His mission is  to learn the source of a very dangerous and addictive new drug.  He goes in drag, disguised as a glamorous young woman, to catch Mendoza’s roving eye. Even before he meets Mendoza, he encounters a Mendoza’s striking body guard.. Despite his lone wolf habits, Ren sees advantages in working together. Still, trust comes slowly and not without a hitch, but soon they must rely on one another to survive.<br><br>Darzul Onaygan has been sent from his home world of Arzula to blend in with the earthlings and help them fight off the evil alien invaders. Bisexual as most Arzulans are, many even able to switch gender at will, he finds Ren very attractive in both his guises. He sees Ren is interested but shocked to learn his new friend is not from earth. Darzul knows it takes more than hot sex to build a partnership. While outside threats may force them to work together, that alone cannot forge a bond. Will they live long enough to accomplish their mission and become real partners?

“He has a strange metabolism,” Mendoza explained, pausing between slow draws on the pipe. “Few spices seem to bring him any effects.”


Ren nodded. “He’s not a local then, not un chicano?”


Mendoza shrugged, irritation in the movement. “I have no idea. He’s useful. He passed my tests for loyalty and reliability. I ask no more. Where my people called home before they came here is of no significance to me.”


Ren knew better than to pursue that line of questioning for now. He could not afford to make Mendoza either angry or suspicious. Perhaps he’d have a chance to ask Sombra himself later on. He took a careful draw, felt the sweet, scented smoke warm through his lungs and then flow out his nostrils as he exhaled. Trusting in the spell, he expected the drug not to affect him. At least he hoped it would not.
