Chapter 18

A blonde beauty with shoulder-length hair exclaimed, “This is set high enough to stun a Pereon braga-beast!”

She stood about Boone’s height and was wearing the distinctive dark-blue two-piece investigator’s uniform. Her name, Sa’vo, was etched on the upper left side of her jacket.

Boone was mesmerized by her fit figure, her good looks, and also by her assertiveness - her arm was outstretched, pistol pointed at his chest, and there was a slight smirk on her face.

“Who are you?” Boone asked. “What do you think you’re doing? Put that pistol down!” he ordered as he slowly approached to carefully close the gap between them.

“Uh, ah!” she replied waving her index finger back and forth. Boone stopped in his tracks.

She took a step back and declared, “One more step and I will be dragging you to where we’re going!” Then she softly chuckled, “I know you, Boone Nova, and I’m not taking any chances. In fact, it would be safer for me to knock you out cold, right now, than to give you an opportunity to escape. I shouldn’t even be talking to you right now but I’m giving you a chance to come peaceably.”

Boone could not resist staring at her bright blue eyes as they sparkled and danced about the cargo bay as if she were assessing her environment. She had a pleasant and genteel manner about her but it was also easy to see she was about to do what she said she would do. Boone could tell she meant business.

“Wait!” Boone yelled. He raised both of his arms and held up his hands. “You can’t shoot me. I’m…”

She laughed but kept the pistol and her full attention on him. “I can’t? Well, this is what I can do,” she countered while stiffening her body and arm. He could sense she was about to pull the trigger.

“Stop!” he shouted. “Look, lady! I’m not lying to you. If you shoot me you might kill me!”

“Kill you? Oh, I doubt that, Boone Nova! After everything I’ve read about you… you’ve…you’ve done pretty well for yourself. Getting out of trouble and…”

“Please, lady. I promise I’m not lying. I can prove it. Let me prove it!” he exclaimed.

She retracted the pistol by bending her elbow and gently resting it on her shoulder. Curious about his plea she shifted her weight and thought about it.

“OK. You have ten seconds. And my name is Lieutenant Sa’vo. Lieutenant Phia Sa’vo. So, stop calling me ‘lady.’”

He raised his arms in the air and began to take off his jacket, slowly.

“Stop!” she ordered. “What are you doing? Don’t move a muscle! I don’t trust you, Boone… seven seconds.”

Boone continued, in spite of her command. He slowly let his jacket fall to the floor. Then he very slowly began to pull off his T-shirt. She protested again.

“What did I just say?”

She stretched out her arm and pointed the pistol at him. But, Boone quickly pulled the T-shirt off and turned around, letting her see his back. Her mouth dropped in wonder.
