Desperation gripped me. “Listen, Cara, why don't we leave this to Mr. Black and Jayce? They're the experts here. I may be Jayce's assistant, but let's face it, you and I are out of our league when it comes to this stuff.”

Sebastian sat up straight, as straight as he could. “Well, it looks like your gopher does have some brains after all, Jayce. I'm glad to see that you're at least fucking someone with common sense, Car.”

“Fuck you, Sebastian!” Cara said with fire in her eyes.

“Oh, but we've already done that,” Sebastian retorted.

Cara stood up so fast her chair nearly flipped over and the tablecloth pulled down to the floor on one side. Jayce was quick to his feet and already had an arm around Cara, the other holding her wrist. “That's enough. I think we better be going. Sebastian, I'll have them get you a shuttle ready to take you to your suite. Andy, will you be so kind to take Cara—”

Cara wrenched free of his grip. “I don't need anyone to take me home! I'll be just fine!”

She stormed off and was leaving Cosmos when Jayce started after her. “Good night, gentlemen.”

Sebastian sat, sipping the last of his gin and tonic, still as stone and just as cold. “She never told you about us? Well, there is not much to tell really. Beneath that warm beautiful skin, she is a cold woman.”

I sat in silence, my consciousness hovering a foot over my head, contemplating the ridiculous course of events and examining myself through the looking glass.

“She never told you that she worked for me either, huh? For Futura? She worked at Futura, but I used to think she was there for me. Hah! That woman only lives for herself and whatever the hell it is she is looking for.”

“Her parents. She's looking for her parents,” I said quietly as I stared at the remains of dinner.

That made Sebastian laugh. “Yes, her parents or fate or destiny or the music man …or some other bullshit like that. Well she's going to get her chance.”

“How do you mean?”

“Jayce said you were friends, but he left you in the dark too, huh? That cold, beautiful wench may have a screw loose or maybe not. Either way she is the most talented psychic on Luna.”

“Fortune-telling?”

Sebastian hiccupped. “Christ! Not fortune-telling, kid, something more special than that. Special indeed, she's special … she … she, ah hell…” Sebastian slammed his empty glass on the table and staggered up from his chair “…that's all the fun I can take for one night. See ya, kid.”
