“Hello?” I said. “Is someone there?”
I aimed at the opening and waited as one of the figures stepped forward.
She was tall with long lithe limbs and lips that were a little too thick for my liking. She was otherwise a stunner.
“Do you have an appointment to see his excellency?” she said.
Her voice was slow and drawling.
Just listening to her made me feel relaxed.
“Uh, no,” I said. “I don’t have an appointment.”
The girl smiled at me amiably and motioned for me to enter.
“Please, take a seat. Draw will be with you in a moment.”
Okay, so this wasn’t what I was expecting.
A gang of ravenous guards armed to the teeth and willing to fight to the death?
Absolutely.
A battle with the putrid and disgusting Draw who possessed more strength and speed than I ever thought possible?
Sure.
A pair of sweet girls with happy smiley faces?
Not so much.
I eased through the doorway and kept a close eye on my surroundings in case this was part of an ambush.
I saw no danger and slipped inside.
I appraised the open layout and the modern feel to the room.
The other girl had a ribbon of red hair that kept moving even when she didn’t move a muscle.
“May I take your jacket?” she said.
“Uh, no,” I said. “I’m okay. Thanks.”
She reached for the plasma rifle and I gripped it tighter.
She didn’t wear an expression of surprise, only interest.
“You can keep it if you want,” she said.
“I will, thanks,” I said.
The first helper floated over with a tray.
On it was a cold towel and a fresh glass of water.
I waved her away and focused on them both.
“I’m looking for the girl Draw brought here. Her name is Agatha.”
