perhaps that was in order to make it harder to rob from the Junkyard, but Taye had said that most likely it was because the guys who set stuff up in there were smoking something at the time.
    Taking a seat against the fencing, Georgianna reorganised her bag to get ready for the new supplies. While Taye had said he’d be right back, it wasn’t odd for him to take at least twenty minutes. Not only did Taye have to find his way through the maze of stacks, but also select the right supplies. Thankfully, these days, Taye knew exactly what she needed, so it didn’t take nearly as long as it did the first few times she had come down to stock up.
    When Taye returned, Georgianna had reorganised her bag twice and begun scrubbing the blood from her shirt with a bar of wrapped soap. She looked up from her position on the floor, hands covered in a thin lather of pink-stained foam, and grinned at Taye’s laden arms.
    “I grabbed you a bag of those Adveni drugs you liked last time,” he told her quietly, lowering himself onto the ground next to her as Georgianna unscrewed the lid of her cantina and poured some water over her hands and the shirt to wash off the suds.
    “Where do you get those?” Georgianna asked.
    Taye smirked devilishly, taking Georgianna’s bag and beginning to slot the supplies into it.
    “I have my sources.”
    Georgianna laughed lightly and shook her head. Trust a Carae to keep his secrets. Don’t reveal your sources, or something along those lines. It was like the Carae wrote the rule book on dirty dealings.
    “I got a deal for you.” he announced finally, holding up the last paper packet and waving it teasingly.
    Turning away from the shirt, her fingers tangled in it as she wrung the water out onto the floor beside her legs, Georgianna raised an eyebrow. From the name scrawled across the packet, Georgianna knew it was the one holding the Adveni drugs.
    “I can pay for them, Taye.”
    “You will,” he answered. “Just not in coin.”
    Georgianna didn’t like the sound of that. She dealt in coin with the Carae because their deals were often things you really didn’t want to get involved in. She’d known Taye a long time. He was Kahle, and they’d travelled together since they were kids, but he’d joined up with the Carae and she knew there were things they asked you to do that most people wouldn’t agree with.
    “I dunno, Taye…”
    “Oh, come on, Gianna. For me, please? It’s… It’s not your kind of illegal!”
    The desperation in his voice and the use of the nickname her family used for her almost immediately thawed her. Since Taye had joined the Carae, he had kept his distance most of the time, having explained once that he didn’t want everyone in the Carae knowing that they were close. Apparently, being close to someone meant you held things over them, things that could be used for Carae purposes, and Taye didn’t want that for Georgianna.
    Everyone had an opinion on the Carae, even people who’d never dealt with them. Her own father had commented on them from time to time, grumbling about them being a band of criminals. He said that if they had been in a tribe, they would have been outcast for their actions. Coming from every tribe and background, often when they had no other way to make money, the Carae had formed their own tribe, like the Belsa. Only, unlike the Belsa, the Carae seemed more interested in money than freedom, and were therefore looked on slightly less favourably by Veniche, and more favourably by Adveni.
    However, as he claimed it wasn’t “her type of illegal”, she knew it was illegal by most standards, most importantly, Adveni. Georgianna did quite a lot of things that were, by Adveni standards, illegal, though she didn’t find them morally wrong.
    “What is it?” she asked finally.
    “Just a delivery.”
    “Of?”
    “It’s… It’s for Nyah,”
    Georgianna let out a groan and shifted her body, looking away from him.
    “Taye, they search me!” she
