Byron sat at his desk looking over his notes. Of the ten missing persons in fifty years, only two had gone missing the first twenty of those years. The next thirty years had seen eight missing persons. And when he looked for people who had registered to leave Princeton and never arrived in their intended city, he found six more. That made sixteen total, fourteen in thirty years. He traced the six who hadn’t registered in their intended destination cities and found only one as having updated his record since he left Princeton. He’d gone to South America and registered there instead of his original destination. That left thirteen missing persons.

Byron sent the information to his three partners. Caleb volunteered to talk to the neighbors and coworkers of the men who had disappeared. Byron set to work looking at the records for missing sapiens. These were much more complicated, because many owners didn’t update anything about their livestock after they made the purchase. Most only entered purchase or birth dates, and sold or death dates. Some entered other important details on the ones they had listed for sale, such as number of live births and dates for these events, major illnesses and temperaments.

Byron sighed and rubbed his face. His own saps were nothing but a headache. He pulled up the record for the female. When he’d bought her, they’d warned him that she was temperamental and willful. He thought he’d done a good job with her, but a few weeks ago she’d become outright defiant. He shook his head remembering her nerve. Some saps needed to be taught a lesson from time to time to remind them of their place.

Byron touched the box labeled “other information” on his screen and entered, “responds to force.” Then he checked the male’s record. Under the information heading, he found that Shelton had no known offspring, not surprising since keeping track of a male’s offspring usually proved impossible. Shelton’s previous owner had labeled him adaptable, highly cooperative, well-trained and a good servant. So what was the problem?

It must be the female. Byron had seen her stubborn side. Maybe she refused to let the male impregnate her. In the week since he’d taken their clothes, he hadn’t heard a single sound from their room. Shouldn’t they make some sort of noise when they rutted?

Byron rose from his desk, impatient with his work that went nowhere and his saps that did nothing. He went into the hallway and down to the separate room at the end. When he unlocked the door and entered, he found his saps sleeping, covered by their ragged blanket. He switched on the light.

“Get up,” he said, and pulled the blanket from the bed. A horrid greasy stench wafted from their bodies on the mattress. Both saps blinked at him stupidly. “Go on, I said get up.”

The female sat up first, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them immediately. She gave him a sleepy, sullen look. The male propped himself up on his elbows and squinted at Byron.
