When he came back to the Outpost the first thing he heard was that Cassidy, the Caravan merchant stuck in there like so many others had upped and left. Apparently she had followed a guy who had been doing some work for Crimson Caravans, maybe an old acquaintance, maybe even an old lover. He was listening half-heartedly to the conversation of two female soldiers passing him buy until their last words made him freeze, each word feeling like a punch in the stomach. “He must be her lover, such a tall, blonde, handsome guy! Such a sexy voice too... god, I could scratch her eyes out for picking this one up.” He kept telling himself that there had to be more blonde, tall handsome men with a sexy voice in the Mojave desert, but when he entered his office and took up his post, someone yelled from around a corner: “Hey Knight, your cousin’s been asking for you! He seemed really upset you weren’t here! Well, maybe next time!”
Slowly sorting through a stack of paperwork with trembling hands, Major Knight wondered if someone was pulling a nasty prank on him.
