Chapter 176

IZZY POV

The plane touched down and I unbuckled my belt with a sigh.  Troi uncurled herself from the floor around my ankles and stretched.  I looked over and saw that Kat was curled up on the couch in the back of the plane and Griz was sitting bolt upright in the chair beside me.  He looked worried.

“What’s up big guy?” I asked.  We hadn’t really had the opportunity to talk since leaving the compound.  I had thought it would be a fight to get Griz to come home with me.  To my surprise, he agreed without so much as a complaint.  He usually refused to leave when there were still loose ends, one time explaining to me that he slept better when he knew what the outcomes were.  I got it.  I sometimes had nightmares that Cornelius was still alive, and I think it would have helped if I could have seen his death.

“Do you think you could not tell Destiny what happened to me at the compound?”
