“Follow the child,” Florey ordered.

Oliver scowled. “What ch…”

He stopped as he saw her. She was slight of build, not scrawny, so someone cared for her.

“And you’d do well to remember that.” Florey’s voice had all the warning of an approaching storm…or a mother watching over a cub.

He tried to stifle the thought that, if the child was so precious she shouldn’t have been involved in the operation, and failed.

“Do you want to get off the moon, or not?” she asked, her voice sugar sweet. “More importantly, how much do you want to reach your destination alive?”

It was not good business practice to threaten you client, but Oliver understood where she was coming from.

“Whoa, there, Mama Bear. I meant no offense.”

“Then you should be more careful about giving it,” she told him, but her voice was calmer.

The child danced up to him and took his hand, and he caught her scent, almost dragging his hand out of her grip in surprise.

“Cat!” The word was out before he could censor it, and she recoiled, only this time, he gripped her hand and wouldn’t let go.

“Dog!” she spat back, her short, tufty hair bristling.
