Chapter 7

- The Nazgûl

Alex found Jennifer practicing with her pistol in her quarters.

“Looks like you’re getting better.” Alex said.

“Yeah? It’s pretty much the only thing I do in my free time. So, what do you need?”

“I need you to listen. No arguing. You know you can’t change my mind. Can you do that?”

“Sure.”

“I know how to take out the enemy base. We won’t win a straight on charge. I can do it. I just need plenty of c4s. The only thing is that I need to seal the exits from the control center so no one can escape.”

“So that means you too. I understand. I’m gonna miss you.”

They hugged. Alex put something into Jennifer’s hand. After Alex left, Jennifer looked. It was the cross necklace. Jennifer knew that Alex was not scared. She was proud of her sister. Spark found Jennifer later.

“Did Alex tell you?”

“Yeah.”

“She left a note in my quarters saying she has already left. She said hold of Joe’s attack. She also said to make it to earth when we can.”

“Well, let’s go see Joe.”

They knew that telling him not to attack could mean danger, but all they had to do was postpone it for half an hour.

As Alex approached the base, she set her c4s to a thirty minute timer. The end of the war was near.
