Jan smiled as Erisi spoke.

You obviously want to get the show on the road.

“ You and I will take a Sentenial Landing craft to Commenor, and then we will board the starliner Queen of Empire, which will take us to Abregado-rae, posing as husband and wife. On landing, we will go to the Jewel Hotel and make reservations for two weeks. We will act like tourists, visiting the casinos. During some of that time, we will sneak away to a tunnel entrance, and follow the tunnel and meet the leaders of the Abregado-rae Liberation League. We will discuss the plan for an uprising. Later, 4 Defender Gunships and 8 Nebulon-B2 Frigates will arrive, with 72 K-wing Bombers, 132 XJ X-wings, 60 A-wings and 102 B-wings. Those forces will defeat any forces that the Abregado-rae government can bring in, and land troops, to help the resistance fighters. The battle will be complete and Abregado-rae will be liberated. We will return to Haven with some of the forces. Any questions?”

Jan was sure the Erisi would mention that she didn’t have any training in wifely duties, but he was prepared to answer, after she mention it.

Erisi was startled at the mention that she would pose as a wife.

What the hell? I have no experience or training in wifely duties, how am I supposed to act like a wife? Oh, I see, he will use this to convince me to sleep him, saying something about us being under watch. I guess I'll have to play along with it, but I'm not going to sleep with him, at least not until I decide to.

"Well, I would like to point out that I have no experience in wifely duties. I was wondering though, when will Rimrunner be repaired? If it was repaired in time for the mission, it could bring in around 50 troops. You could say they are passengers, and hide weapons in the shielded compartments."

Jan thought for a moment before answering.

"You won't need experience in wifely duties, we don't have to cook or clean anything. As for Rimrunner, it should be done being repaired in one week. We had the equipment here, so it will be a fast job. As for your idea, we will take that into consideration, and may do that. We would have to know the command codes fo it."

"I'll provide those codes to you once you make your decision."

"I understand. Any other questions?

Hopefully not, we have to finish this up so we can get to Commenor so we can take the starliner to Abregado-rae.

"No, no more questions."

"Well then, I'll let Norika show you to the fitting room, so that we can get some clothes that fit our disguise of a rich couple."

Norika led Erisi out of the room. Jan smiled as he thought of the outfits he had set aside. Originally he had planned for Mirax to join him, but Erisi was a better choice, and she would probably look better in the clothes then Mirax would have. Jan walked out after them, but stopped at Mirax's desk.

"Have you made the reservations for the Queen of the Empire yet?"

"Yep. The fanciest suite, and it has two double beds. Do you want me to do anything else?"

"Yes please. Can you give me a paper version of the Abregado-rae file?"

"Sure, it'll take a couple minutes."

"Thanks. I'll be in my office."

Jan walked back into his office, and opened some drawers in his desk. Then he called his airspeeder pilot.

"Be ready for liftoff in five minutes, I'm coming up."

"Yes sir."

Mirax walked in at that moment as Jan finally got a good view of the cloths that she was wearing. It was a fancy shirt that was cut low, and as usual, a tight, short leather skirt that barely covered the curves of her buttocks. She walked over to his desk and bent low at the waist, putting the file on his desk, and giving him an excellent view of the tops of her breasts. Then she started to walk out of the room, but dropped her pen. Bending again at the waist, she picked it up, but kept her ass high, giving him another excellent view. Jan opened the file after she had left. Inside was an extra slip of paper.

If you ever want to have some fun after work, just say that you want something dropped off at up at house.

That was interesting. Obviously Mirax thought that Jan was handsome, and was willing to have some fun with him. Maybe he would take her up on the offer, but not yet. Jan closed the file, and pulled out the blasters from his drawer. Then he left the office and locked it.

"See you in a couple weeks Mirax."

"I'll keep the office tidy."

"Thanks."

Jan left and walked up to his airspeeder to go to his house and pack.

Erisi followed Norika out of the building and to the intelligence building.

“We scanned your measurements yesterday, and bought some clothes. Since you are posing as a rich husband and wife, we have bought you rich clothes, though this usually means revealing more skin then a body suit would.”

Figure, with Jan running the show I’m probably wearing the sluttiest clothing he could find.

“Here we are.”

Norika opened a closet to reveal a bunch of clothes.

“These are the clothes that you will need for your trip and stay at Abregado-rae. Here is a suit case, non shielded”

Norika walked over to another closet and opened it.

