after we get Sophie.”
    Wherever they were, it didn’t indicate what floor they were on. When the doors opened up, it simply led to a small foyer adorned in red. The walls were soft, covered in some sort of velvet. “So he has a separate place he keeps his slaves?”
    “ Slave . Just one,” D’Anil corrected.
    Jayne looked at him sardonically as they got to the door. “I know I’m not supposed to ask questions, but you seem to want to defend this guy pretty quickly.”
    D’Anil shrugged, twisting the knob and pulling. “Guess I’m used to it. It’s what he hires me for.”
    His job was still a mystery to her. Jayne didn’t see how security detail for slaves could help whoever this politician was, besides the fact that he purchased them. What else did D’Anil do for him? Was he simply a devoted bodyguard? If so, what were the “bigger” jobs that he was missing out on? She wanted to ask, but she couldn’t. And with the door open, Jayne had something else to take care of.
    “Sophie?” she called out. D’Anil stood behind her keeping the door open with one foot while his hands moved along the walls to find a light. “Sophie, it’s me, Jayne!”
    Finally, he did find a light. With their surroundings no longer bathed in darkness, Jayne was able to see everything. It was a small apartment, and an expensive-looking one at that.
    The walls were all soft to the touch as well, covered in the same red velvet as the room outside. To the left, there was a small kitchenette, and she could see a platter of sweets sitting on the counter. Her eyes searched frantically over the fancy furniture, trying to find a flash of orange from Sophie’s hair. Everything here suggested that she must have been comfortable in the past month, but she didn’t trust it. Not when her friend was missing.
    “Jayne?” a small voice asked.
    She followed the noise to an open doorway, and Jayne could see a bed behind her. But there was Sophie, hanging in the doorway. She was completely naked, her hands covering her breasts and in between her legs.
    “Sophie,” Jayne breathed. Happy to have her back, Jayne couldn’t help but feel a little shame at the fact that this young girl was definitely used in a way that Jayne hadn’t been for the past month. She didn’t care how obvious it was, scanning the girl’s arms and legs and torso for any bruising, but she found none. There was only one thing different about her. “Your hair…”
    Jayne moved forward, Sophie backing away slightly, cowering into the darkness of her bedroom. “He… Had me dye it,” she whispered. Jayne frowned, her fingers brushing over the ends of her hair, now a bleach blonde.
    “I’m so sorry, Sophie…” she murmured. She hugged the girl tightly, pulling away with tears brimming in her eyes. “Get dressed. We’re leaving.”
    It was the first time Sophie noticed D’Anil, and her blush deepened at her lack of clothing. “But… I… He told… Told me I wasn’t allowed to leave the bed… He’s going to get so mad if he realizes-“
    “Jayne, we have to get going,” D’Anil interrupted, avoiding making eye contact with the naked girl, focusing on the green of Jayne’s eyes instead when she turned back to look at him, “Amara can only keep the door open for so long.”
    “Amara’s working with him,” Sophie whimpered, “You see? He’ll know !”
    “I don’t care if he knows; he’s never going to see you again; do you understand?” Jayne pushed Amara forward into the bedroom. “Seriously, get dressed. We have to go .”
    But Sophie showed a moment of stubbornness. “I saw what they did to Meta. I saw it in the newspapers-“
    “That’s not going to happen to us,” she explained, interrupting her. Jayne motioned back to D’Anil. “We have him to help us. D’Anil will take us back through the desert, to the military base, and then we’re going home .”
    Her voice dropped, her eyes pleading. She knew D’Anil would not wait much longer,
