Chapter Fifteen

Looks that lingered and small laughs filled the car ride back to the flat. Zero could see the promise of more kisses in Logan’s eyes, and his stomach fluttered, and his crotch filled. They hurried through the front door and towards the bedroom with their hands linked.

“Sir, you have an urgent message from the palace.”

All good feelings faded and Zero gulped and stopped his eager stride.

He moved away from Logan’s bed-lust eyes and stood in the living room.

“Play it.”

Apollo appeared in hologram form. He grinned smugly and brushed his fingers against his medallion as he spoke.

“It has been reported, that on the 21st of April, you dropped a food-picker from the top of the undergrown cavern. This resulted in a three-minute delay to the picker schedule. We have decided that you need punishment to set an example to other picker-fixers, and the younger generation. We have deducted five tokens. As you did not have any, we had to take the value from your food pouches. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Apollo.”

Zero didn’t wait for the hologram to fade, he rushed through Apollo to get to the kitchen.

He tugged the food draw open and swallowed uncomfortably at the remaining pouch. He wriggled his fingers, then reached for the broccoli and squash. As soon as he lifted it from the drawer, the lights in the flat changed from their warm gold, to a deep scarlet.

“What’s that mean?” Logan asked.

Zero glanced at him.

“Zero?”

He crushed the pouch in his fist, then threw it on the table. He needed more tokens. He needed more time to fix the machine. The red lights signalled the end, the last day before he would be escorted from the tower block.

“Means I’ve got to call Honey.”

He faced the ceiling and cleared his throat. “Call Honey, tell her I need her here ASAP.”

When he turned back to Logan his eyes were wide and alert. “Why do you need Honey?”

Zero stared at Logan’s feet as he whispered, “You’re gonna spend the night with her.”

“Why? Where are you going?”

Zero sighed and lifted his gaze. “To get more tokens. We need more time.”

“Honey is on the way, sir.”

Zero lifted his hat and bowed to the ceiling. “Thanks.”

He pointed at the food pouch, and Logan eyed it with suspicion. “What is it?”

“Broccoli, and squash, it’s all yours.”

“We’ll share it.”

Zero rubbed at his queasy stomach. It wasn’t the lack of food that had it bloated, but the thought of what he had to do to earn tokens.

“I’d rather go on an empty stomach.”

“Go where?”

Zero huffed and strolled to the window. He glared down at the drop and spoke over his shoulder.

“I have to go to the palace.”

Zero jolted forward at the slapping sound. He turned and dropped his eyes to the food pouch spilling on the floor. Logan’s chin bobbed, and his lips quivered.

“Why?”

“Apollo said he would pay me a token, or two…”

It wasn’t just Logan’s lips that trembled, his whole frame seemed to vibrate, and his eyes didn’t blink.

“For what? What will he pay you for?”

Zero pinched the bridge of his nose.
