“That’s the difference between dictators and elected officials.” Isabella pointed out as she glanced back at the Imperium soldiers. “That and well the President encourages this kind of behavior. You know the Alliance military wasn’t giving him high fives until he started it. It’s good for him though.”

"And them... who would you rather serve with? Someone who actually gives a shit or someone who you serve out of fear?" Eli said and laughed. "You know I was so nervous when I first took this job, now look at us, we're practically adopted into the family. I always knew you'd do well, but still.."

“But still what?” Isabella inquired with a raised eyebrow. “Don’t tell me you’re still waiting for one of us to get fired. The president couldn’t find his socks without me and this meeting thing. Who do you think did the prep work? But I know what you mean. I don’t think either of us ever expected it to last.”

"Right, I mean I never thought you'd love it as much as you do. I ALSO never expected that I would be your boyfriend..." Eli whispered. "I was that jerk cop that found you napping on a catwalk and you pulled a knife on me." he winked. "It's just funny how things work out."

“You liked it.” Isabella said with a grin as she watched the Imperium soldiers. They all seemed to be on edge even though Julie wasn’t present and it made her feel bad for them. She couldn’t imagine having to live every minute of the day wondering if you were going to die or be used in some twisted fashion. Isabella couldn’t help but wonder if maybe their unease wasn’t all related to Julie. She saw some of them glancing over at the Alliance soldiers and she wondered if maybe they were considering jumping ship.
Without giving it much thought Isabella walked towards the Imperium soldiers. She wasn’t even sure why she did it the act just seemed right.
“Hello,” She said with a smile even though she wasn’t really expecting a warm welcome.

One of them simply nodded to her. Another cocked his head and said in a very southern drawl "Ma'am."

Another was a bit nervous and gave the other two a look. "She's the Alliance President's right hand... you wanna die?"

Eli chuckled, he had to admit, for a surly, sometimes foul mouthed young woman, Isabella was capable of being extremely friendly and welcoming. "Hey unless you do something stupid, we got entirely no beef with any of you. At least at the moment."

"That red real or from a box?" One of them said with a chuckle. "My meemaw lied to me my entire life, always thought she was as red as my pappy, but she was jet black under it." he ran a hand through his own ginger locks and shrugged his shoulders. "Ya'll are a lot different than I expected. From what we were told President Ryder was either this bumbling boob or a tyrant that set people on fire that got him mad."

“It’s real and the President doesn’t set people on fire. He’s also not a tyrant.” She told them still smiling. “Trust me I’m probably the last fucking honest person in the galaxy. I tell it straight.”

"That's some mouth on ya." the southern officer said with a laugh. "Well that's good t'know. I mean, our homes are on Earth, our lives, our whole history is there. Imperium... well... " he leaned in and whispered. "It sucks but nothin' us guys can do 'bout it. Only reason we're here is 'cause the Empress wanted people who didn't have negatives in their records. We don't rock the boat, we just let it sail and do what we can to at least keep things the way they used t'be."

"Yah, we make waves, we get our fookin' heads taken and that's happened!" another said, opening up slightly. "Things are a little better since Tiberius' been gone, but y'know... what'll ya do? At least the alien slavery stuff that Tiberius instituted has sorta lessened, course it's weird seein' people on leashes like animals. But at least they're clothed now. I saw way way too many multi-colored asses."

"GUYS!" the more nervous of the two said and made hand gestures. "What if she hears you?!"

"Re-freakin'-lax man... you got too much stress. These are the Alliance President's aides, you think the Empress is gonna screw with them and not risk a war?" the officer said and looked at Eli. "So ah... what you make anyway?"

"More than I did when I was a grunt guard." Eli cocked his head. "Course, I'm guarding the President so... makes sense that I make a few bucks more."

"We get credits, but it's like... everything's gotten real expensive, sure we got 'enough' quote unquote but not much else, want real meat, gotta pay for that. Stuff like that. Only thing that keeps us at least somewhat comfortable is the fact that we're Terran. Non Terrans well, they pay for everything out of whatever slave wages they get. Or they get shipped off world. Hasn't made us friends."

"I'll say." Eli nodded his head.

"So hey uhm... Isabella is it? If we did y'know... be friendly with ya'll... think maybe we could I dunno... meet up later? My unit is always asking me about the Alliance, nothing classified but just... truths and lies... "

“What the hell,” Isabella said with a grin and pulled a business card out from practically thin air. “Just give me a call.”

"Thank ya very much ma'am..." he said politely as he took the card and stowed it carefully in his pocket. "Doubt we'll ever get the opportunity to talk once this peace talk business is over."

"And hey we both watch out for each other here. I'm sure there are people that aren't too happy this is taking place, either those that want to see the war continue or blame both sides for this or... just have a grudge." Eli said as he nodded his head. "War and peace are sometimes up to the 'little guys' like us."

"Who knows maybe this will all be over soon and we wont have to worry about whether you can call me or not." Isabella said with a soft smile.

"Are you all kidding me?" Julie said as she walked out and had her hands on her hips as she looked at her guards and at Isabella and Eli. "You are supposed to be watching and guarding and you're just standing around yakking?!" she pointed to her officers and shook her head. "The leaders of two of the major powers in the galaxy are meeting and you're chit chatting?" then she looked at Eli and Bella. "And aren't you two supposed to be watching your President?"

"Did I say that?" Julie countered back and narrowed her eyes at Isabella. "Take it from someone who HAS been on guard duty, you don't chit chat while on watch. You're watching, observing." she took a deep breath. "Look... I can see you spend a lot of time with Nicholas, you're already taking on some of his traits. You wanted to be friendly, that's wonderful... but in the proper time and place."

Julie glanced at the guards who looked like they were nervous for their lives. "I am NOT going to kill you guys... seriously!" she threw her hands up. "If I wanted to do that, you'd be dead already. So relax... no strike that, don't relax, be tense, be on guard. That's what we're paying you to do."

The desire to punch Julie in the face was growing. Isabella didn’t need Julie to tell her how to do her job. She was a secretary who happened to be able to kill someone with her bare hands, had heightened sense, and pretty good agility. The fact that she could protect the President was just an added bonus for him.

She was about to educate Julie on that fact when something in the distance caught her eye. It was a flash like light reflecting off of something but she couldn’t quite make it out.

“I’m just a secretary.” Isabella said absently as she stared off into the distance.
