guy had actually helped them or if he was a part of the whole
operation to kidnap Gigi.
His crew had already grown by two, and taking on one more as a
crew member wouldn t hurt them financially. Remy just wasn t sure
if the man could be trusted. Two mates were now onboard, and as
commander and half of a mated pair, Remy had to be very careful and
one-hundred-percent sure before agreeing to hiring the mechanic or
killing him. At this point, he was pretty okay with either choice.
Are you going to interrogate me, hire me, or kill me? Livewire
asked as his thumb stilled. This waiting to find out is havoc on the
nerves.
Remy ignored him as he tried to put the puzzle pieces together. He
had to figure out Livewire s angle before he d agree to anything.
He s blue, Pax stated as he stood by the kitchen door. Blue is
good.
Remy was told about Pax and his mist thing, but he hadn t had the
luxury of time yet to figure out what the hell the man was talking
about. Gigi trusted Pax, and Remy trusted Gigi. So by extension,
could Remy trust Livewire?
Remy pushed away from the wall, rubbing his hand over a two-
day beard growth. I m going to hire you, but one pinky out of place
and you end up in the airlock and dumped into deep space, Remy
said, the warning clear in his voice. Understood?
End of the Line 97
Livewire nodded and started toward the mess hall doors. And on
that note, let me look under Lady Blue s skirt.
Oh, no. Remy chuckled evilly. Your first assignment is in this
room.
Livewire turned and frowned at Remy. It s a mess hall. What
could be wrong in here?
Remy pointed to the food replicator. Meet Mr. Attitude. He had
to bite back a grin when his angel giggled behind him. Remy crossed
his arms over his chest and raised a brow in challenge. Show me
how good you are, Livewire.
The mechanic rolled his eyes at Remy as he walked over to the
replicator. Piece of cake. He pronounced each word with
confidence. Get ready to be amazed.
Remy would be amazed if Livewire was able to get the replicator
to stop foaming at the mouth. He wasn t really looking forward to
using it again since Gigi started cooking fresh food. He was addicted
to his mate s cooking now. This was more of a test to see how good
the guy really was.
The thing was outdated and needed to be tossed out, but he would
measure Livewire s skills by the end results. The entire crew, except
Tank who was flying the ship, sat down to watch the mechanic work
his magic.
I d work a lot better if I didn t have six sets of eyes burning a
hole in my back, Livewire complained as he removed the front
paneling.
We re a team. Get used to it, Remy stated as he took a few steps
back toward the kitchen doors. If the foam started spurting, he was
out of there. He could feel his angel s fingers curl into the back of his
shirt as everyone watched the possibly new mechanic stare in
confusion at the jumble of exposed wires.
What was that you spouted off? Crank teased. If you fix it they
will come?

Livewire s eyes narrowed in on Remy s demo expert. If I fix this
shit, I will come.
Gross, Gigi said from behind Remy.
Remy smirked as he watched Livewire untangle the wires one by
one. Livewire cursed and shook his hand when one of wires shocked
him. Remy chuckled quietly. He d bet his last credit that Livewire
activated the damn machine and ended up covered in white goo.
Just how old is this thing? Livewire asked.
It came with the ship, Remy replied. I think it s original
equipment.
What happened to it?
Beats me.
No, seriously. Livewire glanced over his shoulder. This thing
has been rewired. I m surprised you didn t blow up the entire ship
when you tried to use it. Nothing is where it s supposed to be.
Like I said, Remy replied, it came that way.
Dude, this machine is so seriously botched. Livewire snorted
and turned back to the food replicator. He started yanking wires out
by the handful and unscrewing stuff. Part after part fell to the floor
until all that was left of the replicator was the shell.
Remy didn t know what to think when Livewire suddenly sat
down on the floor, grabbed his little bag, and pulled it closer. He
