“How is it the one habitable moon looks like something out of the Wild West?” Cinnamon asked looking out the window as the shuttle descended into the moon’s capital, Notree. The town sat at the bottom of a wide rocky canyon.

The shuttle door opened and a blast of dust came in.

“So much for staying clean. How come the government couldn’t put their headquarters on the grazing side of the planet?” Cinnamon complained as she tried to dust herself off. Talon’s hand fell on her shoulder.

“I know you’re nervous, but try and be quiet,” Talon said in a stern voice.

Cinnamon nodded. She was having a hard time adjusting to the sides of Talon. She was sweet and tender when they were alone. In public, she was formal and rigid. She didn’t treat her poorly, far from it. Talon treated her like everyone else. Most times that was all right, but sometimes it would have been nice to be treated special in front of others.

She found being with Talon intoxicating. It was unlike the beginning of any relationship she’d had before. In the movies, girls’ heads spun over new lovers. She always thought it was an exaggeration. Now, she knew differently. She didn’t know how long it would last, but she wished it would go on forever.

They had a group of eight legionnaires with them, two ship pilots and a combat team of six. Major Baxter had left to meet with the locals, leaving the Angels with two guards. Cinnamon peered out into the light from the darkness of the shuttle.

The local Political Bureau officers looked older than those back on Glacier Station. A dozen armored soldiers surrounded the four legionnaires. Beyond them, towers with large guns stood menacingly. As a show of good faith, Baxter and his group carried only pistols. The leader of the soldiers said something, but she couldn’t hear it over the rush of the shuttle engines.

Major Baxter signaled to cut the shuttle’s engines and for everyone to disembark.

“Should we?” Cinnamon asked Talon.

“We don’t have a choice.” Talon pointed outside.

Looking back, Cinnamon could see the legionnaires in the dirt, being detained. She looked at Talon for direction, moving her hands toward her pistols. She might not be Sarin and be able to take down a dozen soldiers in a split second, but she could still hit a few.

Talon shook her head. Instead, she led Cinnamon outside. Ignoring the soldiers’ mistreatment of the legionnaires, the Angels stopped next to Baxter and a Political Bureau general.

“The order to drop your weapons applied to both of you,” the general growled in a nasty twang of an accent.

Talon motioned to Cinnamon. She drew the two cheap imitation pistols she carried and unloaded the magazines and dropped them in the dirt.

Talon looked at the general with her big glowing eyes. The man looked inward slightly mesmerized. Her sleeves separated and a hand appeared. “My weapons, General, are much harder to separate.” The talons in her hands flexed menacingly, causing the general to recoil. “We’re here to speak to General Starr.
