“I can smell her fear,” Tymla whispered.
“Please.”
“I want my ship back,” Rzel growled.
“I can’t afford to lose my job.”
“You won’t, because we might take you with us. There is a very lucrative human market out there.”
I pushed forward, trying to escape from them. The other one grabbed me by the waist and laughed as he swung me around like a sack of potatoes. “Look at her! She’s as light as a small pup.”
The alien rubbed his hands down my body till he found the key in my pocket. “Perfection. Let’s go.”
Chapter 55
Ricon
“Pixa, are there any forces from the space station looking for this ship?”
“No. I’m rather mad at you right now. How dare you leave Chloe behind?” Pixa announced.
“You said you would?—”
“You’ve left Earth’s orbit. You’re going to Chex. I was true to my word. I’m telling you that a mistake was made.”
“Can I call Chex?”
“Sure. Meanwhile, I will search all the known dictionaries for names I can call you while you converse.”
The screen futzed before Chex popped up on the viewscreen. “Ricon, where have you been? Orequin destroyed a slave auction for you!”
A slave auction? “What do you mean?” I asked as my brows furrowed.
“She saw a morynth for sale and thought it was you. She got a human out of it though.” Chex shrugged. “She’s blissed out.”
Orequin and I tried to date for a time. But I wanted my mate and I couldn’t focus on her. She always loved humans. “She got her own human?”
“Doesn’t matter. Where were you?”
“I had to lie low while I fixed the ship I stole,” I replied.
“You’re on your way back?” Chex asked.
“Yes, and I have the list. Where’s Andy?”
Chex’s green skin darkened, and his armor scales appeared. “She was worried about Chloe so she’s gone back to Earth to check on her. Have you talked to Chloe?”
I waved my hand as I tried to mask my lies. “I was hiding out. I couldn’t even message you. Do you think I video called her?” I said.
“They’ve been fighting for weeks. Andy’s having trouble adjusting and something’s wrong with Chloe, she said.”
“Can she read Chloe through vids and calls?”
He rolled his eyes. “No. Not everything is hybrid-related. I think it’s human girl things.”
My shoulder deflated as I looked at the ceiling. “Pixa, how far off are we?”
“I’m not talking to you.”
