Chapter Nine

Kara was sitting up waiting when I got back.

"Pendanski came by looking for you earlier," she said.

"Did he say why?" I asked, somewhat distracted from my earlier troubles.

She swallowed and said, "He said we're going home tomorrow. We got off on a technicality."

My jaw dropped. "We're going home? Oh my god!"

We jumped up and down in an fervor of excitement. Suddenly, I remembered something.

"Oh no!" I yelled, running out of the cabin. I understood the risks, but I had to talk to Squid.
