“Coins, death ray, pistol, datapad. I think I have everything.” Rivka smirked as she looked at her bodyguard.

“Sounds like you forgot one thing, Magistrate. The desire to excel. Never leave home without it, I always say.”

Lindy and Jay were staying aboard this time. Rivka didn’t want to worry about them, so she could concentrate on the contractors, get access for Ankh, get the information she needed, and get out.

Nefas knew about her and had already ordered her death once. She expected it was a standing order for anyone who did business with him. She wanted to find more predicate crimes, but owing to her conversation with the High Chancellor, she wasn’t so wrapped around the axle about finding at least two that were ordered by an enterprise. She had hard proof that Nefas had ordered her murder. That was all she needed to cut the head off the snake, although in court, he would claim that the voice wasn’t his and that there must have been a different Nefas.

Erasmus still hadn’t found a direct link between Breedin Company and Mandolin. Rivka guessed they’d need a lucky break to make that connection—a break like a broken head. I’ll beat a confession out of them! She laughed at her own joke. She figured the contractors would know less about Mandolin than what she could find publicly.

But she’d look into the contractors with her goal of keeping the peace, protecting the innocent while punishing the guilty.

It sounded more like a mandate than a legal drama.

Because it is, she thought. It’s a reckoning.

“Credit for your thoughts, Magistrate?” Red asked, but quickly shook his head. “Never mind, not my place. You know the drill: I go in first, stay behind me, and keep your head on a swivel. Don’t stand still if you don’t have to.”

The hatch opened, and Red walked out into the bright sunshine. The limousine was waiting, with the same driver they’d had before.

“I heard you needed a lift?” he yelled, peering out of the vehicle’s sunroof.

“Red, would you just shoot me now?”

“How about if I shoot him and we take his car?” Red whispered over his shoulder.

“We don’t know where we’re going,” she admitted.

“How about some earplugs, then?”

“Hey! Aren’t the two hotties coming? I could use some company while I’m waiting.”

“Red,” Rivka whispered.

“I know, I know—shoot you. No can do, Magistrate. Somedays the job is harder than other days.”

“I think I’d rather play chicken with another freighter than put up with this idiot for ten more seconds.”

“Hey!” Red called as they closed on the vehicle. He smiled broadly and motioned for the driver to lean close. When he was within arm’s reach, Red grabbed him by the throat and half-dragged him through the opening in the roof. “You’re annoying the Magistrate, which annoys me. Shut your fucking pie hole and do your job. There’ll be a big tip if we don’t have to hear your voice again.”

The humanoid nodded as well as he could with Red’s massive hand wrapped most of the way around his neck.
