Bounty Hunters - 003
Added 2022-10-23 07:05:49 +0000 UTCTapani moved his communicator over Emilia's right shoulder, and the device made old fashion system sound like a notification. Crewmembers in the officer's mess were confused and ignored how Emilia turned her back to them and lowered her face to the deck. She knew that this moment would come one day but didn't expect this to happen so soon and this way. No matter how much she had talked with Tapani or how much she had prepared for this, it felt humiliating. This felt the same, like she was standing on the auction block being presented by the seller.
Roman, Matias, and Siiri stared at the phone. Although Siiri had always suspected something stranger in Emilia, she didn't realize this was her secret. This also answered a few questions that Siiri was wondering. She always felt stranger that a girl like Emilia had a banking chip embedded in her wrist, but this explained a lot. Most likely, Tapani had altered information on both chips, and one chip hid another chip.
If Siiri had her thoughts on Emilia and strange things in her story, Roman would be more confused about seeing Tapani as a slave owner. He had his thing with one southern slave girl, but Roman knew he had never owned a slave. Everybody knew his opinion about slavery, and most likely, there was a reason why he had not arranged a manumission for Emilia.
"So, things are like this," Tapani started.
