Chapter Twenty-Five

Apparently, Eltson is currently tying to outrun us.

Not going to happen though, Mort says Black Siron's ship is much faster. I am super happy though; this experience has not been bad at all. Quite the opposite, weirdly enough.

Here I thought I was bought into some dark-twisted, sex slavery ring but I have been treated like gold here. It's very confusing because I am here relaxing like a queen on my fancy bed listing to Mort chew gummy bears. Not a pleasant sound. A lot of swishing and sloshing.

"Where did you get those?"

She looks up at me from her desk in the corner of our small room. "Peirce."

"He just gives you candy randomly?" I ask with a frown.

She rolls her eyes. "Not randomly, just when he feels bad. Earlier when I was scouting, I took a wrong turn, and got caught in a room I was not supposed to be in."

I sat up and stare at her. "What room?"

"It's not a big deal."

"Well, it warranted gummy bears."

She shrugs, ignoring me.
