Rave focused on Se, trying to block out Kain’s movements. “What planets are close by and safe enough to drop off Mel?”

Rave hoped his renewed faith in Kain would hold. If they stood a chance, he would have to forgive some of the past. He was beginning to see that Kain was just as much of a victim in this whole mess as he was. Se interrupted his inner musings.

“We have some friends on Cooper Prime. Rock might take her in.”

“He owes us a favour. See if he’ll meet us in orbit. I’ll go talk to Mel.”

Rock was a good man. Rave had met him shortly after his stay on DI. With Rock’s help, he’d purchased Retribution. Along the way, they’d become friends. Rock wanted more, but Rave hadn’t had anything to give, and by the time he had, Rock had meant too much to him to become a causal fuck.

Rave looked back at Kain. The man spoke quietly into the coms. Rave couldn’t make out what Kain said, but it didn’t matter. He had to trust the man.

He left the bridge and headed to his sister’s room.

“Mel, can I come in?”

“Sure thing.” Rave heard through the door as it slid open.

Mel looked comfortable sitting on the couch. The room looked the same as his only smaller. He really did love this ship.

“Sorry about the bumpy ride.”

“Tell me what this is about, and I’ll forgive you.”

He sat beside Mel on the couch. “I told you a little.”

“We have a time, I’m sure. Now, tell me the rest.”

“Okay, here goes. This whole thing is because of the Alliance. They faked my crime and sent me to that damn prison planet as a cover for a mission I knew nothing about. Jump to now and Kain is back as part of the ‘cover’. For some unknown reason, they thought it would be a bright idea for me to ‘kidnap’ Kain before picking up a weapon that can kill planets. It has something to do with the Royalists, And I really don’t care anymore. I want this over.”

She hugged him, and he let her. Her comfort wrapped around him.

“Do you still love him?”

Rave knew who she meant, but he didn’t know if he really wanted to answer. If he kept it to himself, it couldn’t hurt him, right? Still, he gave in.

“God, yes, Mel. I shouldn’t. Not after what happened, but I do. I’m so angry with him. Logically, I know he isn’t to blame. That the Alliance is behind it all.”

“He looks like shit. Maybe you should give him a break.”

Her spot-on observation caused him to laugh, an honest to goodness laugh. It felt good. His sister had a way of cutting to the chase, and she was right, he needed to give Kain a break. He broke the hug and stood up.

“Thanks for that, it felt nice to laugh. Now, on to serious business. Someone issued a warrant for the kidnapping. It wasn’t supposed to go down this way. Kain is trying to figure out what’s going on, and I need to get you off the ship.
