Anja's Star (Outer Settlement Agency) - Plot & Excerpts
And his heart. Hell, he might as well send Crost a note of thanks at the end of this mess. As for the elder Ert’zod, Retzi intended to give him a well placed left hook. If Retzi was still alive after, he’d explain to his father that Anja was no longer available for employment. She deserved a better life than having to look over her shoulder for the rest of her days. He could vouch for her and get her enrolled in the academy. A tough woman like Anja needed a badge, not a criminal file in her datapac. She didn’t have one yet, he checked, and if she got out now, no one would ever have to know. Personally, it meant he’d get to keep an eye on her, no matter how distantly. A freezing year on Saturn wouldn’t be so bad and he could pull a few strings to get her to his base. He wanted her, plain and simple. Nothing she said could persuade him otherwise and he saw no point in waiting. Life in the outer settlements demanded a team approach and they made a good one. He wasn’t a fool though.
