Addie, do us all a favor and take it easy. I understand your frustration - I really do. You and the people you love have been put through an agonizing and dangerous night. You want to touch them and make sure everything is like it was yesterday. We want that, too. Are you going to help us get there safely?” she asked simply.
“I’m being unreasonable, aren’t I? No, don’t answer that, I know I am. Thanks for talking me down, Becky. I’ll try to take a nap and wait until morning,” said Addie.
Addie hung up the phone and lay back in bed. She shut her eyes and tried to calm her mind. She also needed to get control of herself. If she were going to be an effective Queen, she couldn’t allow her own wants and desires to take precedence.
She had to start thinking less of her own needs and more of the needs of her people. She couldn’t forget how important her staying alive was.
This is going to be hard. I don’t know if I can do this, she thought. I’m so lucky to have people close to me to help me stay grounded.
This was the last night she would be spending in this bed, and she decided that she wasn’t going to let the bad guys ruin it for her. She rolled over and snuggled into her pillow. She only wished she had one of her Ankida to snuggle with; she didn’t think she could sleep alone anymore.
Just then, the door opened and Kylan walked in. He was dressed in the sweat pants he’d thrown on when the alert had come in. He shucked them and got in the bed with her.
“I was just wishing I had someone with me,” she said.
“Well, Arjun got a text from Becky. She suggested that you might need a little help relaxing.”
He reached for her, and she gave him a little smile as she went into his arms.
Chapter Five
After Becky got the word from Arjun that Addie had gone back to sleep, she checked in with Jett and Jalen again.
Justyn was still in surgery but holding his own. He’d received one transfusion from Jalen and was expected to recover. She knew that Delpha and Zephyr were going to want to move him to the ship to complete his healing.
They had arrived at the hospital in the middle of the surgery. Jalen told her they were only going to observe and be there if Catherine had questions or needed their help.
They didn’t want to push her out of the operating room. They felt it would be disrespectful of their future Join . Ever since Miranda had told them they were matched with a human doctor, they had anticipated meeting her. Unfortunately, these were not ideal circumstances.
Becky was working with Jett to make Justyn’s and Grace’s transfer out of the hospital safe and covered under the guise of police protection.
Justyn would not be testifying, so he could stay in hiding, his fast recovery would be too difficult to cover up. Grace would wear a shoulder brace during the trial even if her shoulder had healed.
Becky began thinking that she wouldn’t be putting the BEIP back in the safe. She’d gotten five hours of work done in an hour and a half. Of course, she’d have to make sure no one knew she had it. There was similar tech here on Earth, but it only interfaced with a few gaming programs for now. Certain people would be very suspicious if they saw it in action.
Checking her data, she now had identities on all the assailants at Grace’s condo and Arjun had sent pictures of the attackers at Addie’s farmhouse. She’d identified them, as well. She was very close to getting the information she needed.
She’d found two bank accounts so far and they both had deposits. Now she would have to match deposits to withdrawals. She needed to match up more of them because the two deposits she found, while large, weren’t the same. An hour later, after cracking three more bank accounts belonging to hit men, it appeared that payments were based on jobs - bigger risks, bigger payoffs.
