Chapter Two

DRYCE STARED AT HIS comm waiting for Peyton to reply to his message. It felt almost intrusive to know her name, but the info had been right there in her contacts. She’d thanked him, so he knew she’d retrieved her comm from the bar, but after he replied to her, she hadn’t said anything. And as the minutes ticked by he feared that she wouldn’t reply again. He wanted to prompt her, but he knew enough about flirtation to know that no person liked to be hounded for a response.

He shoved the comm back in his pocket as Sandon opened the door to the small conference room they were meeting in and took a seat. “I’ve sent a list of interviews you’ve been scheduled for to your communicator. They will be happening over today and tomorrow. We’re getting reports of amateur detection of the fleet at the edge of the solar system and our joint leadership team does not want to incite panic. Do you understand?”

Dryce understood that he was stuck in a job he had no skill for just because he had a pretty face and an easy smile. He was a warrior, not a puppet, but for some reason both the SDA and Detyen leadership had decided he was the perfect person to liaise with the media about the Detyen presence on Earth.

“Sir, is this—”

“I wouldn’t assign it to you if it wasn’t necessary, would I?” Sandon didn’t let him get the question out. It was times like this that Dryce remembered Sandon wasn’t that much older than him. He wasn’t yet thirty, though the day was drawing close. Soon the commander would need to make a decision, whether he would die or sacrifice all of his emotions to buy a few more years in service of his people. The stress of the past months was wearing on the man, and from the pinched look on his face, he seemed to be living with a constant headache. Dryce could add to the man’s problems by rebelling at his assignment, or he could do his duty to his people, no matter how unpleasant it seemed.

“I’ll keep news of the fleet out of the interviews,” Dryce promised. “But do we have any updates on that?”

Sandon shook his head. “They’re holding steady on this side of the Kuiper belt.” Dryce had learned that the Kuiper belt delineated the outer edge of the main Sol system. The system continued on for a long distance past that, but it was mostly uninhabitable rocks and radiation. “No matter who questions Brakley Varrow, he won’t give up any information. The Oscavian we captured with him is just as reluctant to divulge their secrets.”

That was beyond frustrating. Brakley Varrow was an Oscavian scientist who had held Dryce’s fellow warrior Dru as a captive for months aboard an Oscavian scientific vessel. He’d also experimented on a human woman named Laurel who had turned out to be Dru’s denya. The pair had managed to escape Varrow, but in doing so had led him and his allies to the Detyen headquarters.
