Nik swallowed nervously, glad that the sounds of hesitant shuffling somewhere behind Donn and Torben’s threatening growl covered up the sound. There were benefits to his brother thinking he was an incompetent, lazy, coward, even if that was no longer the public face he wanted to show. “This isn’t your home anymore, Donn…” “Not my…” “You’re not welcome…” “I want to see my wife! I want to see…” “Oasis is not here,” began Jia. “She doesn’t want to…” “Shut up! I did not ask you!” “No one wants you here, Donn,” Nik began again, his voice apologetically stern. “There’s no asylum here. I know what you’ve done…” He gestured to those with him. “We all do…” “It wasn’t like that! Whatever he said,” he thrust a finger in Ortega’s direction, “he’s lying to you! Open the gate, Niki and we can…” Nik shook his head. “I’m sorry, Donn…I won’t…” “Open the fucking gate!”
