vouchers from Sanctuary, please?тАЭ

Indio released the first agent, patted him on his arm, then pulled a coded chip from his belt and handed it
over.
 The woman inserted it into the sofscreen wrapped around her left wrist. Her co-worker stared at the
information scrolling up on the sofscreen. тАЬIt functions as a spacesuit? How?тАЭ

Explaining that would take them forever. Cait raised her arm and pumped it three times to catch her
brother's attention. Kevin looked up and smiled at her. She pointed at the ped-walks. He nodded and
motioned at her to go on ahead.

She took Socorro by the hand. The guys didn't need her here to handle the customs agent. What she
needed to do was get Indio's daughter settled into their hotel room and wait for the others to catch up.
тАЬLet's go.тАЭ

Trade Commission delegation walked past the customs area without their luggage being searched,
drawing a swarm of newsvid reporters waving mikes and vidcams and yelling questions.

Socorro yanked her hand away and tried to see past the reporters. тАЬWhere are we going? Isn't Daddy
coming with us?тАЭ

тАЬI already let Kevin know we're leaving. He'll tell your father and Tiny. We'll meet them at the hotel.тАЭ

тАЬOkay.тАЭ Socorro adjusted the backpack over her shoulder and picked up the pet carrier. The kitten
yowled but the little girl ignored its protests.

The back of Cait's neck tingled. She turned sideways. Two dark featured men lounged beside the
newsstand. Their hostile gazes slid past her to the United Planets delegation. Even though she wasn't the
focus of their attention, they still made her skin crawl.

It was just nerves. She was jumping at shadows.

Cait straightened her shoulders. Her first priority was Socorro's safety and the best way to keep the
child safe was to leave this crowded area as soon as possible.

They made their way over to the ped-walks. She chose the one on the end because it was vacant. She
didn't want anyone to come close enough to touch her or Socorro. They stepped onto it and let it carry
them down a long tiled corridor.

Socorro tugged at her sleeve. тАЬAfter we meet the rest of your family, are you and daddy and Tiny going
to get married?тАЭ

The confused emotions swirling around inside Socorro gnawed at Cait's empathic senses. She hesitated.
Was Socorro's emotional turmoil the real reason behind her uneasy feelings about the crowded terminal?

Cait rubbed the tiny laser scar on her right arm. Socorro wasn't her daughter but the dangers they'd
faced together on the asteroid had forged an emotional link between them. Talking this out should soothe
them both. тАЬAccording to the customs of my people, we're already married.тАЭ

Socorro's shoulders sagged.
