Chapter Three

Days lingered on like never before and work became tedious. Rena could think of little more than ending her day and getting home and into the bed of her virile husband.

Husband. The idea still seemed strange. As did the knowledge that she had a man waiting for her at home. Well, he’d be home later, after work.

Looking into the microscope for the fifth time, she studied the new specimen for a moment and then leaned over to record her findings. By the time she lifted her pen, she’d forgotten what she was going to write.

“I see you’re not cursing your luck anymore,” Darcy laughed halfheartedly, walking into the lab. “I swear the entire city is having sex but me.”

Rena blushed. She couldn’t help it.

“Don’t tell me,” Darcy continued, sidling up to her. She peeked into the microscope and whispered, “He’s hung like a stallion and fucks like a Greek god.”

Rena’s blush deepened.

“I really hate you right now,” Darcy said.

Rena frowned, suddenly concerned. “Is something wrong? Is Dr. Von Sibenthal that bad?”

“Never mind,” Darcy said. “It doesn’t matter.”

“If your husband is mean to you, I can get Micco to change your marital assignment. Last I heard there were twenty-six couples officially applying for reassignment. Oh, and one who claims they’re not married because of religious beliefs.”

“Yeah, that last one would be my darling husband,” Darcy answered. “Apparently, my hair color is a bad omen and I make funny noises when I sleep. Between us, I think he’s just gone a little crazy on this base. He sleeps in the bathroom, and I’m pretty sure he has some kind of strange romance going with the shower stall.”

“Oh, Darcy, I’m sure—”

A loud blaring sounded, jolting them from their conversation. Rena jerked, accidently knocking her hand into the microscope. The specimen tray slid onto the floor, but the equipment remained bolted down. Rena gasped, rubbing her sore hand as she looked around her laboratory. The room pitched to the side at a sharp angle. The sound of breaking glass and falling implements rang out seconds before people began to scream. The overhead lights flashed red. Rena slid into Darcy, unable to get a good foothold on the smooth metal floor. They slammed into the wall.

“We’re sinking,” Darcy said, gasping for breath. Tears came to her eyes. “This is it.”

“Stay here and lock down the lab. I have to get to the pit. It’s my turn on safety rotation.” Rena rolled against the wall toward the door. She held onto the doorframe as she slid into the hall. “Something’s wrong. If we stay on our side, we’ll lose pressure. I need to get to the pit.”

Pressing her hands along the wall, she braced herself as she walked. She tried to listen past the frantic beat of her heart, tried not to let fearful thoughts race through her head. Looking behind her, she hoped Micco was all right. She wanted more than anything to check on him.

Micco. Strange how in such a short time things seemed to matter so much more.
