Roxy's POV
Krune wiped blood off his suit and faced us with that begrudged look. Almost indifferent, too.
"I thought you guys were stronger than this. Was the Shifter that invisible to your special visions?" Krune pressed on my wound. I didn't like it. Before I could snap his neck, Cyrus stood between us, almost glided in smoothly to save Krune from me.
"So you're posted up with us here. And you lost five crew members."
"Four." Krune tried to correct. But Cyrus pointed to the one that just lost his breath in the bushes, "He just bled out."
"So look, Krune, Roxy and I will be pairing up with you since you're so adept at finding Shifters in this mutated forest. We eliminate threats and take the crew back. Is that a deal?" Cyrus said. Krune's eyebrow lifted. I knew what he was thinking, even without reading his mind.
"To get blasted to bits by Captain Janet herself? You guys gonna steal my thunder and kick me to the curb!?" Krune yelled. Ah. The corporate ladder drama.
