~ ZEV ~
If there hadn't been such a sense of dread hanging over their heads it might have been a very pleasant morning. Yhet was quiet, so Zev and Sasha discussed their plans through the mind link.
Lhars took about four hours last time, Sasha said. But I hope he'll be quicker this time. And besides, we don't want to wait too long, in case the humans do try to follow—in case they can do things we don't know about and locate us or something. I say we get everyone through and wait about three hours. That should be enough time for them to get the females out, but not so long that some huge force of humans could be in place.
Zev winced internally. She highly underestimated the capabilities of the Team when they were on alert. But in truth, that meant there was no time they could step in without being at risk if the humans knew something about the Gateway that they didn't. So he shrugged.
