CHAPTER 39

Eric stood in the kitchen flipping through different recipes when Fiona came in from the bedroom.

“Have you chosen anything?”

“Not yet,” he admitted. “Anything you want?”

“Something big. I’m starving.”

“Me too,” Eric answered with a smile. “It’s weird how we’re both hungry.”

“English breakfast? It’s big and quick.”

“Boring,” Eric observed. “But you’re right. It’s fast to make unless you’re planning on making your own bread.”

“Like you did that other time. Two hours.” She held up her two fingers aggressively. “I was already ravenous before it started.”

“But it was wonderful bread.”

“I’m never agreeing to that again.”

Eric laughed. “Today, we’ll order in bread. But cook the rest?”

She nodded. “I assume you’ve monitored everything that happened overnight,” she said, glancing toward the screen that showed the operation’s objectives.

Samesh’s line was still a question mark, but it hadn’t gone red yet. Eric was only mildly concerned.

He saw Fiona hesitate slightly when she read it. The image flickered and drilled down into the additional detail of the actual mission parameters. Eric already knew what it would show. As time passed, the percentages were moving against Samesh, but there was still a forty percent chance he was fine and just slow in getting back to them after all the sabotage had been a success. Fiona read the same thing he had checked earlier. The screen collapsed, and she frowned.

Eric patted her in a consoling manner on the shoulder. “Yep, I’ve been monitoring. That and Zhong are the only concerns. Unsurprisingly, they’ve moved some assets to new locations. Their businesses, apart from Ecstatic Void distribution, are functioning normally. As a criminal gang, they’re still solvent.”

“Angry?”

“Presumably, it’s not like I’ve got a feed into Dougie boy’s office.”

“Did you just call the most vicious gang leader in the entire system Dougie boy?”

Eric grinned at her. “My status as the reborn trumps any claim to fame Dougie boy has.”

“What’s this?” Fiona pointed toward one of the three major accounts they had deliberately not stolen the money from. “Two million credits going out.”

“Has to be a payment for a specialist.”

“The seeker?” she asked.

Eric shrugged. “I expect it was already paid for. This is most likely something else.”

“Maybe an information exchange,” Fiona mused.

“I don’t think so. Dougie’s not stupid. If their seeker has been stymied for three months, they know an intelligence broker won’t crack the case.”

“Then what? You know,” she accused.

Eric mentally touched a couple of buttons. An image of a sleek station appeared. It was all smooth lines and shaped like a functioning planet dropship.

“Is this supposed to mean anything to me?”

“You haven’t done a reverse image search?” Eric asked in surprise.

“No.” Fiona sounded disgruntled. “With your stupid security protocols, they take too long.”

“These guys are the front office for the only true full-service smuggling network. The official business is logistics and mercenaries that can be hired for legitimate endeavors and the grayer variety.”

“And you think they’ve been hired?”

“How? Why?”

An image of a man appeared. “That’s Zang Wang. He’s their number one end-to-end fixer. Ten minutes after that money left, he jumped to the outer system.
