6-344: Merchant Freighter Spanial
Jennie, “So, just to be clear, we’re doing a job of picking up cargo from different independent agriculture researchers and bringing it back here. We’ll be employed by the Trade Bureau, but really working for this Zayaire person…or the Agriculture Bureau? I’m not clear on that.
“And you think he’s using funding his sex dungeon, or whatever it is, using this money from this scheme?”
Jennie is frowning, Gregar is looking intently at Lia, and Prrri’s ears are flat.
“It sounds like Zayaire is using his connection at the Trade Bureau to circumvent his going through Resources. If he had to clear it with them, it would get flagged officially and he wouldn’t be able to get creative with the money made off the trade. By sliding it under the radar, his hands are clean and if anyone comes looking, Agriculture looks squeaky clean. It’s a smart play.”
Her expression darkens.
“But if that money is being used to pull girls out of the gutter to be his living sex toys before being thrown back where they came from, often with a bun in the oven and no Daddy to claim them…”
She sighs.
“I plan to call Adler today to get whatever proof she has on him. I have a nasty feeling he might not be the only in on this. It feels too big to be for only one guy.”
