How far did he go?
Tori took off in the general direction that Olmed went. She wasnât sure, though that he hadnât taken an alley one way or another, because the tunnels all had a curve to them. Seeing exactly where someone went was not easy because of the curves. People just seemed to disappear.
Aliens were all around her.
Honestly, it reminded her of a busy airport, except instead of windows that showed the planes coming in, it showed the stars, or in many cases, the port tunnels to access the ships latched onto them.
At another time, she might have enjoyed looking around in an observation area, if they had that here, but for now, she just wanted to find Olmed.
Increasing her pace, Tori scanned in all directions. After all, he was taller than many of the other colorful aliens all around her, so surely sheâd be able to spot a tall red alien with horns.
Especially since he was looking for others of his people, so all of them together would be a sight to see. As she hurried along, she felt her backpack buzz.
âWhat in the world?â She swung the pack around.
Sure enough, her phone was buzzing.
âI get reception?â she muttered and pulled it out of the bag. âYeah?â
âHey. It works!â Polly said.
âI guess so,â Tori said. âWhatâs up?â
âI was just checking to see if it would. Erzo thought it might be able to connect with the systems here, and at least allow us to reach each other.â
âThatâs handy,â Tori said. âWould we be able to reach Jana?â
âNot sure. Weâll have to try it out.â
âOkay.â Tori finally saw Olmed ahead with the other Kantenans. âI gotta go.â
âCool. Weâre at the apartments. I think weâre heading to dinner soon. Is that right, Erzo?â
âDinner,â she heard Pollyâs alien agree in the background.
âFine,â Tori said âIâm finishing up shopping and then Olmed and I are, uh, looking up some old friends.â
âHave fun. Talk later. Text if you need me,â Polly said.
âYou too.â
They disconnected the call and Tori was almost to Olmed. She reached him just in time to hear one of the other red aliens speaking.
âWe have plenty of room. And you know those charges, we can get them revoked. It is not a problem.â
âCharges? What charges?â she whispered.
Was he a wanted criminal? A suspect in a crime? Had he been convicted? Was he running from the law? Wait, no, that would make him a convict, one who was serving a sentence.
What was his sentence? And what was his crime?
âTori,â Olmed said, turning to look at her.
âA friend?â the other male said. He tipped his head back and laughed. âSheâs so tiny. To each their own, I suppose. Come, come. We go now.â
Tori glanced at Olmed. âWhere are we going?â
âBack to Kantenan.â
âBut, uhââ
âIâll explain later.â
âYouâd better.â
