Wanai saw the message from Eric. 'They certainly don't make deals they'll lose money on,' he thought.
He hadn't wanted to agree. They had their own people in Zone 19; he just needed to hand the person over, and the money would be his.
Wanai gazed at the photo of the Mimic Mixed Species on his terminal screen, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic-sealed bag.
He glanced at the contents of the bag. 'This was probably worn by that little Mixed Breed,' he mused, before opening a nearby drawer and tossing it inside.
He then swiped his finger across the terminal's screen, pulling up the file on the atavistic Mixed Breed.
An atavistic Mixed Breed, a Dwarf hybrid, and a Mimic Mixed Species, all living together.
And that Mimic Mixed Species worked at a construction site every day, yet had taken on a female appearance.
Interesting.
