Derek wrapped a towel around his waist and said, “You sure you don’t want to stay in?”

Sable laughed and left the bathroom. “Sorry, lover. I’ve got a mission to see to. And now I’m late.”

“Alright, alright,” he grumbled. “I need to feed anyway, and then I’ll go back to the Starwing and look around. I have my suspicions about how those Federation ships found us.” He tossed the towel in the corner and started to dress.

“You think they tracked us?” She turned to look at him.

“They must have. And for them to come after you like that…well, it was obviously a warning.” He brushed the hair from his forehead. “You must be getting closer to the truth then they’re comfortable with. If I can find a tracking device on the ship, maybe we can trace it.”

“I don’t just leave my ship open for tampering, you know.”

“Never? Not once? How about when you caught Castle? You were locked up in your ship before I could catch you and I’m pretty damn fast.”

“No, it was locked. I just had it programmed to open at my bio-signature, just in case my weapons drew attention from Concourse security.”

“Then it must have been installed at headquarters.”

Her eyes narrowed in thought. “If that’s true, it would exonerate Leroy since he was already here on Rashier 6 at that time. Or,” she said excitedly, “he could be working with someone else!”

She looked at Derek to see what he thought of her suspicion and found him watching her with rapt attention.

“You really like your job, don’t you, baby?” he queried softly.

Sable chewed her bottom lip for a moment before answering. “I don’t like finding out that someone we all trust, someone we believe is working toward the good of the Council, is actually harming us. I hate that part of my job. But when I solve a case, when I know that someone who violated the oath I believe so strongly in has been removed from the force, I love it.”

Derek kissed her, long and deep, then swatted her on the butt. “Get dressed. And call for me if you need any help.”

He headed toward the door. He seemed so happy and relieved that she’d told him the truth about herself, she wished she’d trusted him sooner. She shuddered to think of how different the outcome would have been had he not been persistent and stowed away on her ship. She might have lost him.

“I don’t know how to use my calling yet,” she called after him.

“You’re stronger than you realize. Just think about me and I’ll hear you. I promise.” With a rakish wink, Derek left.
