Jolene becomes apprentice healer at Brothers, a slave rescue agency. But, she's not who she seems. Zhea~ Year 7835 16pp. PG-13 Short Story. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.At night, the darkness of the place made me shudder. I looked at my watch and thumbed the light on it. 10:21. Didn’t want to go in early, but the last bus—I heard screams from the Healers’ Building. Walked down the sidewalk towards it. Then sneaked to a tree. Peeked from behind it.No curtains on the huge windows. I watched an Elshar beat up a Zheien. It made me sick, but I recorded all of it. My pocket terminal, a silvery coin, floated up by the window and stuck to it. I stood there quietly until my watch said 10:50. With a look around, I got onto the sidewalk and went onto the porch as if just arriving. Rang the doorbell.It took a long time for anyone to come. The door jerked open. A short, overweight man wearing a white robe motioned me in. Dark blue eyes, almost black. He looked past me. “Where your friends? ‘Spected three.” He staggered. Had a big bruise on his cheek.“I don’t know the other two. Ms. Kelly—““Ms. Kelly. Pah, Ms. Kelly. She expects the impossible. Welcome to Ilhanhsa, Bucky. Come with me. Haven’t got time to train you right now. Go in Room 4 and start taking men outa stasis. Take people that look like you to Room 1. Zheien to Rooms 2 and 3. Tell ‘em to lie down and sleep. Be rude; slavers train ‘em to respond to rudeness.” He staggered down the hall. Didn’t close the door, so I did. “White robes are on the hook.”“Where is Room 4?” I saw signs above 1-3.He pointed into the large room by the door, which must have been the living room. All open. I stepped in and didn’t see stasis boxes. Brown carpet and—off the room in what used to be the kitchen was a silver box. A sign with instructions hung on the wall by stained white terry bathrobes. I slipped one on over my jeans and T-shirt. SLAP THE TOP OF THE BOX TO BREAK THE SEAL, THEN STAND AWAY. WHEN IT OPENS, TAKE SLAVES OUT. QUICKSTASIS THAWS WITHIN 5 MINS.I’d been taught that stasis takes hours to reverse, or people can die. I slapped the box. Stood back. The lid blew open and wavered several times before resting against the counter.A Zheien stared up at me. Below him, I counted five heads. These men were partially thawed already. I reached a hand, and he clenched his jaw before reaching up. His twin-fingered hand had so many skint places, it was sticky with orange blood. Carefully, I moved my hand up his arm to his wrist and pulled as he got up. “Eae soe ya—“ He grimaced and bit his lip. A Zheien apology.“You can apologize to your buddy, I don’t mind.”The man clung to me as I helped him stand up. “Put a mer!” Elshar.“I won’t punish you. Come with me—““Pa me ter!” He cowered and nearly fell.I gently led him to Room 2. There weren’t enough of the thin mats. No blankets. Every mat was filled, and some Zheien laid on the wooden floor, which had dust bunnies clinging to the sides of the blue mats. The man scrambled to an empty space and laid down. Most of them looked up at me in terror.I smiled. “Hello. I’m a new healer apprentice—“A knock at the door startled me. Not the doorbell?Asha didn’t answer it, so I did. A man quickly put out a cigarette. Smelled more like marijuana. “I’m here for my delivery. Get Asha. He knows.”I went past Room 1 where one of the Elshars shoved another down. Room 2, where the Zheien all sat up to watch me go by. Room 3, where two Zheien held a bleeding one. Down the hall, Asha had a Zheien in the bathtub, and his hand was lower on him before he saw me. “What do you want?”
