Chapter 13

We didn’t have any problem returning to our dock in District B’s harbor. The woman on dispatch said that they were having system issues, but Juliette was able to smooth talk the woman into letting us return without a security check, since we had “just made a quick trip to the other side of the station and they were saving our spot.”

The police commander didn’t lie when she said she had once been a good pilot. Z did a fine job docking Persephone when we first arrived on Queen’s Hat, but Juliette asked to fly the dark craft back this time, and she’d parked us at the dock without even the slightest of bumps. The execution made Z cross her arms and lean back in her seat, but the redhead surprised both of us by not rubbing in her obvious skill.

“What time is it on the station?” I asked Juliette after the dock tube was attached.

“One in the afternoon, Earth time,” she replied as she stood from the copilot’s seat. “Feels good to fly again, even if for a little bit.”

“We have a dinner appointment with Byron in Huyan’s club. The plan was to meet him,” I said to the redhead as she stretched her arms over her head. The movement stretched her shirt tightly against her firm breasts and showed off the creamy white skin of her toned stomach. Our eyes met, the corner of her mouth turned up in a crooked smile, and I realized she’d tried to get me to look at her. It seemed as if the policewoman had overcome her initial terror of my shift and was doing her usual manipulations.

“You need to find out what the explosives are for,” she said as she lowered her arms to the back of the pilot’s chair and picked up her jacket. She fished inside her pocket and pulled out her pack of smokes.

“If you give us our friend, we can get that done easily,” I said as I crossed my arms over my chest. I was still in my cat form, and I would need to sleep before we went to the club. It was going to be a real rough night because I doubted the six or so hours of rest would actually help me recover from my shift.

“Sorry, but no.”

“What the fuck? We’ve just helped you save these girls!” Z gestured to the five teenagers that sat behind us in the gunner’s seats. “We want to help you!”

“Or, you know there are terrorists in my district, so you’ll just jump on your starship and leave. Nope. I’m not letting your friend out until you deliver proof that Izetta Baccala is involved with Huyan and Byron’s operations.” Juliette slid a cigarette into her mouth and then pulled a lighter out of her jeans.

“No smoking on my bridge,” I growled as she lit it.

“Hmmm,” she winked at me as she inhaled deeply on the rolled tobacco. The woman then made a kissing motion with her mouth and blew out the smoke.
