Chapter Ten

“I lost him in the crowd,” I told Trillium as I stood before her in the green room which had been turned into a makeshift med-bay slash room where all the people now were. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, Havak,” Trillium said as a gaggle of folks swarmed around her.

After I’d come back inside there had been a whirlwind of chaotic activity as Trillium was rushed to safety as if she were the POTUS. Once four different doctors, and two seperate security chiefs, cleared her, I’d been allowed back into her presence. She’d regained her composure and was back to being the calm and collected Trillium Vou I’d known. “If you hadn’t been there, I don’t know what would have happened.”

“Is that you saying thank you?” I smirked.

“Yes,” she sighed.

“You’re welcome,” I shrugged. “Don’t get used to me saving your bacon, Trill. I still don’t like you.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it, Havak,” she grinned like a shark at me. “And the feeling is quite mutual.”

“Well,” I started to say as I turned to leave, “since no one in here is going to ask how I am or if I need any medical attention, I’m going to go.”

“That would probably be best,” Trillium intoned and then turned her attention back to her security chiefs. “Gentlemen, we need to talk.”

I didn’t stick around to see her lay into them, but based on their expressions they knew they were in big trouble.

After an awkward hover-cab ride, I walked through the doors of the gym which was, as I had hoped, empty.

I’d thought about going home, but didn’t want to have to explain my bloody and bruised countenance to any of my alliance mates. Or Woodhouse for that matter.

It was odd being in the gym without the normal hustle and bustle of a training session, almost like the room was asleep. I went into the locker room and took a quick shower to clean the dirt, grime, and blood off my face and then changed into a pair of my normal coveralls and combat boots. Then I went into the med-bay and rummaged around for something that would help the swelling in my face. The regen mod would take care of it by the morning but at the moment I had bruises forming at the bottom of my eyes, and the bridge of my nose looked like someone had stuffed a tiny balloon in it.

I found some pills labeled “anti-inflammatory” and took a few with a couple of swigs of Blue Betty. It was a wonderful Gatorade like cocktail of amino acids, electrolytes and mild painkillers. I wanted to keep straight but just take the edge off the pain a bit so I didn’t go for a whole bottle.

I was just about to try to contact Grizz when the big oaf appeared right in front of me and scared the hell out of me.

“Gah!” I yelped.

“Here you are, Havak!” He said exasperatedly. “I have been looking everywhere for you.”

“Well, I’m here,” I said as I regained my composure.
