    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    Simon's usually stoic face scrunched with confusion. "What are you doing?"

    "Well- I just, ya know. I just wanted to-" Grace closed his eyes and took a deep breath that did nothing to calm his nerves before he shakily managed out. "I made you, a bouquet."

    Simon's expression only twisted further into distress, "Why did you do that?"

    Grace felt his measly courage wheeze out of him like a pathetic balloon, letting out a weak little, "Huh?"

    After a moment for this brain to catch up with his mouth, he gulped and opened his mouth to try again, then stopped. Started again. "It’s… flowers."

    "Yes," Simon said slowly, "I can see that."

    Grace swallowed and tentatively added, "…For you."

    That landed wrong. Simon’s immediately tensed, not in anger, more like suspicion and concern. He eyed the flowers with pursed lips before slowly drawing out another, "Why?"

    "What?"

    Summary

    “Y’know, Six, if I had known you had such good genes I would have tracked you down earlier.”

    Six forced his face and voice to stay neutral. “What?”

    “I’m not personally escorting them, but my people informed me of a…” Hansen pauses, seemingly looking for information. Six’s gut is always right, and there was a rock settling in the pit of his stomach. “Colt Seavers and Ryland Grace. Who knew Sierra had family?” A cold laugh echoed through the phone. “I’ll see you soon, Six. Family reunion! How exciting.”

    The line went dead. Six was still, except for his right hand slowly crushing the phone held to his ear. He would need to get rid of it anyway.

    This stupid fucking USB. He wanted to burn it.

    Glass crunched in his fist, the phone irreparable. God, he was going to fucking murder Lloyd Hansen.

    He brought the phone down, staring at it. The screen had faded to darkness.

    or

    The Gray Man (2022) but if Ryland and Colt, who were under the assumption that their older brother was dead, were kidnapped as leverage.

    Summary

    Simon knew better than to trust the intentions of the man who saved him. Everyone wanted something. Even Ryland Grace, who had a ship full of everything a man could need. The only thing the scientist lacked was human company.

    Which meant that Grace wanted something only another person could give.
