decision to be more thoughtful and ask his friend how his life was going next time he saw him. Meanwhile, he needed to plan the seduction of the beautiful Cindy. He started by leaving her a message and having it sent to her room so she knew the contract was ready. All he could do now was wait to hear from her.
    He was not a patient man and he wished he had kept her with him instead. It was a full three hours after the message was sent before she responded. Maybe she was playing hard to get or maybe she was resting and had been tired. Regardless of what had delayed her, she was awake now and he was more than ready for her.
    “Cindy? Is it you?”
    “Yes, I just woke up and saw the message light blinking. Is the contract ready so soon?”
    “No, my people are efficient, but even they need more time. I just wanted to see you. Can we meet at the restaurant we met at earlier?”
    “Yes, of course. I’ll get ready and meet you there in an hour. Will that be okay?”
    “Yes, I’ll be waiting for you.”
    Alex needed to see her. He’d just met her, but already she felt important to him. They had talked so much that he felt like he knew her. That was crazy, but it was the way he felt. Now he went to the restaurant way too early just to sit around and wait for her. When it came to women, he was never impatient and nervous like this. She was different and he had to discover why.
    Sitting at the table where he’d first met her, he was sipping a mixed drink when she arrived. Joy shot through him and his heart leapt. Was this love at first sight? Was he really considering love when he barely believed it existed? Cindy smiled at him and it gave him a warm feeling inside. He stood up to help her into her chair. Once she was seated, he moved back to his own seat and sat down.
    “I hope you don’t mind that I already ordered for both of us?”
    “I’m sure it will be fine.” Cindy replied.
    “I have a feeling you will like it.” He said with a smile. It was odd to feel so needy for a female, but she was beautiful and just seeing her made him feel better.
    The food came and he’d ordered Italian. Fettucine Alfredo was what he’d ordered for the both of them and as soon as she saw it and her eyes lit up; he knew he’d chosen right. Once the meal was over she showed signs of wanting to leave. He stalled, but she pushed and he had to let her go.
    He felt a sense of loss as he watched her walk away. Alex hadn’t known her long, but he wanted to keep her at his side.

 
    Chapter 3
    Searching
     
    As soon as Cyn got back to her room, she changed into her usual type of clothing. Standing out wouldn’t be helpful right now as she and Bear searched for a lab that had been hidden for nearly twenty years. The thing that would help them was it could only be hidden in a few places. The higher levels had no dark unused areas. The lowest level was the most likely place, but the tail of the station could also hide prisoners.
    Thinking about the male she’d just met, it was hard to believe he would be part of this. Cyn had been fooled before, but she’d been young and untried by life back then. Life had taught her many things and she was more suspicious of others now. Why did this man make her want to believe in him? It made no sense.
    Bear had gone to the lowest level of the ship while she was headed to the odd tail area. The information she’d researched about the station said this was where the garbage and waste water went. There was still space unaccounted for and she would see what it was being used for.
    The smell hit her sensitive nose as soon as she hit the narrow space in the hall that indicated she had reached the entry to the tail section. There was the stench of unwashed bodies that rose above the usual garbage and the waste water was normally contained in pipes and shouldn’t be detectable at all.
    Cyn was cautious, she disabled a camera causing it to loop so it wouldn’t show her presence and the motion detector had to be
