“Just act like nothing has happened?”
“Exactly. The less people are aware of this incident, the better. If there is a rogue element operating here in Darkon, they might show themselves again if they think they are undiscovered.”
“Oh.”
“Don’t look so downcast Kalena. It’s not like the Freeborns were going to give you a parade or anything.”
“Thanks Gwidion.”
“Don’t mention it,” Gwidion grinned.
“Just remember that the Provost Marshall is trying to keep this as contained as possible, but no matter how careful you are, information may still leak out to the wrong people. So be careful and if you feel the urge to do anything to go anywhere, just discuss it with Adhamh first.”
Kalena frowned but gave Harada a nod. “Yes Commander.”
“We will leave you now. When the doctor discharges you after your checkup later this morning, come straight to training with Adhamh.”
“Yes Commander.”
Once the two men had left, Kalena lay back in her bed idly stirring her spoon in her porridge, mulling over yesterday’s events and wondering what her future would bring.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
In a former life, H M Clarke has been a Console Operator, an ICT Project Manager, Public Servant, Paper Shuffler and an Accountant (the last being the most exciting.)
