But even if Krysty had known beyond doubt her bullet would split that dark-haired skull, she wouldn't have taken the shot. Yes, the captain had to die. She had to kill him, or at least be the cause of his death even if her finger didn't pull the trigger or her hand plunge the blade. But he was just one among many. A significant one, but merely one. To claim his life would risk throwing her life away-with her friends still unrescued and the bulk of her blood debt unpaid. - Krysty wouldn't do that. So she watched them drive off out of sight, unmolested. Intuition told her they were heading back to the massacre site, to the rim above Ryan's unmarked resting place a mile toward the center of the earth. Why they might be bound there she couldn't say. It didn't matter, and speculation was no part of her nature in any event. She let all thought of whys and wherefores slip from her mind. There could be only her quest. Worry, fear, anticipation, these could only weaken the resolve Krysty needed to keep her weary legs driving her relentlessly on.
