Tess stood and brushed the invisible dust off herself as well as the words Szedra just told her. Of course, Lanse wasn't exaggerating when he told them he used a trooper's back as a stepping stone. Who else would do something so audacious?
She looked up to see the blue glow fading from the edge of the sword he used to cut through the Sybervirian's head. With the brain dead, so was the virus. The brain was to it what a beating heart was to a human.
Flashes of Jeremy's decapitated head and the one that got crushed into a wall forced her to make a painful blink. Her heart beating inside her head was louder than her inner voice.
Lanse was going to kill every Syb-victim once he gained the power to do it...Tsk.
