Chapter 113 - Trinaferro’s Relief
"I don’t care a damn that we are winning," Trinaferro sighed, "I’m worried about Medoferro. Paulus doesn’t say a damn thing about him in this wire."
"He probably doesn’t know," Roland told her, "If anything had happened to him you could be sure it would have been put in here."
"I’m not making a very good ruler," Trina sighed, "Am I?"
"You’re worried about your boyfriend," Roland shrugged, "You’re human, Trin. I’d be more worried about you if you weren’t fretting over Medo. Hell, I only respect him as a Mullinix and I’m worried about him too."
"I know," Trina sighed, "I just want some news, that’s all. A few words from him letting me know he’s all right."
"I don’t have that," Marina said as she walked into the room, "But I just got a wire from Iggy."
"Is he done with the Siraqis already?" Roland asked, "What the hell?"
"The Siraqis were so scared we’d retaliate that they gave us what we wanted," Marina said, "The entire discussion took twenty minutes, at which point they shook on the deal and the Siraqis slinked back over the border. Insegniferro will be back tomorrow."
"Great," Trina chuckled, "Now if we can just get good news from the south…"
