“Good. This is what I need you to do.”

“I’m listening,” Gaishon said.

“Sire, we are not alone,” Vennie said quickly.

“My mate is here, Sire. Other than that, we are alone,” Gaishon hurriedly assured him.

“You are mated?” Quin asked.

“Yes, Sire,” Gaishon said proudly.

“Many happinesses upon you.”

“This will never be spoken of. It is to be done and forgotten.”

“I give you my word, Sire,” Gaishon said.

“Very well, I’m trusting you because Rokai does.”

“I am aware.”

“Track Ba Re’s credit band. Contact Rokai and give him the location along with this message, ‘this is where Mirilla is’.”

“This is where Mirilla is,” Gaishon repeated.

“Correct.”

“Right away, Sire.”

“Missy!” Quin said.

“I am listening, Sire.”

“As soon as Gaishon finishes his assignment, remove all record of it from your memory banks.”

“Yes, Sire.”

“And remove all record of this conversation from your memory banks as well,” Quin ordered.

“Yes, Sire.”

“I’m counting on you, Gaishon.”

“I will not fail, Sire. It may be difficult to find him, but I can do it.”

“Thank you. And, again, many happinesses.”

Gaishon handed Vennie his communicator and Vennie left Gaishon’s quarters. As soon as they were alone, Gaishon started rushing around pulling things out of storage crates. Looking for something.

“You said Sire. Was that actually our Sire?”

Gaishon turned to look at the pretty, pale gray female lying in their bed, clutching the blankets and sheets to her chin. “Yes. Didn’t I tell you that Rokai is his brother?”

“Yes, but I didn’t realize that you knew him as well. Are we in trouble? Will we be in trouble?” she asked worriedly.

“No, not at all. He simply knows that Rokai and I have many secrets from our past and if anyone can contact him, I can.”

“Why wouldn’t he answer his brother, especially if he’s Sire?”
