Elsmere continued, ignoring Nathan’s discomfort.
    The middle robed figure’s hands slid out, performing the same act as Lura had a moment earlier. The jeweled veil was removed, though lacking the same delicate manner in which the older woman had mastered. The veil unhooked and the hood was slid back in the same manner. The younger woman named Ira appeared to be almost identical to Lura, though far younger in age and features. Nathan turned away as the younger girl untied her robe, the same black bikini covering less ample features, fell to the floor behind her.
    “And finally, my third mate Zulanna,” he bellowed.
    It was all Agent Calloway could do not to become ill. The third, far shorter figure unveiled and disrobed, though with much finer elegance than Ira had used. The black bikini lay flat against a formless body as the tiny robe crumbled to the tiled floor. Nathan tried to face forward, but the tiny girl’s practiced smile kept driving his gaze to anywhere but forward.
    MA Joseph had not flinched during the presentation, his eyes slowly watching over each move of the display before him. After the final girl had disrobed, he returned his attention to Lord Elsmere. Calloway gave his companion a glance, searching for some sign that the Cyber was, at least, a tenth as uncomfortable as he was at the moment.
    Searching: Common Law: Earth, present status………
    “Are they not precious?” Lord Elsmere asked, his hungry eyes staring over each of the young women in turn. “My garden of flowers, if you will.”
    Agent Calloway closed his eyes as every horrid memory of each twisted planet demanded his full attention. It wasn’t uncommon to see such things this far from Earth. In his younger days, he’d tried fruitlessly to bring such sickened beast to justice, only to find that his superiors would never back his actions. Eight years ago, he’d found himself on the wrong end of a four-month suspension as he tried to drag a member of the Hierarchy to prison for his lust for small boys. The Council made a quick decision, making a clear point that Nathan was only to investigate the matters that they had ordered him. The laws of Earth seemed to disappear with each passing Gabriel Ring.
    “Lord Elsmere,” Calloway stated, his eyes looking straight to the man. “Perhaps we should discuss the crime at hand now?”
    The smile faded from the man’s face, his outstretched hand slowly falling to his side. His brows furrowed, his eyes squinted as he looked from one investigator to the next. Each of the girls sensed his displeasure, dropping their gaze to the floor.
    “You do not like my flowers?” he asked judgment in his voice. “You come to my home and disgrace my mates before my very eyes? You are a man, are you not? The women are lovely, and their bodies are almost as exquisite as their attire. Tell me, Agent Calloway, why the judgmental eyes?”
    “Oh man,” Nathan muttered, trying to look anywhere but towards the mostly naked, underage girls before him. “Just a difference in upbringing Lord Elsmere, no judgment here.”
    The light haired lord allowed the smile to form, showing the cards he played. The grim man knew that the site of the disrobed girls would bring the investigator to an uncomfortable state, thus giving him the advantage over the ordeal. True, he had no need for the upper hand, but it was a practice he seldom broke from.

    “No person shall be forced into servitude, nor slavery, under the practices of Common Law. The buying, selling, or owning of any persons deemed, by definition of the law, to be a slave, is forbidden,” MA Joseph repeated as the file loaded to his memory.
    The plain haired MA looked at the girls, one by one. Lord Elsmere fixed on the Cyber’s eyes, watching the white and pupil wave away to a mirror finish. The mirrored eyes continued to scan the girls for several seconds, as he also did the entire room before they returned to their
