Chapter Six

After what felt like a lifetime, the courtroom door slid open, and Major Dete walked out with his arm supporting a bloodied and bruised Fisher. “Let’s get out of here,” he said sharply.

“Follow me,” Crystal said and took off for Henri and Stepho’s pod without questioning the Major on how he’d managed the miracle of getting Fisher free. Her field training dictated finding safety first. Then, there would be time for a sitch update.

She quickly led the way to the biological sciences area of the sector. When they reached Henri and Stepho’s pod door, she hesitated for a moment, wishing she could talk to them before barging in with this huge request. She knocked, but neither man responded.

Checking the chronometer on her portable datapad, she saw it was late afternoon. They were still at work in the lab.

After a quick look over her shoulder at Fisher’s bloody face and slumped posture, she tapped in the access code to unlock the door. With a soft swish, it slid open, and Crystal stepped across the threshold.

“Put him in on the berth, Major,” she said a moment before she realized she’d just ordered around a Major.

His quirked brow showed he’d noticed the same thing, but he refrained from rebuking her. Instead, he helped Fisher to the mattress. “Bella and I need to go. We want this trail to grow cold. Keep your contact with us to a minimum.”

“Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir, for your help.”

“Take care of him, Corporal. Be smart about who you trust,” the Major warned.

“Yes, Sir.”

Bella gave Crystal a brief and unexpected hug. “I wish I could do more.”

“You’ve done more than I could have hoped for.” Crystal squeezed Bella in return, emotion thickening her words.

The Major left with Bella, leaving Crystal alone with Fisher in Henri and Stepho’s pod. She turned to him, surprised he hadn’t said anything yet, and found him staring at the mementos on the wall shelves across the room. He seemed particularly interested in the photo frame with the slide show of her with Henri and Stepho, pictures taken during their time together in Fourth Quadrant. Those days seemed so long ago.

She moved toward the bathing room to gather supplies to clean Fisher’s wounds. The sight of him battered touched her deeply, surprising her into realizing that he actually meant something more to her than merely a pain in her ass, chauvinistic, bad boy who rocked her sexual world. He was still all those things, but she also liked him.

Shiitake, she liked him.

He’d risked his life to save Bella without a second thought. His own sense of right and wrong had prevented him from standing back and allowing an injustice from happening without stepping in and getting involved.

After wetting a cloth under the sink, she grabbed the first aid kit. She was in an impossible situation. She couldn’t possibly keep all three men as intimate partners. Fisher couldn’t blend in to what she already had with Henri and Stepho. They would never get along. It would be a disaster.
