Good thing Ben stayed in the fleet.

David had four brothers, Ben being the middle one, therefore also being the loudest, most talkative, and probably the most personable of them all. Though Colin was in between them, David and Ben were always closer because Colin had no interest in the Armada, choosing to become a civilian engineer instead. Ben, on the other hand, may have been even more gung ho about the military than David, or maybe because of David, wanting to be just like his big brother. But instead of following in David’s footsteps, Ben joined a special operations unit which moved around within the fleet, never sticking to a steady rise in rank aboard a particular ship, like David had with the Protector.

That gave Ben, as a simple lieutenant, access to more classified channels than David ever had as a captain.

When Ben’s familiar grin and dark brows appeared on the airscreen, David was struck by how much he and Ben were starting to look more alike the older they got, even though many people didn’t think so. With only seven years separating them, David thought Ben still seemed much younger.

“I need some information on a guy named Dale Zapona,” David said.

“Oh, I see how it is. Use me and abuse me, but don’t call just to say hello.”

“Hello, Ben,” David said. “Can you do a background check on Dale Zapona?”

“Of course. And while I’m doing the search, maybe you can tell me how your run-in with that asshole Killian Doje went, or better yet, who you’ve been docking. Because word has it you were seen last night kissing a little blonde Socialite along the boardwalk on Carrey Bay.”

To prove his point, Ben replaced his image with a vid. It was of David and Mari’s kiss.

“Or was she just someone you met that night? How old is she? Her Embassy file said nineteen, but I can’t imagine you with a teenager, even one who looked like that.”

“She’s none of your business, Ben.” David’s tone was light, but held a subtle warning. “How do you even know about her? Or Killian?”

Ben’s image flicked back on screen.

“Your romantic interlude got picked up by a voyeur just like your reunion with Killian. I have an alert on all the family in case anyone’s in trouble.”

“Or because you’re a bigger gossip than half the Socialites in this system,” David said.

“Come on, I can see not wanting to talk about the asshole, but give me some info on the blonde. What’s her name?”

“Like you don’t already know,” David muttered.

“Boston. Sweet name. But you called her Mari when you said she was beautiful.” Ben could barely contain his glee. “Why is that?”

“Why do you bother to ask questions you know the answers to?”

“Just making conversation. You know, I haven’t seen you kiss anyone like that since Lyra, though you do seem to have a thing for blondes with tight asses. And in that little blue dress that Bos—that Mari was wearing, it was pretty easy to see her—”

“At least I have a personal life.
