An hour later, they were back at Hutu’s residence. Josh quietly watched Cassa nod and sniff at something Pack said. Both of their faces were twisted in grief. He returned his attention back to packing the items Hutu was handing to him.
“As soon as I found out what happened, I made sure that Pack was informed. He was still on the planet, awaiting departure,” Hutu murmured. “Knowing Jemar, the boy has been better trained than most of the new recruits. I hope so, anyway. He will need all of those skills if things turn bad.”
“Where are we heading?” Josh asked, closing the bag he was packing.
“To find your friends,” Hutu said, glancing over his shoulder at where Cassa and Pack were gathering additional supplies. “It is going to be extremely dangerous,” he added with a grim smile.
