Chapter 12

When the assassin came to, I was sitting in a chair in front of her. "That was quite the show you put on back there."

Evette Wallings replied, "I wasn’t expecting that dog to react like that after I had been on that ship for two days."

The security commander for the station, sitting just behind me, said, "Why did you kill Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Orongo? They have harmed no one."

Evette looked up with an angry glare in her eye. "You people are all pawns of the families. Those doctors were working on a biological weapon to use against the Free Alliance. It will kill millions of innocents if it gets released. How can you be supportive of those monsters!"

I spoke. "Commander, please collect all video and audio from your recorders. I would like everything you have for the past twenty-four hours. Someone on this station was helping Miss Wallings, which is why the door to the bay remained open when the alarm was going off. Miss Salton and I will be taking the prisoner back to SS5 with us for interrogation."

The commander protested, "She just killed two of our people! She isn’t going anywhere until she answers some questions!"

I turned to the commander. "Commander, I am sure that you have a full understanding that as agents of SS5, we have the full authority to take her with us. I understand your desire to get the truth out of her, but that is better left to those on SS5 who are trained for this type of thing. Now, Miss Salton and I will be expecting that data by the time we reach our ship. If you value your position as security commander, I am sure you can make that happen."

Evette Wallings scowled at Joni. "Salton, what a foul name for someone to have. Somewhere in your past you are probably related to those murderous thugs."

Joni smirked. "I am. Harden Salton is my uncle."

The assassin’s eyes grew wide and then squinted again in anger. She tried to spit across the room, falling well short of Joni.

I took the prisoner by the arm and pulled her to her feet. "Time to go, Miss Wallings. I’m sure you have a lot to tell to our fellows on SS5."

I turned and looked at the commander, who was still seated in his chair. "Commander, I believe you have some data to retrieve for us?"

I glanced over at Joni with a smile. "Miss Salton may want to look that data over as we travel. Oh, and you and your other two officers here—it would be best for the three of you if there was absolutely no mention of a Salton being here. They are extremely touchy about such things, and you would be wise to prepare your reports so that the Salton name is not used. You may use ‘Mr. Beutcher and his trainee,’ if you like.

"Oh, and there should also be no idle chatter that makes use of the name. I will have an investigator, one who is unknown to you, come out to check for rumors about a Salton being here.
