Chapter 12- Wait!
Rain gasped. "So that spy.he was the one who implanted the system?"
Allenby nodded. "Yes, he waited until Sven and I left for dinner the night before! Then, he put it together right up until the next morning!"
"A spy, huh?" Domon tugged at his chin thoughtfully. "The bastard must then be working for someone on your colony."
"That someone must've thought you wouldn't be able to keep it up on your own." Rain added.
"Senator Green." Allenby growled, driving her fist into the table, nearly destroying it in the process. "Damn him!"
"Oh Allenby, then that means that Sven WAS innocent!" Rain declared.
The teal-haired girl's heart began to race. "But what if he.?"
Domon got to his feet. "Come on! We can take the corelander to the port!"
"Right!" Allenby followed after him. 'I'm coming Sven! Please! Please wait for me!'
.........
"Attention! Last shuttle, Shuttle 238 is about to depart. All passengers please prepare for departure!"
Sven slowly, painfully, rose to his feet. He stood within just a few yards of the entranceway to the shuttle plane, what would take him back home. He placed a hand to his cheek, where it still stung from Allenby's slapping him. Sighing, he began the slow, painful march. This was the last shuttle; he could put it off no more. Allenby wasn't coming for him.
He made his way to the entrance and headed up the ramp. He still couldn't believe he was doing this. He never thought, since the time he spent with Allenby in Guyana, that he would be going home alone.
.........
The instant the corelander pulled up to the port, a shuttle plane took off for the night skies. Allenby leaped from the seat of the vehicle and ran up to the fence. "NOOO!!! SVEN!!!!"
But it didn't stop for her. Soon, it was gone, bound for the colonies far away.
Domon grimaced. "Damn."
KA-CHINKKA-CHINKKA-CHINK!!! Allenby's hands slipped from the chain fencing as she came to rest on her knees. She stayed in that posture, that defeated, tired posture while she sobbed.
