Retired - Chapter Six – Death from above

... surrounded. Please advise.” “We have twenty thousand troops deploying now. Have you located the perpetrator?” “Yes. I have the Grand Duchess Daria in custody.” “Hold onto her. The Emperor will give you her Grand Dukedom if he gets to hang that bitch.” The Duchess was staring daggers at me as I spoke over the bob. I advised the ship of her ability to eavesdrop. “Be advised the rats have ears.” “Understood.” I waited for the men to arrive at the office. None of the duchess’ men showed up. They had heard the conversation and ran for the hills. Then I spoke over the bob again. That had told me they all had ears. “Dundal, if you surrender yourself and testify against the duchess, I will bargain for leniency.” “Don’t do it Dundal! He killed your brother!”, the duchess said over the net. Then the voice of Dundal came over the bob. “I think I will remain free for a while, Drake. I still have a vengeance to plan. Good luck.

Once we were on the carrier the captain tried to give me his quarters for the voyage. I refused, telling him we would only be here for a day or two. We were given an officer’s room, though. I sat in the room after I had a shower. It felt good to be clean again. Then Lizell came out of the shower. She still had drops of water on her skin, and they glistened like diamonds in the soft light. I wondered if she was regretting anything yet. Then she came over to me and dropped her towel. Her naked body was dazzling in my eyes. Then she sat in my lap and threw her arms around my neck. “What are your plans now, my love.” “I am going to see the duchess safely hanged. Then I will return to Mud and finish retiring.” “Drake, you can no more retire than I can become a duck. You need this life.
