“What do they call you?” Silverstein replied abashedly.

“The only game in town currently when it comes to moving people or goods by air,” she replied.

“The Romani people have a monopoly on these old commercial transports?” Silverstein asked with raised eyebrows.

“Those who were not blood we adopt. While multinational corporations collapse, a community of truckers and private shippers have banded together into shipping collective,” she replied taking the first step onto the ramp leading up into her ship.

“Well done,” Ezra said without malice.

I couldn’t help but agree with him. That they managed to stay in the air and operate the old transports without government sanction or subsidy was a testament to their fortitude and courage. That they made a living being blacklisted from commercial terminals with access to only the very few private airfields is what gave them their sinister reputation before the shutdown. In the aftermath, they used that adversity to define themselves as something more than just being smugglers and mercenaries. They were also very snappy dressers and made their clothes by hand, something I respected. I wanted to learn at least one stitch or sewing trick from them before it was all over.

The interior of the transport was very spartan with the only things being supplies and trade goods secured to the walls with pressure poles extending from the floor to the ceiling. The wooden floors were notched with the passage of hundreds or thousands of shipments being loaded and unloaded. That’s when I saw Matthias leaning in the hallway leading to the crew quarters.

He smiled and walked out to greet us, his long white hair pulled back, his beard neatly trimmed. He was wearing the same sort of clothes as the rest of the crew. He looked like he’d taken a beating recently which made me worry, but the feeling gave way to my relief at seeing him.

“Matthias!” I cried out, running over to hug him.

“Taylor, I’m glad you guys are alright,” Matthias said taking a knee to return the hug.

I had so many questions for Matthias I couldn’t even think straight. When he cupped my face in his hands I could tell he’d been restrained and probably kicked around by the wound to his forehead. He looked about somewhat nervously which was all the excuse I needed.
