“You know, don’t you?” Adan’s voice was behind her as she took the pilot’s seat in the cockpit. 

“Of course she knows,” Kr’zani said with barely controlled derision. 

Adan chuckled. “I do admire your faith, Kr’zani, but not even Shera knows everything.” 

Shera hummed noncommittally as she ran through the computer databanks to see on which planets in the system Idvarian plasma would become a liquid. “At least I spend my free time learning rather than attending every upscale party in the galaxy.” 

The Pipe Predicament Chapter 4: A Battle of Wits and Wills

Today, you can read the final chapter of this story that I originally penned two years ago! I’ve tweaked it a bit and I’m so excited to continue working with these characters after this introductory story.

The awesome thing about posting on Simily is that I get stats about exactly how many people are reading each chapter. So thank you, each and every one of you who has clicked the link and supported me by reading this story! I see every view and it means so much to me.

In case you haven’t seen my earlier posts, I now post most of my stories on Simily because I get paid for every view! That means that all you have to do to support me is just read.

Thanks for reading!
-E.J.
