CHAPTER FOURTEEN
It had taken a bit of creative juggling, but Colin had found a way to rework their schedules so that he and Nikolai could spend time with Alayna, while still managing to keep the base running smoothly. It was common for newly bonded trios to have time off from work at the beginning of their new relationship, but the two of them were new to their duties, so that wasn’t entirely possible.
Still, they’d managed to stretch out their weekend by another two days, giving themselves a bit more time with Alayna before they had gone back to work. They would both work through the morning, and then each afternoon one of them would head home so that Alayna wouldn’t be left alone all day while she was adjusting to her new life.
Today was Colin’s turn to work a full day, and he was wading through a digital sea of documents, inventories, bills of lading, and other data looking for some hint as to where in the goddamned galaxy their inventory was disappearing to. There had been another theft reported this morning. This time it was immunity boosters that were slated for transport to a village in the badlands. They were worth a small fortune on the black market, but why the hell would Wraith steal something that was supposed to be going to the people he was supposed to be protecting? It didn’t make any sense. Fuck, none of it did.
There was no sign of anyone on the surveillance tapes, but the goods were gone. That was the pattern. Inventory came in, got unloaded, and then vanished. When a transport was hit by thieves or rebels, the loss was easy to track, but one of the first things he and Griz had done when they had taken over was to order a complete inventory review. The numbers were staggering. It didn’t seem possible that one thief could have stolen it all. The whole mess was giving him a headache.
Not that Griz was having a great day either. Today Alayna was addressing what she called their “pathetically inadequate” security set up. She had ordered an array of parts, and according to the last update Griz had sent via their wrist units, she was now happily reworking their entire security system. Judging by the pictures Nikolai had included, the process included gutting the old system, which was now sitting in piles of tangled old wires and dusty processors at various locations throughout their house. Both he and Griz had quietly agreed that she could tear the house apart if she wanted to. What mattered was that Alayna was thinking about their place as her home.
When his wrist unit beeped again, he expected another status update from Nikolai. What he got instead was a vision of his partner staring into the view screen, his eyes glittering with barely repressed fury. “You need to get back here. Now.”
“Middle of the work day, Griz. I can’t cut out of here for another hour or two unless it’s an emergency.
