~ Okay, Firey, this is for you. The last chapter ties into my master plan.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to make Zekk out to be the bad guy, although,
in a way, he is. But it will all work out. ~
Chapter 15: Redemption
"Jaina? Are you alright?"
Zekk's voice shook Jaina out of her reverie. She was still standing in the cockpit of Zekk's ship. She wasn't in the cargo hold, and Zekk hadn't touched her at all. It had all been a messed-up vision. But was it really a vision? Or was it just her imagination? Jaina didn't know, and quite frankly she didn't want to find out.
"Jaina? You're starting to scare me. Could you at least let me know that you're alive?"
Jaina turned to face Zekk, but then she saw his intense emerald gaze. It was the same gaze she'd seen in her mind just two minutes ago. She couldn't face him. Not like that. So, she did the only logical thing to do.
She ran for the escape pods.

Jag dropped out of hyperspace. He's managed to cut four standard hours off of the jump to Gallinore. He searched his scanners for anything. He saw Kyp's ship to his right. There was nothing ahead of him, save the planet. He did a quick scan to the left. He saw a few ships, but none of them stood out. Frustrated, he flipped the switch to hail Kyp.
"Can you sense her anywhere?"
"No. I can't sense her but-"
"What? What is it?"
"I found them. I can't sense her, but Zekk, well, he's shining brighter than a nova right now."
"Lead the way, Durron. We're going to get Jaina back."
* * * * * * * * * * *
Jaina sprinted towards the escape pods. Zekk had no idea what she was doing, but she knew that she had to get out of there. She managed to reach one of them and hoist herself inside. She sealed the door shut and hit the eject button.
Zekk, Jag, and Kyp all watched as Jaina's pod hurtled towards Gallinore.
