking about?"
Tak put her knife away in her boot. "What does it matter to you?" she asked.
"I was sent to the one that hasn't caused the Tallest any trouble."
"Any trouble," Tak laughed. "This half breed been nothing but trouble for me. But that's the one that you're looking for. Why do you need him?"
"I over heard someone saying that the detention cells were crushed in a weird impact. I guess that the other half breed managed to get away. That's why they sent me here. They want to be sure that this one doesn't escape either," he said as he pushed Asher forward and secured some kind of harness around his waist. But while the Irkin was trying to securer the cable with his wrist bindings in front of him instead of behind, Asher started kicking around, trying to at least prolong the process.
"How's that going to help?" Tak enquired.
The solider got up. "If the Tallest feel they need to move him, this will take him to where they are."
Tak started to grind her teeth and clench her fist. "Are you telling me that the Tallest see me incapable of guarding my prize."
The Irkin soilder held up his hand. "I never said anything of the sort. I must go now." and he walked away.
After he was out of sight, Asher was starting to pull at the harness again in his fruitless attempts to at least loosen it. Tak pulled out her knife and threw it at his head. If Asher hadn't been scared before, he was now.
He then tried to be threatening like he had seen his mother do a thousand times. "If you so don't let me go, so help me-"
"Your sister or parents will save you," Tak interjected, clearly not impressed. "You finally talk for yourself after all this time." She bent over and grabbed his face. "You're not threatening, you're annoying; just like your father." She then slapped him in the face. "Still can't believe that I grabbed the wrong guy," she mutter to herself after grabbing her knife and went back to the other wall.
