Erras looked from Danivere to where the soldiers had galloped off too. âYes, well... whatever the reason for their haste, trampling wayfarers is applauding behaviour.â
âItâs ok, weâre fine. Just a few-â Genii was interrupted by whatever Jet and the others were doing up ahead.
Bellah moved aside. Although Jet never discussed his plan she had an idea what he was up to (because he was annoyingly audacious). She didnât think opening the cart was a wise idea, but she didnât do anything to stop him either.
Crammed inside the cart were a few shackled, scruffy looking humans wearing rags. They varied in age from teens to a little old man, and all looked startled and confused seeing Jet and Bellah peering at them.
As Jet cracked the door of his cart in two the Shumba yelped and scurried in front of the opening with his arms held out protectively. âWhat are you doing!? I thought you were helping me!â He yelled, his voice cracking into an angry purr at the end.