“These are the clothes that you can use for while you aren’t in disguise as a rich person. The suitcase is shielded against weapons sensors. You should be packed within two hours. That is when the Sentenial Landing Craft will depart. Do you have any questions?”

“No.”

“Good. An airspeeder will be waiting outside for you, to take you to the Sentenial. Everything is set up. Your fake IDs are in the purse that is in the first suitcase. It contains some credits for you to use, as well as your down payment, though that is in a separate box, locked up. Just touch your finger to the sensor and it will only open to your DNA pattern. You can change now, or change on the Sentenial Landing Craft, which has been made to have three separate leaving quarters and two refreshers. The pilots use the small living quarter, you can Jan can use the two big ones. There is makeup on the Sentenial for you to use.”

“Thank you.”

Norika walked out, leaving Erisi to pack. Erisi debated the matter over in her mind and ended up deciding to change later. She packed quickly and then left to meet the airspeeder, which took her directly to the Sentenial. She boarded it and took her bags inside, leaving them in the biggest of the three living quarters.

Hey, Jan’s not here yet, so I guess I should use the biggest one. After all, first come first serve.

Erisi lay down on her bed, to just rest for a bit.

Jan walked up the ramp of the Sentenial Landing craft.

“Is Erisi here yet?”

“Yep. She took the biggest living quarters.”

“Ok.”

Jan walked over to the second biggest living quarters and left his two bags inside. He was packed the same as Erisi, with matching luggage, to support the idea that they were husband and wife. The landing craft lifted off, and they were on their way to Commenor.

Erisi was woken up by the sound of the pilots voice coming over the com system.

“Five minutes to exit from hyperspace.”

This startled Erisi. Had she really fallen asleep? She quickly walked over to the refresher and changed into the first of the sets of clothes, a shirt that lay open from throat to tail. It was gathered at the waist by the belt on her skintight pants, which was good because the shirt didn’t have any fasteners.

Anyone with half a brain a brain can tell what I look like naked when I wear these clothes. Oh well, I have to play along with the charade.

She exited her room and saw Jan.

“Wait Jan, there is a couple things I want to discuss.”

‘Yes.”

“First off, we have to lay down some ground rules.”

“All right.”

“You do not touch my ass or breasts, under any conditions. You may kiss me, but try not to do it too much. Hugging is acceptable.”

“All right.”

“Second, we sleep in separate beds when at all possible. I realize on Abregado-rae we can only have 1 king sized bed, but we will deal with that when the time comes, and don’t get any ideas.”

“All right.”

“In that case, lets go on our trip, husband.”

Erisi took Jan’s arm, while a repulsor trolley carried their bags behind them.

“How long until we leave for Abregado-rae.”

“Only about two hours.”

‘That’s good.”

They walked across the landing field to the Immigration officer, Jan pushing the suitcases on a trolley.

“Next.”

The two of them walked up.

"May I see your identification cards?"

Jan passed them both over.

"Mr. and Mrs. Falm, what is the purpose of your visit? Personal, or Business?"

"Personal. We are going to board the Queen of Empire.”

“I see. Everything looks in order. Next.”

They walked over to a hover cab.

“Take us to the Queen of Empire.”

“Yes sir.”

They drove to the ship.

When they arrived Jan handed their boarding passes to the male crewman. The man punched a hole in them both, while staring at Erisi and then gave them back to Jan.

“Mr. and Mrs. Falm, have a good trip. There is a party in the Captain’s Lounge tonight if you wish to come, you are invited.”

“Thank you.”

Erisi knew that the Captain’s Lounge was just the name of the fancy restaurant, but no doubt the other passengers would be gossiping about it. The two of them walked up the ramp and to their suite. Erisi was amazed at how big it was. It had a large entry room, with a bedroom with two kings sized beds and a study on the right. There was a refresher attached to the bedroom. On the left there was a separate room for idle chat, with a holoprojector and all the newest holodramas. Also there was another room used for after diner parties with a fully stocked wine cabinet and some chocolates and other treats. The whole thing must have cost a lot to pay for the passage. Erisi set her bag on one of the beds and started to unpack her clothes, hanging them up. Her second suitcase was put at the bottom of the closet, unpacked. Jan was similarly unpacking, but leaving his second suitcase packed.

“How long until the party in the Captain’s Lounge?”

“Two hours, but it isn’t until after dinner, so if you want to go and get a bit to eat…”

“That sounds good.”

