SHAKAZHAN BOOK 2 LONE WOLF SERIES
“Can we be of assistance, Captain Slatterly?”
“Captain Drexel, I’m unsure how until I know the situation on planet. Riley’s a sneaky bastard. He allowed himself to be taken into custody. I can’t conceive of a man like him doing that without a reason, can you?”
“No, sir, I can’t. Everything I know about Riley says he’ll run when he has to and fight when he’s cornered. Not a man to give up easily.”
“It’ll be dawn soon on planet. It’s darker than three shades of hell down there. They were going to come back once they had enough light to navigate.”
Drexel nodded. “If you need anything, call me.”
“Will do, Captain Drexel. Thank you.”
“Hannibal out.”
The Warrant Officer disconnected at just the right moment. Drexel let out a deep exhalation.
“Damn! That was about as close as I’ve had to come lately to blowing someone to smithereens!” Shaking his head and laughing, he muttered to himself. “Wil’s here. I’ll be damned.”
