Jin looked over with interest.“I don’t think I’ve ever seen security actually do their jobs.”
“You’re about to get an up close and personal view if you haven’t finished what you said you would,” Raider growled, his eyes on the customs agent waving them forward.
“We’re out of time, Jin,” Kira warned.
“Just a few more seconds.”
Kira signaled Raider with her eyes.Stall.
He widened his eyes before giving in with a muttered curse.He stalked up to the agent’s station while Kira stayed behind with Jin.
“Hovering won’t make me work faster,” Jin sang.
“What about strangling?Will that help?”
“Someone is stressed.Why don’t you do us all a favor and answer that summons?”
Kira kept her eyes trained on Raider, not looking at the agent trying to wave her down.“There’s a reason I’m ignoring that person.”
She was trying to buy him time.You would think he’d be a little grateful.
“Well, stop it.It’s distracting me.”Jin shoved Kira in the agent’s direction.“Off you go.”
Kira stumbled over to the agent with an awkward smile.“How’s it going?”
Small talk.Ugh.The bane of her existence.
“Documents?”
Kira tried again.“It’s been a while since I was last here.When did Titan get a customs?”
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Raider finish his processing.He glanced at her once before being moved reluctantly into the station.
“Next!”his agent called.
Kira looked back at Jin to find him still intent on his scroll.
Come on.Come on.
“Is there a problem?”her agent asked.
“What?”Kira faced forward.“No.No problem.”
“Are you sure?”
“Just making sure everyone is doing what they’re supposed to.”
Jin strode toward the customs agent.He flashed his scroll at the man, gesturing toward the rest of the Tuann as he talked quickly.
“In that case, Doc.U.Ments,” Kira’s agent enunciated carefully.
“Right.”
With a tight smile, Kira swiped the ID chip that contained her fake identity over the scanner.
For all her worries, the agent barely glanced at the screen carrying her information.
To her right, Jin was still explaining something and pointing to his scroll.
