Chapter 16

“Find me someone I can blame for this!”

—H. Hoover

When we got back to the site in the morning, both of us were somewhat shopworn. Aahz was battered from getting tossed around between seven or eight large Deveel brothers. I nursed a bruise on the side of my head, but I had to admit he looked worse.

“Oh, Mr. Aahz!” Miss Tauret exclaimed as we entered the And Company office. “What happened? You look as though a building fell on you!” Her hand flew to her mouth as though trying to take back her words. In Aegis, such a thing could happen.

“I’m okay,” Aahz said, rolling his yellow eyes her way. “It was pretty tough, but I got through with just a few scrapes.”

She rose from her desk. “Let me get you some fresh coffee! Please, go sit down. I’ll have it in your office in just a moment. What can I do to make you feel better?”

Aahz opened his mouth, then paused, looking at her warily. “You don’t have a bunch of big, older brothers, do you?

“Why, no,” Miss Tauret said, her little gray ears turning this way and that. “Just one sister. She is younger than I am.” She looked at me and flirted her eyelashes. “I glyphed her all about you yesterday. She was so impressed that you saved the pyramid.”

“Uh, that’s nice,” I said.

“I taught the kid everything he knows,” Aahz purred, leaning over the desk and staring deeply into her eyes.
