Chapter 29

A creature entered the suite hall. He had a long, wrinkly snout and skin the color of manure. He grunted as he plodded through the hall.

"If you make me cover one more shift, Eloan, you're dead," he muttered threats.

"Ooh, Anneas is extra grumpy today," Anya remarked.

Hunley crept up to the suite door. His tall neck enabled him a better view. Anneas stopped a few inches in front of the passcode screen. He typed in a combination. Hunley strained to read it.

"He's typing in the passcode," Hunley whispered.

In a fraction of a second, the code appeared on-screen, so a fraction of a second was all Hunley had to interpret meaning.

"N377A," he muttered.

The door to the suite across the hall hissed open.

"Great," Brade said. "So what do we do now?"

Anneas dragged a wailing young with violet skin across the cold hall floor.

"Please let me go!" A squeaky voice begged.

Hunley's hearts thumped in unison. He tapped the door and released a puff of breath.
