Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Klingon

"Do what? And how did you keep tabs on Mark?" She tried to look oblivious and to push fear to the forefront of her mind while she chanted in Klingon.

It worked with Mark, though she'd never had to chant in Klingon to keep him out of her mind.

"We were pleased when he settled on owning a woman at last. At first, we thought he did not value you, but he guards you at the alliance stronghold."

The world tilted around her and she forgot to chant in Klingon. "You know about the alliance? How?"

"We have someone inside."

Who would be willing to work for these horrific things? She had to believe that they'd seized his mind. "Did you take control of his mind?" She had to find out who it was and let Mark know.

"He accepted money. Our minds are busy with bringing the master back."

She didn't like the sound of that at all. "If you are so busy with bringing your master back, why bother with me?"
