ok, that last chapter was Crap, sheer and utter crap. I apologize so so much. I think I might re do it later, but now I think im just going to keep going.

"Harper there's nothing here." Beka was sitting on the floor in the machine shop with Harper going through the dirt on the "New crew mates".

"Sure there is boss. Look here, Anjel Domascus is wanted for the Tarmac drift massacre. And here Anjel Mackion is wanted for war crimes against the Ogomi." Harper tossed the disks towards beka to get a look. Beka picked one up and checked out the hologram. Not the best picture of Anjel, but it was unmistakably Anjel Ragnor/Anasazi/ whatever her real name really was. Beka checked the details of the plexi; Wanted for slaughtering 137 Nietzschean and human civilians.

Beka laughed at that, "No nietzschean is a civilian."

Harper giggled too, "Yeah these might be tainted a little."

Beka, who had enough of seeing a bloody, bruised sneering Anjel glare up at her from the plexis tossed them aside. "So whatcha got on him?"

"More or less the same; War crimes, smuggling, Hijacking, the works."

Beka crooked her eyebrow, "And why haven't we heard of these 2 before?

"Um, it's a big universe, plus I bet Tyr covered their asses pretty well, there's probably tons of stuff that was erased or dealt with by Tyr."

"Fixing his baby boy's messes, aw Tyr, I never though you to be so loving." Beka sneered, then stopped because it reminded her of the hologram of Anjel.

Tammers had basically picked Anjel up and ran to the Dovolo. Ok that was an exaggeration, but that's basically what it felt like to Anjel. A walk that should have taken 10 minutes took about a minute, jesus.

He pushed her against the wall as soon as the loading ramp was up. He growled and kissed the line of her neck, causing her to shiver. Damn he knew how to do it.

"So how did the Kala thing go?" Anjel asked while her mate still explored her collar bone, damn, it must have gone really well.

"Bad, she knows. But she paid us and we're done."

Anjel lurched forward, "She knows?! What do you mean she knows, she knows what?"

Tammers forced her back against the wall, pressing the line of his body against her, "She knows you're the beacon."

Something had popped in Anjel's back from the force of Tamerlane. "Baby stop, your hurting me!" She cried out before the pain was too unbearable.

Tamerlane immediately stepped back and caught Anjel where she fell. He had gone from horney to concerned in half a second. "Baby are you ok?" he asked as he held her close.

Anjel choked as the waves of pain hit her. "Yeah I'm ok, my back. It really hurts."

Tamerlane picked her up and carried her back to their bedroom. The pain was already receding and Anjel's vision cleared. Tammers pulled back the covers and placed her inside before walking around to his side of the bed. He removed his clothing before climbing under the covers as well.

Anjel was thoroughly confused. "Tam, what are you doing?"

He scooted closer and pulled her in close, "I can smell you."

More confused, "Huh?"

He smiled, "Your ovulating."

Anjel turned to look at him, "Not for another 2 weeks I'm not."

Tamerlane placed a hand up her shirt to rest on her stomach. "Scent doesn't lie baby."

Great just great. "Alright, let me up."

Tammer's turn to be confused, "Why"

Anjel through the covers back and tossed her knees over the side, "I need to go get an inhibitor, I'll be right back."

"Why do you need an inhibitor?"

"Because now is not the time to have me pregnant."

Tammers got angry, "Why the hell not?"

"Because too much is going to happen in the next few months, and I cant endanger another child like that."

"You aren't even born yet, how could you know what's going to happen?"

"I remember stories, and besides, I don't remember any children older than me aboard. And Tamerlane, I just couldn't handle loosing another one. The first one was hard enough. I don't think my body is in any condition to carry right now."

Tamerlane calmed, he hadn't thought about her physical condition. "Your right," he sighed, "you aren't in the condition for it, and sex would probably hurt you more anyway."

Without another word, he got out of bed, put his clothes back on, and left the Dovolo.

Dylan was locked in his office doing some much needed Go playing. He didn't really have anyone to play with because Beka thought it was the most boring thing, besides watching Harper clean his tools. He placed the little white piece on the second shelf. 8 moves until he won. Wow what an accomplishment, he could beat himself.

The door sounded, "Come in." Dylan called.

The door slid open and Tamerlane walked in. Dylan smiled as Tamerlane bent low in greeting.

Dylan laughed, "I think a salute will do just fine. How can I help you Mr. Anasazi."

Tamerlane corrected him, "Tamerlane please. I want to apologize for my lack of focus earlier today."

Dylan sobered, "Well, I don understand that you were "focused" on other things at the time."

Tammers looked to the ground, "yes I was." He growled.

"Im taking it that it didn't go as you expected."

"Not at all."

Dylan leaned back in his chair, "Have you thought about my offer."

Tamerlane smiled, happy to change the subject, "Yes sir I have. We would be grateful to accompany you on your ship. Whatever we can do we will."

"Well we'll find something for you to do." he leaned over to shake Tamerlane's hand.

"Just one thing sir, and I hope this isn't a problem."

Dylan didn't let go of the young mans hand, "And that is?

"Anjel won't salute you. I don't know why, she won't do it to anyone; I think it's a power complex sir. But still she won't salute you."

Dylan laughed, "Not many people do."

I hope this one is better than the last one.
