Letting the tone of his voice clearly imply what he would not speak aloud.
     
Clearing his throat Kirrek replied, “Of course. Understandable. I was wondering if I could introduce Sidhawk to your Cordisa then. They could entertain one another while you are otherwise engaged.”
     
“She is asleep again. I will allow him to watch over Hailey until my return, while you come with me. If I have to kill Loku I will need you to watch the bridge.” Jarrek joked deadpan.
     
“Of course, brother. I will let Sidhawk into your rooms and will meet you on the bridge.” Kirrek replied. He knew as well as Jarrek, that Loku was in no danger of losing his life by Jarrek’s hand. Continuing down the corridor, he led Sidhawk to his brother’s rooms and keyed in his code. “I will return shortly.” Kirrek said as he watched Sidhawk hurry into his brother’s room.
     
Sidhawk quickly walked through the door, eager to see what this female looked like. He didn’t’ even look at Kirrek as he said goodbye and went to look at the female. Hailey was such a strange name. He wondered what it meant. Finally seeing what Kirrek was talking about made Sidhawk’s jaw drop open. If her name meant lushly beautiful, then he would believe it. Great Goddess above! She was a breath stealing vision for sure. Her curves were exactly right to hold a man. Kirrek had not done her justice. He would not be surprised to find she was a Goddess in flesh.

A Disturbing Message
              Jarrek strode onto the bridge with frustrated strides. Loku and he had been friends since birth. He could not remember a time in his life he had been without Loku’s companionship, but right now, he would like to throw him out the nearest airlock. “Report!” He shouted after he had gotten two steps into the room, making his way to his chair.
     
              Loku Rai Trindon strode to Jarrek’s side saying, “It is not good Commander. Varill’s ship is pursuing us vigorously, but that is not what I called you to witness. I would not have disturbed you for anything, as the ship was buzzing about the woman you carried to medical within two microsecs after your emergence from the shuttle. Who she is to you and the implications of your discovery has affected everyone aboard this ship. The news has even gone via fast capsule to Athria and your father. However, Varill has sent a message for you that I knew you would want to see.”
     
              “Then play his message.” Jarrek demanded.
     
“You may wish to brace yourself Commander, it is very disturbing to see and,” Loku began, before Jarrek waved his explanation away.
     
“I am not ignorant Loku. Frustrated as you interrupted the start of something wonderful, but never ignorant. I know that you would never interrupt me for something trivial.  The bland tone you used on the link gave me the information that it will be quite horrific. Just get on with it.”
     
“Yes, Commander. Play message.” Loku ordered.
     
Varill’s ugly countenance appeared on the large screen in front of him. He had a horrific parody of a smile on his face, lending him even more menace.
     
“My old friend Jarrek, why did you leave so soon? Well, it is always a pleasure to see you no matter how long you stay, but we had not quite reached the fun parts. I did not even get to give you any new scars. Such a shame, as you are not quite as pretty as I would like to make you. Not nearly as lovely as the prize you stole from me. I want my pet back Jarrek.” Varill snarled, finally losing that fake smile.
     
“Go find your own pussy, friend. I was quite enjoying mine. Would you like to see? Hmm, I bet you would. Yes, show my friend Jarrek some of the wonderful things I got to enjoy with my pet before he so rudely stole her away.”
     
His face vanished, only to be replaced by a nightmare. His Cordisa was unconscious, naked and restrained to a metal table. Varill was running his nasty
