Prologue

Two and half months earlier

I don’t care what it takes, I want the girl, the man in the dark hood said. His strange hypnotic eyes swirled.

I will do everything I can, but it will take time and it will be tricky. She is involved with one of the fighters, another man in a suit said.

I have been a loyal customer. I expect to be given what I want. I pay you enough.

Yes sir, I understand. But why that girl? We have several already in stock that you can take your pick between.

I want that one! I plan to sell off my current stock. I have grown bored with them. They no longer please me. He turned to look at the young woman that had captured him completely. She was lovely with her dark brown hair and brown eyes. She held such innocence that he could feel it from a distance. When she smiled, it lit up the room and her laughter made his whole body shiver with anticipation. He envied the way she looked at that lowly fighter. She deserved so much more. He could give her so many beautiful things. He would take her from galaxy to galaxy showing her all that there was to see. He would do anything to have her.

We have to be careful. The last few girls we took for the black market had raised some suspicion from the local authorities, the suit man said running a hand through his hair.

I will pay extra. But I will have her.

I will get my people working on it. Give us some time.

I am not the most patient man. I want results.

I understand. I must ask you to limit your visits to the GCFA circuit events. We don’t want to draw attention to you before the woman has been taken.

I will do my best to keep my distance. You are having the man and woman work on this?

Yes, they are my best people.

Tell the male not to touch my woman. If I find out that he has touched her in any way, I will have his hand removed.

Yes sir.

*****

The next day the boss woke and reached for his phone, hitting the preprogrammed number and listened while the phone rang. After the fourth ring, a familiar voice answered.

Boss, is there a problem, the man on the other end said.

Let us hope there is no problem. Are our people ready to proceed? the boss asked.

Yes sir, whenever you are ready.

Then set the plan in motion, the boss said and hung up the phone.

Chapter One

Special Agent Rachel Kegan of the Intergalactic Department of Justice, more commonly known as the IDJ, circled her opponent slowly. He certainly had an advantage over her with his height and size. Special Agent Trig Collins was six foot five, towering over her own five foot six inches. He held himself with grace despite his muscular frame. He had beautiful mocha-colored skin and striking blue eyes with dark hair that he kept shaved short.

However, while Rachel weighed only one hundred twenty-five pounds compared to his two hundred twenty, she knew his main weakness—his right knee. It had been broken several times in the last two years. Though it had been repaired fairly quickly each time, he still favored it, keeping it behind his body and protected.

She threw some punches, knowing they would be easily blocked. She began breathing heavily to make it look as if she were tiring. She went to kick his stomach, which he anticipated and responded to by grabbing her leg. That move was one that she had anticipated. She let all her weight go, letting it pull both her and her opponent who was still holding her leg, to the floor. She grabbed the surprised man’s leg and twisted with all her might until she heard a snap.

Match over, she called to her opponent, who was rolling on the mat in pain.

For the love of God, Rachel, did you have to fucking break it again? the man cried out, clutching his broken leg.

Rachel jumped up from the mat and stretched her body. She was sure she would have quite a few bruises, but she wouldn’t need the healers to fix them. They would heal on their own in a few days. She walked over to her downed opponent and squatted beside him. She hit the communications device on her badge. Computer, send healers to the training facility immediately.

The computer answered in a feminine voice, Healers are on their way.

Come on, Trig, it’s not that bad. She poked at his leg, causing him to moan again. It’s a clean break and the healers will fix it up in no time, even as she finished speaking, the healers had arrived to administer pain control medications.

She stood and walked across the wide-open training space that was filled with mats placed around the room to practice hand-to-hand combat. She was headed toward the showers when she heard someone call her name.

She stopped and looked around the training facility. Chief Officer Marks was waving her over to him. Marks was in his early fifties and had salt and pepper hair, but was very fit for his age. He was standing next to an unfamiliar man with short dark blond hair and brown eyes, who was wearing a very expensive suit. She wondered if she had screwed up the paperwork from her last investigation. Marks always rode her ass about not crossing her t’s and dotting her i’s.

Sir. Rachel stood at attention before her chief officer. She gave a sideways glance at the other man, noting that he was probably in his forties. He wasn’t as tall as Trig, but he had a muscular frame.

Agent Kegan, after you take a shower, I’d like you to come to my office. There is a mission I believe you’ll be perfect for, Marks told her.

Yes sir. Rachel walked away with the odd feeling that this mission was going to be different than any other that she ever had before. She had learned to listen to her intuition over the years; it had never steered her wrong.

