Give Me Sleep or Give Me Death

Her first day as Pepper Xrir sucked.

After being whisked away from her apartment and warm bed the night before, she was dumped at the lab.

Allie rolled her neck and frowned at herself. Well, she wasn’t exactly dumped, but it felt like everyone disappeared almost immediately and she was left with a lumpy pillow, a thin blanket, and a hard cot for company. It was laughable that they expected her to sleep, but she tried. Unsuccessfully.

As the hours ticked by, she had found herself wanting to stab whoever was snoring in the corner. The thought of anyone else sleeping while she wasn’t able to made her irritable.

When everyone had filed in the next morning as chipper as squirrels, it made her almost homicidal. Only psychopaths were happy in the mornings. Nonetheless, she’d forced herself from the horrible torture device that was supposed to pass as a bed and had shuffled like a zombie across the room to pour herself a cup of tea.

The day progressed and so did her exhaustion. But the worst was how the team kept looking at her when they didn’t think she was paying attention. Allie blew a piece of her hair from her face and glared at Kale who was blatantly staring at her.

“Seriously? Don’t you have something better to do than watch me?”

Kale grinned, his eyes sparkling. “It is my job to watch you.”

“Creepy,” she muttered, turning her back to the Kanji. She didn’t have enough energy to deal with his shenanigans.

When would this day end?

Her gaze slid to the cot and then to the sparring pad. The floor had to be more comfortable than the cot.

“Allie?”

She blinked slowly in Lev’s direction, pulled from the haze of her thoughts. “Yeah?” Please have good news.

“We’re going to move you to a more secure location now. Are you ready?”

She chuckled and pointed a finger at the abandoned cot. “If it means I don’t have to sleep here again, I’ll go anywhere you’d like me to.” She glanced behind him, looking for Blade. He hadn’t shown his face all day. He’d been suspiciously absent.

“You look like you just sucked on a lemon.”

“How do you know what a lemon is?” she grouched, following him into the hover bay.

“I’m not completely ignorant of Human culture.”

She snorted as he held the black door of the hover open for her and hopped in. A sigh escaped her as she sat into the comfy seats. Heavens, she should’ve snuck in here earlier and slept.

Kale materialized at the hover and hopped in. The door slid silently shut behind him as the two males settled in their seats across from her.

“So where are we going?” she asked.

“To a safe house.”

Allie rolled her eyes at Lev’s vague answer. The Av was incapable of giving a straight answer. “How did Karma do today?”

“She did great. None of your regulars suspected a thing. She passed with flying colors.”

“Has anyone contacted her?” she asked, her throat going dry. All she could see was her friend’s wife lying in a pool of blood.
