Caressa’s POV
Caressa, still wet from the pool, was in the middle of laughing and getting dressed with Michyle when an alarm sounded.
“Damn it!” Michyle cursed.
“What is it?” Caressa asked frightened.
“That is our alarm system. I need to go to the top deck and see what the problem is.” He took her by the arm and placed a palm sized compact dial in her hand. “Quickly go back to the suite and change into dry clothes. I will keep my com-link on. Press the button on the dial and you will be able to hear everything that is going on.”
“Michyle, I’m scared,” Caressa admitted, as panic washed over her.
“I will go and find out what it is.” Michyle paused and took in a deep breath. “If anything happens to me, get to my house on the colony and find Sovereign Benhot. He will take care of you.”
“Michyle?” Caressa was not sure what her response should be.
“Everything will be okay,” he tried to assure her as he walked her from the pool and placed her on the lift.
