Dawn was less than an hour away. Fen followed the speeder’s map through Nad’Ris to the spaceport and an alley that ran along the back of the port. She maneuvered the speeder down the narrow passage, weaving back and forth between the trash and broken, pitted pavement.

They hadn’t exchanged two sentences since Kyp’s revelations on the darkened roadway. She eased the speeder into a sheltered alcove and shut it down. When he still didn’t say anything, Fen asked, “You coming?”

Kyp hopped out of the speeder but remained mute.

The back port wall loomed above them, slimy, dirty and a full five meters high. Scanning up and down the alley, Fen found the hoped-for service entrance. “I’m going to try getting it open,” she indicated with a nod. “You stand watch, okay?”

Fen pulled a palm-sized device from a pocket and set it over the door’s security lock.

“Is that what I think it is?” Kyp asked.

Fen cocked an eyebrow at his disapproving voice. “If you think it’s an Opirus Model FD Sixty-Two security descrambler, then it’s exactly what you think it is.”

“Aren’t those illegal?”

“So’s murder,” Fen scoffed.

It was several moments before Kyp asked quietly, “Did you murder everyone you thought was responsible for Jett’s death?”

Fen almost dropped the descrambler. She could tell where this was going; being on the moral high ground was a rarity she wasn’t anxious to give up.

“Did you?” Kyp repeated.

“Yes,” she finally said, as slowly as the descrambler was working.

“If more people had been responsible, would you have retaliated against them, too?”

“You killed billions!” Fen burst out. She glanced nervously around, but the alley remained deserted.

“I know,” Kyp moaned. “I relive it every day. But given the power and means, wouldn’t you have done the same to avenge Jett?”

The answer wasn’t nearly as simple as it should have been.
