been nothing but women for me for so long, I forgot what a man could do for a girl.” She fanned her fingers in front of her face. “Every single one of those guys is so damned hot.”
    Lizzie leaned over and gave Kiera a hug. Funny how she’d thought this one was sort of stuck up and not all that friendly when they’d first met. Amazing how first impressions could change. “I hope everything goes okay. Arnec’s going to be in that final fight against the Gar, and I know Tor’s chosen to stay, too.”
    â€œTeev and Sakel aren’t back yet, either.” Kiera sighed. “I hardly know them, but I can’t stop worrying. How can they matter so much to us, so fast?”
    â€œI think it’s because they’ve been in our heads as well as our bodies. They’ve taken their forms from our minds, which makes them familiar to us. And face it, we’ve probably been more intimate with these guys than we ever have with any human lovers, male or female. I know I’ve never been so uninhibited in my life. Not that I’m complaining, mind you!”
    Lizzie leaned over and picked up Zianne’s tote. The tiny squirrel slept soundly. She’d not moved at all during Lizzie’s shift and hadn’t awakened when Kiera came into the shack. Poor thing, and poor Mac. She couldn’t imagine what he was going through right now. So much riding on their success, and so many things that could go wrong.
    â€œI’m taking Zianne with me,” she said. “We’ve got enough Nyrians here with their soulstones; they should be able to share more energy with her.”
    â€œI hope so.” Kiera ran her fingers over the squirrel’s fluffy tail. “It would be horrible if we managed to save everyone but Zianne. I don’t know if Mac could handle that.”
    â€œDink, either. He loves her as much as Mac does.” Lizzie took a step toward the door and thought of one more thing. “I guess Morgan’s probably not going to be relieving you.”
    Kiera nodded. “I know. He and Finn should be leaving about then. Can you believe those two? It still seems impossible that they’re going to somehow get transported to a spaceship that’s on its way to attack the earth. I mean, a week ago I thought aliens were a bunch of hooey.” She sucked in a deep breath, slowly let it out, and cocked her head to one side as she looked at Liz. “Remind me to keep an open mind about shit, okay?
    Lizzie just laughed at the perplexed look on Kiera’s face.
    â€œAnyway,” Kiera said, “I imagine they’ll leave from here. If Mac asks, tell him I’ll stay on duty as long as they need me.”
    â€œOkay. We’ll probably all end up in here by this afternoon, anyway. I know I want to be as close to the action as I can get. And I’ll admit I never thought the idea of aliens was hooey. I always figured there had to be someone out there, but to actually meet them? To be involved in a rescue and a fight against some really scary aliens? Not in this lifetime.”
    Except it was all much too true. Liz opened the door and a bright shaft of sunlight spilled into the small building. She glanced at the tote she’d slung over her arm to check on the squirrel. Zianne slept on. Then she shot a quick glance over her shoulder at Kiera. “Boggles the mind, ya know? I’ll see ya later.”
    She closed the door behind her and took a deep, controlled breath. The August heat reflected off the rocky ground and shimmered in waves across the plateau. The nights were so clear and cold, it was hard to believe how warm it could get during the day. The smell of burned wood lingered, a reminder just how volatile the forest was this late in the summer.
    And just how volatile and dangerous their position had become. She wondered about the guys that had been spotted on the back side of the plateau. Wondered what they really wanted, because no
