"Must be a hunnerd of 'em—they're starting to land I think!"
"All of them?"
"I guess so—wait! Yeah, he's gonna land, too, I guess. I can't see 'em anymore. Gosh, we're sure moving."
"Creepers, a hundred and eighty! Hey Dad, where are we going, anyway?"
"To the headquarters hospital building. I think—I think that's where your mother is."
"Is she hurt?"
"I don't know, Mike, I don't know."
He pressed his heel to the floor-board. He was glad for Tayne's sword at his side. Even for the ones the boys carried.
