The captain’s abrupt decision to depart had been met with dismayed protests from Ernesh-Flishmo, who argued that Gold was needed on Tau Ophiucus, that there were so many matters that needed his attention and direct involvement.

“They’ll all keep until I return,” Gold insisted. “Patrice ran a tight ship, and everything seems to still be running smoothly, even in her absence. No harm will be done if things remain as is for a while.”

The chief counsel was not satisfied with that answer, which had zero impact on Gold.

Once Abramowitz joined the captain, Hawkins, and Lense at Patrice’s office, the four of them headed to the spaceport where they had parked the shuttlecraft. As they approached the small vessel, Gold noticed someone standing near it, apparently looking it over. It was Gris Giernad, of all people.

“Mr. Giernad, is there something you need?” Gold called out.

Giernad seemed momentarily startled by their arrival but recovered quickly.

“No, Captain. I was just waiting for you. I wanted to wish you a safe trip—and success in your investigation. Ms. Bennett meant so much to so many people. She inspired nothing but loyalty and respect, and if what happened to her was indeed foul play, well, there are a lot of people here who’ll be counting on you to bring the person responsible for it to justice.”

“Thank you, Mr. Giernad,” Gold replied, patting the purple-skinned man on the shoulder. “We’ll do our very best not to let you down.”

The captain and his traveling companions boarded the shuttlecraft. Soon—but not soon enough, as far as an increasingly anxious David Gold was concerned—the vessel was back among the stars and headed for Joras and the da Vinci.