Chapter Two

Rachel sat in Chief Officer Marks’s office with him and the man in the suit. They were looking at the television monitor. The video feed on the television showed a huge, circular arena with rows of seats surrounding a large, dome-shaped cage that sat in the center. Two men were inside the cage facing one another. Both men were aliens. One was a halfsie, part humanoid, part Beastial. The other was a full-blood Artarian with three arms. Two commentators were working the fight.

Current GCFA Champion Rage is getting his face pummeled by the Artarian. Rage just kicked the Artarian in his left knee! Artarians are known to have weak knees, Poland, Commentator Johann said.

This is getting interesting, Johann. Rage is circling the Artarian. Oh! He just kicked the Artarian’s back, the second commentator, Poland replied.

The Artarian is fighting back. He uses his third arm to knock Rage on his ass!

This is just an incredible show of brute strength and fighting talent.

Rage just got tossed over the Artarian’s head, landing hard on the mat, face first. That had to hurt!

I’m sure that it does. Look how the Artarian is preparing to mount him.

Where did that strength come from? Rage just threw the Artarian off him, sending him flying hard against the cage wall. Now Rage is drilling him with punch after punch.

The Artarian is down! The ref is out there counting it down. Three! Two! One! Match over!

The GCFA Champion is still Rage the Animal! Johann and Poland yelled at the same time.

The overhead screen froze on the image of the bloody fighter winning the Galactic Cage Fighting Championship. The GCFA was the largest sport-fighting promotion company in the universe. They produced events in different regions across the many galaxies, dividing them into eight divisions. GCFA promoted full-contact sports involving mixed fighting disciplines such as boxing, wrestling, and martial arts. The fighters with the GCFA were either full-blooded alien or a halfsie.

The recorded fight they had just watched was one with which Rachel was familiar. She had actually watched the match with her friends and co-workers at the local Galactic Pub. Rage had been her uncle’s favorite.

I am not sure I understand what the mission is. Did you want me to investigate the fighter? Rachel asked, not taking her eyes off Rage. Even covered in alien blood, he was hot. He stood over seven feet tall and was reported to weigh two hundred fifty pounds. His body was all muscle.

We want you to start your investigation with the GCFA circuit. It may lead to individual fighters. Marks handed Rachel a personal electronic display, a PED, with a beautiful woman’s image on it. She had long, sable brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She had mixture of a Hispanic descent, and she was human, at least in appearance.

Her name is Lucinda Stamos. Her uncle is Senator Jon Stamos of the Eastern Quarter of the Omega Region. She went missing a little over two months ago, Marks informed her.

What does her disappearance have to do with the GCFA? Rachel asked as she studied the image of the young woman.

She was celebrating her college graduation with friends. They went to one of the GCFA matches and according to her friends, she started an affair with one of the fighters. She followed him on their circuit tour, but somewhere along the way, she just disappeared. Her friends and family haven’t heard anything from her and the GCFA released a statement saying she left the spaceport hotel on her own.

Rachel looked again at the image of Rage. Was he involved somehow? Could he be the boyfriend? A part of her hoped that he wasn’t as she asked the question, Who was the fighter she was involved with?

Talon, according to the friends’ reports, but this is bigger than just her. She’s the eighth human woman to go missing in the last six months. They were women of different ethnicities, from all over the eight regions. The one common thread linking them is that they were all last seen at a GCFA match before they were reported missing. I’ve downloaded a report on each woman for you, Marks stated.

She quickly scrolled through the summaries of each case. Each woman had last been seen in one of the regions on the GCFA circuit. The circuit covered eight regions—Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omega, Delta, Kappa, Theta, and Zeta. Each region was also separated in four quarters—Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern, with each quarter containing a million galaxies. That was a lot of ground to cover, and it was only a small piece of the enormous universe.

The young women had gone missing from almost every region on the GCFA circuit. The first girl, Lauren Crabtree, was reported missing from the Alpha Region. Then two girls, Sandra Tate and Melissa Dearling, went missing from the Delta Region. Barbie Vent went missing from the Beta Region. Two more, Robin Teros and Vanna Jones, were from the Theta Region. Candy Simmons had gone missing from the Gamma Region. The final girl, Lindy Stamos, went missing from the Zeta Region.

As Marks was explaining the disappearances of the other women, Rachel looked at their images on her PED, one right after another. They were all young and beautiful. Did you question the fighter, Talon?

"We tried, but the GCFA lawyers have been giving us grief about harassing their fighters. It’s been hard to get answers from him or anyone associated with the GCFA. The statement their publicity team released stated that each of the women in
