The thug trembled, scared out of his wits. "I... I don't know, miss... we just take odd jobs. Someone pays us, we do the work. We really don't know who sent us."

Seeing this, Rosalind lifted her leg and stomped her black boot on the man's hand.

The man instantly curled into a ball of pain, slapping the ground with his free hand. "Yes! We... we take illicit contracts!"

Only then did Rosalind remove her foot. She looked at the man, pale with fear. "Looks like you're the leader. So tell me, what were the terms of the contract?"

"To... to make you leave Sol, by any means necessary," the man said, clutching his aching hand, all thoughts of resistance gone. "Maybe you should, uh, try to remember if you have any enemies."

Rosalind nonchalantly released her grip. "Too many to remember."

Warner stepped closer and smoothed back a stray strand of her long hair that had been mussed during the fight. His voice was husky. "Do you need David to look into it for you?"
