for the Cerberus team.
“He was found guilty of treason and shot. We
couldn’t have a man like that running around the world.”
I was mildly offended by that statement; I am
a lot more dangerous than that idiot was ever going to be. On the
other hand, I still preferred life on the Cerberus to being
dead. The food was better, for one thing.
“Why didn’t you bring him here?” I asked,
“You accepted me.”
“You are both sharks, it’s true, but you are my shark. You have your uses, but I’ll be keeping you on a
tight leash. Try to escape again and you will be joining him. Now
get out.”
Chef made my favorite soup that night, and I
had three bowls with extra croutons. That helped settle the
seething anger in my soul as I thought of a new way to escape. I
had no doubt that Dark Fire was watching me, and I knew that
he wouldn’t hesitate to take me out if I set a foot wrong. I
decided to stay, at least for now. There are still ways for me to
amuse myself here, and life isn’t all bad.
And it’s better to be a Pet Shark than
a dead one.
Next time
