Chapter Ten

“Why do you keep getting apprehended by the local constabulary, Havak?” Grizz asked in utter confusion with a smidge of annoyance.

“Because I’m a charming rogue with dashingly handsome good looks?” I fired back at him.

“In your nocturnal fantasies,” Grizz harrumphed.

“Trust me, Grizz,” I said deadpan. “You do not want to know what is in my nocturnal fantasies.”

“But I do, sugar,” Aurora said. Her voice, as per usual, dripped with barely hidden sexual innuendo.

“Sugar, you’d dig it the most,” I fired back and smiled.

“Yeah, Grizz,” PoLarr chimed in, “I am also very well acquainted with what is in them, and Marc is one hundred percent correct. You want no part of them. Trust me.”

Since I’d gotten back from the police station, we’d all gathered around the Command Center so that I could tell everyone about my morning. The gang was all there. Artie had saved my life and brought me some breakfast and a very large coffee.

“There were no other details about who, what, or when an attempt would be made?” Nova asked.

“Unfortunately, no,” I replied.

“And we won’t get a chance to do any more magnificent sleuthing, because the President is set to arrive in like, fifteen minutes,” Artemis blurted out as she read a notification on the computer. “Divine feces! Come on guys, we have to get to the Gateway room.”

“Tally ho!” I cried and stood up. “Wait, what is the Gateway room?”

“Um, it’s where the Gateway is?” Artemis replied as if I were a mentally deficient but very cute animal. “I’ll explain on the way.”

“I shall meet you there,” Grizz said as he started to disappear. “I am very excited to meet your King in person.”

“He’s not a--” I started to say but Grizz was gone. “Never mind.”

All of us gave ourselves a quick once over. We were dressed for a day of training but in jumpsuits and light armor, but it would have to do. Well, except for Aurora who looked like she always did. I sincerely hoped the President wouldn’t pop a gasket when he met her.

“Guys, come on, while we are still aging through early development!” Artemis urged and began to walk at a very brisk pace toward the door.

Our sexy, adorable, erstwhile AI in human form led us through yet another part of the Hall of Champions that I had never seen.

We got in an elevator near the central part of the building. It was a huge shaft that housed nine elevator cars in a large circle. The five of us stepped on after a group of other champions exited. A few of them nodded and said hi and were friendly enough. Most of them gave us steely glares and didn’t say a word. Which was fine by me. I wasn’t in the making friends business. I was in the kicking ass and winning cool shit for my planet business. And business was booming.

Once we were all in, Artie punched in a special code, and the elevator began to descend rapidly.

“Where is the Gateway room, Artie?” I asked as I watched levels tick by quickly.
