with loathing.
    “Concede,” he growled in a low, dangerous
voice.
    The male’s hand moved slightly toward his
belt. Razor didn’t wait. He pulled the trigger. The two males
standing in front and to the side of the human jumped in panic as
the male collapsed. Coarse expletives filled the room as the human
military grabbed the remaining males. One of the human officers
reached for Razor but backed off when Razor turned the pistol in
his hand toward him.
    A loud sigh filled the air. “Was that really
necessary, Razor? The negotiations were going well,” Councilmen
Badrick remarked sardonically, looking with distaste at the dark
blood staining the finely woven carpet on the floor.
    Razor turned his eyes to the slender male
with long white hair and faint blue-tinted skin. There was no love
lost between the two of them. He knew Badrick didn’t always approve
of his methods. In fact, he had been the lone dissent on the
Alliance Council asking for Razor to step in.
    The council really had no other choice.
Razor had already informed them that no more Trivator warriors
would be sacrificed on this world. Either they allowed him to end
the last areas of rebellion, or he would pull the warriors and let
the Alliance security teams deal with them alone. Six years was
longer than it had taken to bring any of the other worlds the
Alliance had inducted under control.
    “Yes, it was necessary. Your species does
not have the sense of smell a Trivator does. If you did, you would
have smelled the explosives on the male. Did you not have your
security team check the humans before you agreed to meet with
them?” Razor asked in a cool voice.
    Badrick looked down at the dead male with
disdain. He shrugged his slender shoulders as he looked back at
Razor. He was very careful to keep his true feelings hidden. He was
well aware of the Trivator warrior’s opinion of him.
    “I will talk to the security team. I had
assumed they would have checked the humans before allowing them
inside the building. Are you sure he had explosives on him?”
Badrick asked in a calm voice.
    “Press the detonator button he has at his
waist and let me know if I’m wrong,” Razor replied before he looked
at the two remaining rebels. “Who sent you?”
    The male who had originally been doing the
talking swallowed several times as he looked at the laser pistol
now pointed at his head. He paled and began to tremble violently as
he opened his mouth to speak. He stumbled several times before he
finally choked out one name.
    “Parks,” he whispered.
    Razor pulled the trigger before he turned it
to the last man. “One last time,” he snarled in a low voice. “I
want the truth this time. Who sent you?”
    The other man’s eyes widened for a moment
before he shoved the MP holding his arm. He reached for his waist
at the same time as Razor pulled the trigger. A bright stain of red
spread over the front of the male’s chest as he collapsed.
    “Well, at least we know which side to
contact now,” Badrick remarked as he wiped a small splattering of
blood from his cheek.
    Razor’s eyes turned to coldly observe the
other councilman. “He was lying. Parks did not send them.”
    “Of course Parks did,” Badrick said with
disdain. “The human admitted it before you killed him. Parks
obviously does not want Allen to receive additional support. He
probably knew that our forces were going to join with Allen so he
wished to eliminate you in the hopes of blaming it on Allen.”
    “Do you really believe the shit coming out
your mouth or are you just that stupid?” Cutter asked under his
breath.
    Badrick turned and coldly looked Cutter up
and down. “You are dismissed. In fact, all of you are dismissed.
This is a matter between Chancellor Razor and myself. Your presence
is not required,” he stated with contempt.
    “Now, wait just a damn minute,” Colonel
Baker, the human commander for the area interrupted. “I’m in charge
of this district. I want to hear Councilman
