Crime

“Stop.”

Rodney doesn’t move from the console. “Shut up and let me work! We’ve got…” he glances at his watch. “…shit, less than thirteen minutes until the system catches on to me.” 

Radek walks to the edge of his cell. “What are you doing, Rodney?”

“Getting you out!” Rodney’s eyes squeeze shut. “It wasn’t you, okay?” 

“Please stop,” The words are low and sibilant. He’s standing right above Rodney, on the other side of the invisible barrier.

 “You’d rather die?” Rodney snaps, pulling out the last crystal. 

“I’ll still die,” Radek says. “Just not alone.”

The force field flickers out.
