Abby finished her shower and put on a robe. She was glad the tactical suit had been left behind in medical when she’d been examined. She didn’t want it stinking up her cabin. The doctors had cleared her, gave her scrubs to wear to her cabin, and the first thing she’d done was get clean.

She was halfway to a food dispenser when someone rang the hall chime. The monitor next to the door showed Howard standing in the corridor. She pushed the button to open it, and he started to step inside. Then he hesitated when he saw her.

“I’ll come back.”

“No. It’s okay. I’m decent.” She turned, walking to the food dispenser and ordering tea and a few breakfast pastries. “I hope you don’t mind me eating while we talk.”

“Of course not. I think I lost five years of my life when that shuttle landed and I was informed you were still on the planet.”

She took a sip of tea. “I’m sorry. It wasn’t fun for me, either. I can’t tell you how happy I was when Drak and Gnaw came sliding down after me.”

“I heard that you got an all-clear from Doctor Azzelle.”

“I did. What’s going to happen to Milts and Peters?”

“Team One is restricted to their cabins. I pulled Rogers into my office. He denies the charges against his men, of course. He swears they’d never do something like that.”

“I’m not surprised.”

“He’s adamant that you’re lying about what happened to get him and his men into trouble.”

She snorted, taking a bite of pastry. It tasted delicious. She swallowed and waved him to the small table and chairs. They sat. “Let me guess. It’s because I’m so attracted to the asshole, and this is payback for him turning me down flat. He thought you’d send me away, since I embarrassed you so badly. You can’t have your lover hitting on your men.”

Anger bracketed Howard’s mouth. “That was exactly the shit he was spouting, saying his entire team wanted to file complaints against you. I’m almost embarrassed by his weak story. I thought fleet trained our people to be a lot smarter.”

“Right?” She finished her food and sipped her tea.

“The problem is that it’s your word against theirs. There’s no proof, and Tellis is unable to verify your version of the facts. The drone was able to clip a rope to his suit, and the medics hauled his body up. They verified he committed suicide, but he had to have been in a lot of pain. He had a dislocated shoulder and six fractured bones. I have no evidence to arrest Darren Milts or Morgan Peters for putting you in that hole. They’re sticking to their story, that you staggered into it. None of the suits were outfitted with cameras.”

Abby was furious but none of it came as a surprise. “I figured it wouldn’t be that easy to nail them.”

“I refuse to have them under my command anymore. Not only is the entire Team One confined to their cabins, but I’m transferring their asses ASAP.
