“You could always say she’s turned in for the night.”
Robards shook his head. “Tried something like that, but this outlander was persistent. Wouldn’t take no for an answer. Probably come here to see her if she doesn’t join them over there.”
Katz produced a large plunge-type syringe from his bag. “This will bring her around,” he said, then sighed. “But she’s your problem after that.”
Robards put a hand on his blaster and said, “Just do it!”
Katz gave Eleander the jab.
At first nothing happened, and then her eyelids fluttered open. “Where, what…” She put a hand on her forehead. “Headache.”
“Thanks,” Robards said.
“Don’t thank me,” Katz replied. “You’re on your own. I want nothing to do with this.”
Robards snickered. “You’re already involved.”
Katz shook his head. “You mention my name, and the baron will get the full story. About the others, too…” He closed his bag and left the room before Robards had a chance to respond.
At the sound of Katz’s departure, Eleander’s eyes opened wider. When she realized Robards was standing over her, she instinctively tried to move away from him, crawling backward like a spider.
“Relax,” Robards said. “I’m not going to hurt you.”
She looked skeptical.
“The baron wants to see you. Apparently, one of the bastard outlanders has taken a shine to you.”
A sleepy smile broke over Eleander’s face.
“Tidy up,” Robards said, pulling back the blanket. “I don’t want to keep the baron, or the outlanders, waiting.”
