if he would have the power to protect you from that back then.”
     
    Sonia inhaled and slowly let out her breath as she confessed, “It hurt.”
     
    “I know,” Becca said. “But he hurt just like you. I see how different he is in just the short time you’ve been here. Give him a chance. He needs you here. He knows that.” She smiled. “We all need you. You have amazing abilities.”
     
    Sonia felt the tension drain from her body. “You’re right. I overreacted.” They talked a while and then played around with mixing their abilities with remarkable success. Becca was picking up on her dreams.  
     
    Three hours had passed and Sonia felt a gnawing worry in her stomach. She told herself it was simply that she hated fighting with Kel, that she was in emotional knots, but deep down it felt like more. “Shouldn’t they be back?”
     
    “Things can drag out on missions,” she said. “Why don’t we take you on a tour of the building so you know your way around.”
     
      Thirty minutes later, Sonia was in her room, promising to take a nap to be alert when Kel returned, but she just couldn’t shake the bad feeling inside. Another half hour and she went in search of answers.
     
    She ended up beside a computer room, when she overheard Sterling saying, “They’ve been out of communication too long.”  
     
    “I’m the best tracker we have,” Damion said. “I’ll go check things out. If anyone’s down I’ll know.”
     
    She hurried into the room. “You’re talking about Kel and Carrie, aren’t you?” Damion and Sterling exchanged a look and she said, “That’s a ‘yes’. How long have they been out of contact?”
     
    “They’re fine,” Damion said. “They’re traveling through an area with limited cell coverage. We know that. We just like to be cautious.”
     
    “Are you going to check on them?” she asked Damion.
     
    “Yes. I’ll go now.” He walked towards her and paused. “He’ll be fine. He is fine.”
     
    “Please be right.” She’d lost him once. She couldn’t lose him again.  
     
    “I am,” he said and headed towards the door she now knew was a tunnel to a warehouse they used to wind walk out of sight.  
     
    “I’ll come and get you when I know something,” Sterling offered. “Or I can send Becca down to keep you company?”
     
    She shook her head. “No, thanks. I’m fine.” But she wasn’t. She headed back down the hallway when something about the words triggered a sudden flash of images in her mind. Kel and several other Renegades being attacked on the highway. The images blurred together but she saw Kel grab Carrie and throw her on the ground, just in time to take a blast of bullets. She gasped and started running for the door.  
     
    She was down the ramp and screaming after Damion, a vague memory of dream in her mind, of Kel needing her.“He’s down,” she yelled. “He’s hurt. They’re all hurt.”
     
    Damion turned and met her halfway. “How do you know?”
     
    “I saw it. I can see things I can’t explain. Not now. I’m going with you. I can read the landmarks from my vision.“
     
    Damion held up his hands. “Oh no. That’s not happening. You can’t wind walk unless you’ve lifebonded.”
     
    “I have,” she said, wondering why Kel hadn’t told her that but not caring. Not right now. ”We did. You can check my neck.”
     
      “Sonia, then you can relax,” he said. “Once you do the blood bond, and convert to GTECH, if he dies, you die. If he’s mortally hurt it would bring you to your knees. Let him focus on keeping you both alive. Let me go so I can come back and tell you he’s safe. And he’s darn sure going to want to be the first one to take you on a wind walk.”  
     
    “Blood bond?” she asked, feeling sick. Kel hadn’t completed the lifebond process with her. He had been going to wipe her memory. She drew in a breath and forced it out. It didn’t matter. He was dying. She knew it and she had to save
