"I figured you'd say that." Hades said, and she could almost hear the small, relieved smile on his face. "You have been gone for a couple of hours, longer than usual. The kids are already muttering about a manhunt for you. Heck, I am about to lead the manhunt personally."
"I miss you too," she whispered. "Is there anything else I should know? Did you catch the smugglers? Give me some good news along with the bad at least."
"We did," Hades' voice turned back to stone. "Howard Shaw was the ringleader. He was using his status as Sheldon's nephew to move illegal goods right under our noses."
Sunshine's eyes narrowed. "Hades, do not wait for me. Throw him off the base tonight. He leaves with absolutely nothing that belongs to our base. No heat suit, no exo suit, no special vehicle. And if anyone tries to help him, they go with him. We have to show them that some crimes don't get a second chance."
