WE GOT ON the tram with much rejoicing.
While we had been in the hospital, Evi and Telaris had been called to Reida’s aid. He had run into trouble at the previous station. Apparently the Tamerians, too, knew where Federza was and didn’t want us to know it.
The mess from that struggle was still evident when our tram passed. There were a lot of guards on the platform, the tram drivers’ station had its door smashed in and there appeared to be a body on the platform, but it was hard to see because of all the spectators.
Reida, Evi and Telaris sank to the floor of the tram and relied on us to report on what was going on. Fortunately, no one checked the tram as it stopped at the station—Sheydu would have had something to say about that—and we continued on.
A few passengers had gotten on
