Her eyes widened in disbelief and the then flashed in hatred. She turned and tapped calmly on the door , and Dofan had no time to lose. He went to a corner of the cellar and listened to make sure no one was coming. With his right hand he felt for the tiny button under his right jaw, and pushed it and held it.
He said softly the He, «Jehn Dofan Base calling, Jehn Dofan calling ...»

He looked at his brother and smiled.
He looked up to the sky. He could not see it, for it was light years away, buy he knew it was there. A lovely island on another planet, bathed in ward breezes, the place where his people were.
