15 The Red Hotel

“What do you mean you can’t find him?” Seb yelled.

“I’m sorry, sir, but there is no one on Pyrus Station with initials that contain B. D. D.,” the virtual operator said.

“Big Dick Darryl. Stop using the initials.”

“I’m sorry, sir, but profanity is not permitted. Please try again.”

“Ugh, you stupid fucking machine,” Seb said, throwing himself back into his chair.

“I’m sorry, sir, but profanity is not permitted. Please try again.”

“Yes, I know, but I already gave you twenty other names, and it’s the same thing every time. Terry Tight Lips, Slick Rick, Gorgar The Destroyer . . .”

“I’m detecting that you are stressed. Shall I plot the nearest path to a medical or recreational facility?”

“No! I just need a name!”

Seb grabbed another bottle of beer from the nearby table and slung his head over the back of the couch.

There’s got to be someone on the outside besides HER who owes me. I’m not ready to play that card yet. I need more leverage if I’m going to go that route. That’s a future problem. What about the others? How many times did I stop Krax from getting jumped in the can? Or that time Yuri wanted to get a letter to his girl outside. All of that shit can’t be for nothing. Someone’s got to know someone.

“Hello, sir?” a separate voice called over the room’s intercom. “Your time is almost up. Would you like to reserve the room for another thirty minutes?”

“Yeah, go ahead. I’m not finished.”

After station security took Nalla away, his priority became her rescue. His mind made him feel sick contemplating whether or not she was worth it. The situation left him at a personal crossroads. He was finally free yet felt trapped by the very system that locked him away. There was a part of him that wanted to leave, visit the closest brothel, and spend all of his money trying to forget about the last ten years. But deep down, he knew he couldn’t. As scared as the prison system had left him, he just didn’t have it in himself to leave Nalla’s fate to someone who would abuse her. He had to keep his word.

He’d hailed the first taxi he saw and had it drop him off at the closest holonet cafe, located in the second ring of Pyrus Station. While the exterior ring of the station was reserved for more industrial purposes, the second ring was where most of the residential areas were. Each block was its own mini city with all the amenities needed for its inhabitants. The buildings were stacked as tall as the sky box allowed, slowly rising to the station’s center, which opened up for the elite. Corporate Plaza wasn’t as jam-packed as the rest of the facility. It had space dedicated to skyscrapers that rose from the streets like the hand of a dead android.

The conversations he was going to have weren’t for prying ears, and so he splurged on a private room that was furnished with three lounge sofas and the fastest speed package the cafe offered.
