They had my mother and sister hostage. Sure they’d escaped a few times, but no one could evade the Union forever.
Not even the last Reaper.
Sooner or later, I would have to fight. And to do that, I needed a crew. I needed a fleet. I needed an army.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying the Starbrand Premium,” X-37 declared.
I believed my limited artificial intelligence this time. He had a habit of nagging me about health issues but maybe he’d figured out that I needed to decompress, put things behind me, and just forget about what I was for a while.
“Thanks, X. You’re the best semi-imaginary digital friend a person could have.” I slurred the words.
“Promise you won’t get angry with me,” X-37 said.
“I can’t imagine what you could do to make me cross with you right now,” I said, staring at the star field and thinking about everything I’d learned.
“There’s a case of premium Starbrand cigars and a whisky closet behind a hidden door to the captain’s quarters,” X-37 said.
“What?” I jerked upright, slamming my feet on the deck. “How long have you known this?”
“Since we boarded the Jellybird. I thought you were trying to quit both vices and didn’t want to tempt you,” X-37 said.
I relaxed into my chair, chuckling under my breath. “This wasn’t a bad day, X. Let’s do it again soon.”
Cain, Elise, and X-37 will return in Wings of the Reaper, coming June 2019.
