Chapter 3

“Next.” The Leadership agent called out summoning the next person in line. This time it was my turn.

I slapped the locket down on the counter and fought back the tears building heavily behind my eyes.

“My friend has been taken. I need to know where he is.”

“I am so sorry to hear that darling. Can you provide your friend’s name and address?”

“Xam. He lives at 767 Nexiun Street.” I chewed on my lip, impatiently waiting while she typed this information into the computer in front of her.

The agent scanned the screen in search of any information that might help me out. As she reached the bottom of the report her yellow eyes widened.

“Excuse me, miss. I will be right back.” She flashed me a nervous smile before disappearing through a door behind the counter.

I picked up Xam’s locket and closely examined it in my hand. It wasn’t hard to tell that it had endured a fire. The edges were charred and the clasp had melted forcing the locket to remain closed for the remainder of its days. A tear escaped my eye and ran down my cheek. Eerily, it landed directly on face of the locket. I scooped it up and placed it back into my pocket for safekeeping.

My attention returned to the closed door that the agent had disappeared into. I could see the knob turning and my heart raced. Maybe she had an answer for me as to where I could find Xam.

The look on her face told me otherwise.

Two brawny men followed in tow, their eyes stared straight at me.

“That’s the Earthling. Arrest her.”

“Me? What are you talking about?” I screeched.

“You were the motive of temptation for a Cyan. Such illegalities do not slip by The Leadership unnoticed. You are to be punished for your crime against Moality.”

“How is falling in love with someone a crime? Where I come from, interracial relationships are celebrated not criminalized!”

It was no use. The decision was made.

Each man grabbed one of my arms and started to pull me away from the counter.

“Tell me where he is!” I shouted trying to wiggle out of their grasps. “Let me go!”

No matter how violently I thrashed around, I wasn’t about to be set free.

The prison was dark and damp, much worse than anything I had ever seen on the television when I was a kid.

I was thrown into a holding cell with three native Moalites: a Cyan, a Magenta, and a Yellow. At first they didn’t say much rather they eyed me up as I crossed the cell toward my bunk. I laid down in hopes of sleeping away this nightmare only to find the mattress was composed of recycled card board. I sat back up and stared down at my feet dangling over the edge of the bunk.

“Hey rookie, what’s got you down?” Magenta whistled.

I ignored her.

“What? Are you too good for us?” Yellow balked.

“Leave her alone.” Cyan barked back. “Give her a minute to settle in.”

She made her way toward my bunk with an outstretched hand.