The two of them walked out and went to find a nice restaurant…

Five hours later the two of them returned to their suite. Erisi quickly changed into her sleeping garments, a bodysuit, in the refresher station. As she exited she noticed that Jan had changed into a pair of shorts to sleep in and was seating on his bed reading a datapad.

Jan frowned as he read the report that he had received on his datapad.

“Erisi, I have some bad news for you.”

“What is it?”

Jan could see her tense up.

“It’s you family. The government initiated a bombardment on your village, and destroyed everything. Your parents have been comfirmed dead, as well as your brothers.”

“What about my sister?”

‘That is unknown.”

Jan waited, not wanting to say anything, for fear of hurting Erisi even more.

Erisi was tense as she heard the news.

Why did this have to happen? Why? I was just about to save all of you, and now your dead.

Erisi started to cry, the first tears that she had shed in a very long time.

“It’s not fair, I’m going to be all alone if my sister isn’t all right. I’ll have nothing left for me.”

Erisi continued to cry.

Jan saw that Erisi needed comfort, and fast. Stood up and hugged her, rubbing her back.

“Don’t worry, it will turn out fine.”

Jan released her and looked into her eyes, and then at the bed. She nodded. He quickly lied down on the bed, making room beside him for Erisi. This wasn’t an agreement to have sex with her, he knew that, this was only to help her, to support her in her time of need. He stroked her back, as she lay beside him, her breasts and head lying on his chest and shoulder. They both ended up falling asleep there…

The next few days while traveling aboard the Queen of Empire, Erisi hung onto Jan, leaning against him and generally using him as support. Every night they would sleep in the same bed by mutual consent, but nothing would happen, neither of them thought of starting a relationship with each other, Erisi was too sad, and Jan too kind to do that to her. Finally they landed on Abregado-rae.

“Honey, it’s time. We’re at Abregado-rae.”

“All right.”

Erisi came out of the refresher, in another one of her fancy outfits. This one was a tight dress, cut high on the legs and low on the top. The back had a zipper running along it. They walked off the ship and got a hover car to take them to their hotel. Their suite was smaller then last time, with a refresher and bedroom on the right, but only one king sized bed in it, and a relaxation room on the left, with holoprojector and a couch. There was also a wine cabinet in the room, but smaller and not as fully stocked. There was a swimming area and fitness room downstairs, reserved for the rich guests.

“What do you say to going to some tourist locations?”

“Sounds good.”

The two of them left and played the part of tourists, for the two weeks, though sometimes they would meet with the leaders of the Abregado-rae Liberation League. They had an enjoyable time.

On the evening before the attack Jan and Erisi had one last meeting with the leaders, to finalize some smaller details. When they entered Erisi made a small shout of delight and raced forward to hug someone who Jan did not recognize from previous meetings, but looked very similar to Erisi.

“Jan, I would like you to meet my sister, Cathy.”

Jan realized that this was Erisi’s sister that they had not known if she was alive or dead.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Cathy.”

He shook her hand.

“I’ll let you two catch up on things while I talk to the other people.”

Jan walked off to where five native Gados and two humans were seated at a table…

Erisi was surprised to see her sister alive.

“How did you manage to escape the bombardment?”

“I wasn’t in the village at the time of the bombardment. The liberation had me checking out equipment in other villages, to make sure it was good.”

“Why didn’t people know if you were alive then?”

“Because one of the villages I checked out was bombarded right after I left, so they were unsure if I had died in that bombardment. My schedule was very loose, so they weren’t sure where I was one day to the next.”

“Oh, I see.”

“So, how did you end up involved in the New Rebellion, and escorting such a cute guy?”

The tone that Cathy said that it left the obvious impression that she thought Erisi had sold herself to Jan.

“Don’t even think about that. I started by bringing supplies to them, to help pay for the stuff that I brought to our village. Then my hyperdrive was damaged while bringing cargo to them, so I had to talk to Jan to organize how I would pay for repairs. In the end I didn’t pay anything for my ship to be fixed, and they offered me the job of acting as a guide for Jan here, for 200 000 credits.”

“@#%$, that’s a lot of money, especially just to act as a guide.”

The same tone was still in Cathy’s voice.

“There is nothing going on between the two of us, so stop thinking that way.”

“Fine.”

“Lets go see what the leaders have planned.”

Erisi and Cathy walked over to see what Jan and the leaders of the Abregado-rae Liberation League were doing.
