he had caught her in the cargo hold she might never figure out. Their security was good, better than anything she’d worked around on Earth. Lying in bed all she could think about was Stevr and now that he’d noticed her she would never get her assignment done satisfactorily. If it wasn’t for that she would be out in the ship exploring restricted areas and figuring out what was going on.
Pulling her case out, she removed a small device out. Poking her finger with a needle, she placed a drop of blood in it. It would broadcast her bio signature as if she were here. Pulling out another device she attached it. That would block her signature so that her presence didn’t show. The time had come to get out there so she could get on top of things. Things were going on and she needed to find out what they were then decide if she should assist them or stop them.
Earth’s government was of two minds. There was the president who was as corrupt as they came but there were others not so bad. A community of lesser officials and others working to counteract the evil and self-interest growing rampant in their world. Some chose to leave while others chose to stay and fight. A third group left but aided the battle to bring Earth’s government back under the control of her people. Most of her life, even as a young girl, she had been in the second group. Now that she’d been sent away she was considering joining the last group. If she ended up in the right position, she could do much for her old home and help bring down the president, a man she hated more than anyone.
Geena had her reasons but she never told a soul. It was her own personal humiliation and sorrow that wasn’t meant to be shared. She watched him from a distance as he changed becoming more and more heartless and greedy. Her hatred grew turning a part of her black with it. That was something she needed to put out of her mind while she prepared to scout the ship. If he caught her again nothing she said would sway him. It wasn’t like he hadn’t warned her.
She knew there were cameras in the hall but none in her room or bathroom. They respected privacy as much as they could which she admired but had to take advantage of. She pointed her device outside her door where it would disrupt the cameras as she sprinted down the hallway. Once she made it past her room she thought she would go unnoticed. Her hair was covered in one of the scarves some of the other ladies wore. Hurrying to the lift, she needed to finish her scan of the cargo hold.
The lift went down as fast as usual. It must not bother Mazlans or you would think they would fix it. Geena waited a second until her stomach rejoined her to exit the lift. She knew she had to be prepared for anything. Slipping to the side she’d not gotten to, she looked for any sign of the sensor she must have tripped on the other side. Before she’d turned it off. There it was, it looked like a rivet. It was ingenious the way it blended in. Sending a signal to it, she slipped by without an alarm sounding. Now she began scanning looking for anything that didn’t belong.
It was the flashing light in the maintenance closet that alerted her to the fact that she was fucked. Was it possible scanning had set it off? Stevr was no doubt on his way or one of his males if he was asleep. The lift sounded as it headed back up to pick up its passenger. She moved to the flashing device hoping it wasn’t what it appeared to be. If it was she couldn’t leave without attempting to disarm it anyway. Geena wasn’t ready to die yet and whatever it was, if it was a bomb its intent would be to destroy this ship.
“You didn’t escape like your predecessor did.” Stevr observed calmly.
“I didn’t plant the bomb. I’m not suicidal.”
“And yet here you are again.”
“I was sent to prevent any accidents. You can check my device. It scans for explosives.”
“A good cover in case you’re caught.”
“I’d like to stand here for hours
