teenager for killing one of their competitors. It didn’t help matters that his reunion with his brother consisted of Renu kidnapping and torturing him last year before Shamira and her team destroyed Monev’s holdings.
    “Cadet Nobels, before we start, give me your wrists. I need to inspect them for any recording devices.” Dax held out his hand.
    Shamira pushed back slightly in her seat. Resting her elbows on the table she lifted her hands up for inspection. “If you don’t mind, I don’t like anyone touching me.” Her stare was unwavering. “It’s a side effect of my former blindness.”
    “Humph. You didn’t seem to have a problem with Cadet Valens touching you.” His cold blue eyes studied her. “For a seventeen-year-old trainee, you sure act like you’ve got a right to call the shots.” His finger jabbed the table, “Not here, and not during my interrogation. Here, I ask the questions and give the demands. This is procedure. If you don’t do it, I’ll note it in your file. ”
    “Then note it, but you’re not touching me.” She put her hands on the table and folded them.
    He glared at her quietly and pushed the flashpad aside. “What was the last conversation you had with Security Force Elite Leader, Cal, prior to leaving for your final training session?”
    She moved her index finger on the table. “He was in a good mood, you know, like always. He’d joked about the surprise he had for our last day of training. He mentioned how proud he was of me and how far the team had come in their training. Then he said he had to check out the landmines at Olympus Mons to make sure that they were still dormant.”
    “You didn’t think that comment strange? Having to check out landmines for activity?”
    “No, I trusted Elite Officer Cal to be honest about his purpose for our trip.” Although, she admitted to herself that she’d wondered at his strange reasons for wanting to check out his brother’s sadistic haunts. She’d known from experience not to press Cal further. He’d made it clear he was her boss and if it was anything he thought she should know, he’d tell her. His main rule was not to question him—ever. Because, she’d desired to be a Security Elite Officer her entire life, she complied with his request.
    “After you got to the Mons, what happened?”
    Shamira told him how they were attacked. That Kurt took off after a possible attacker and Cal appeared to be following him to either assist him or bring him back in to safety.
    “Did you think it was odd that no Senior Elite Officer besides Elite Officer Cal, accompanied you on your final training session?”
    “No. Since everyone is busy with their duties in addition to the rebuilding of Mar’s infrastructure after the cleanup of Monev, no one had paired up when training the team.”
    The earlink on Dax’s ear beeped. The small computerized phone fit snugly in his ear and would have remained unnoticed if not for the faint blue light that flickered from within his ear cavity. He gave her a look that said, don’t move, and waved a finger over the device. “Elite Officer Dax here.” He paused, apparently irritated. “I’ll be right there. I’m just finishing up. I’ll take the cadet named Anthony next.”
    Shamira made a silent prayer that she wouldn’t have to be questioned by Dax again, and felt sorry for Anthony who’d suffer the fate next. He pretty much felt the same as she did toward the man.
    He ended his call and turned his steely gaze on her. “This session is over. For now. But let me make this clear. Real clear. I don’t see why they would select you and your subpar team to lead up any division of the Mars Security Force Elite. None of you have been trained with the rigors equaling the current Security Force Elite. My opinion, your team and Cal’s carelessness is the reason our Leader is dead today. You don’t have what it takes to lead them, and you and your pretty boy spend too much time smashing faces. I’m
