“What are you even doing here?” She ripped off the tape from Aunt Lucy’s mouth and she explained how I had called her and told her that she shou...d come here and we would patch everything up. Unfortunately those were never my intentions. “It was a trap” I said. “She destroyed our family by being a harlot, she betrayed you as a sister and now it’s time for revenge. This is how we can move past dad and his treachery, we will do what she did to us right back to her. From now on she’s going to be. In an hour, they would be here. She hit the inter-station communication switch. “Master, we have two Republic Cruisers, identified as the Hyperion and the Victor, now in system. I estimate an hour before they’re here.”“They responded faster than I anticipated,” Tremar’s voice came back. “Begin preparations to jump to Brigia. Larian, scramble as many fighters as you can. Reanne, assist Larian. I will be on the command deck shortly.”Reanne darted away as the line went dead, and Iliyana began to. When she was done she took the coats from her latest guests, dumped them on me and said, "Please put these with the others, dear."Some wag said, "Not even married and he's henpecked already."I shrugged and said, "Yeah, but what a charming hen!" Everyone, including Lou, laughed.Soon, everyone seemed to lose their initial defensiveness and, as I circulated around the room, I could see people enjoying the food Lou had laid out, along with the adult drinks she provided. While I chatted with Diamond. Mom took care of him while Aunt Sally worked on the late shift. I bet he misses Mom. I know she misses him 'cause she talks about him when she is praying to God." Is Sally really your aunt?" No, but she almost was. She is Bob's sister and would have been if Mom had been dumb enough to marry Bob. Bob doesn't like Paul and makes fun of him and teases him, and that's one reason Mom wouldn't marry Bob when he asked her to. Paul doesn't have a daddy either, just like me. His daddy ran away when he.
