Secret Betrayals (Xander & Corvus)

[Saro Iris]

Rysill II

She was assigned to Rysil II for one reason, secrets. If she got her hands on a few corporate secrets. Selene's breath was fast as she turned another corner in the building. The way this building was guarded seemed a little odd to her. While there were enough men and woman at the entrance and mostly every main door way, there was none to be found in this small office. She kept her head low and her tail close to her body. Selene pressed herself against the door that held the secrets she needed. She could almost feel like there was something wrong about this situation. Even the door wasn't locked. Pushing it Selene was greeted by a simple computer in the center of the room. Everything was very basic and simple. Closing the door behind her she moved to the computer. Taking out the flash drive she placed it into the USB port and clicked on a locked folder. Her brow creased as she was asked for a password. Selene's fingers typed as fast as she possibly could. She could practically hear the voices nearing the door.

These could be the guards that were absent from the door. As she entered in the password and the file began to download on the USB the door was opened. Selene had no way out other than complete force. They began to shot at her, she slowly began to lifted her hands. Looking down at the screen the downloading bar had only a little more to be downloaded. "Come on boys, I just got lost that's it no need for violence." Selene knew the only thing she was doing was stalling and making these men look like idiots because they have not shot her yet. She looked down at the computer, it was done. Selene quickly grabbed the USB and got down.

There was a few shots fired, they were not laser guns but obviously stun guns. As she slipped the USB into her pocket, she shifted. They shoot once at the spikes on her back and then at her fur. Though the fur was not thick enough to stop the stun from getting to her. Selene was ready to shed blood between these two men. It forced her to shift back. Her body shivered and as she was shaking upon the floor in pain Selene realized why she was in this situation, she was being set up. They found out that Selene was no longer valuable to the company because of her addiction and uncontrollable shifting. They were simply getting rid of her. Selene groaned in pain as they lifted her body. She was being taken somewhere, they covered her eyes with a thick blindfold. Even with her amazing eyesight, there was no telling until the blind fold was removed.

Well, wasn't this a deceivingly special treat he was getting today? He thought that whole sexy thief thing was just a myth in this galaxy, Force knows he hadn't met a single attractive thief during his lifetime. That was saying a lot coming from him. For over two decades of his life he stole candy from babies in the morning, punched old ladies in the afternoon and extorted businesses at night. He even partook in a Spice deal here or there. Oh those were such simpler times and he wouldn't relive them for all the cat-women in the galaxy. Even if they did all look like this one right here.

"So, you thought you could just walk in and steal from me?" Xander commented as he walked a wide circle around the still-blindfolded woman. He had heard about the little shaping incident, no need to get close enough for her to tear his skin off with her teeth. "Even for a cat that is pretty stupid. You must have been eating too much kitty litter as a youngling." He wasn't even close to done with the berating, but he wanted to look into this woman's eyes so she knew she'd done goofed that day. With a small gesture, Xander signaled one of his men to strip her of her blindfold.

With a strong, jerking motion, the guard snatched the blindfold from her head. Her eyes were a deep contrast to the emeralds pulsing with thought in Xander's own head. While his were bright and burning, hers seemed dark and shallow. In fact, her entire face seemed a little too hollow. It didn't take away from her attractiveness, per se, but there was defiantly something off. It took Xander a moment to grasp what it might have been. Spice, or deathsticks...one of the two. He had seen their effects as commonly as most children received hugs. It slowly destroyed your body one way or another. At first the effects were barely noticeable, then they became just a bit clearer like on this woman's face. Eventually, the layer of beauty that sat before him now would have rotted away to but a husk of its former self.

Xander ignored this for now, it was of no real importance. What was important was finding out what she was after. "So what do you have to say for yourself, Kitty?"

Upon hearing the voice she began to come to her scenes. They held her slightly elevated, restricting arm movement but her feet barely touched the floor. Even with the blindfold she kept her cool for a few minutes. Selene cannot stand when her eyes are restricted. Her tail started moving in slowly swishes and then turned into violent twitches. For any feline it was a sign of annoyance or anger. He questioned why she was in this building. Selene managed to pin point the man's footsteps, while her eyes were blinded it did not stop her from moving her head in his direction.

She remained silent to his accusations until he insulted her intelligence Selene's lips pulled in the corners and created some form of devilish grin followed by a soft laugh as she spoke. One thing the spice had yet to effect where her teeth. They still remained the pearly whites she had before her addiction started."Aren't you just a catch.." One of his goons removed her blind fold. At first she closed her eyes, the light pouring in on the was a lot to handle at first until her pupils constricted and adjusted. Circling around her, like an aquatic predator, was a rather tall man, and dare she say handsome?

Selene took in a deep breath and flipped her bangs out of her eyes, while they held her by her forearms it still allowed her limited hand movement. He questioned her for an explanation but she did not answer right away. It was a shame she did not have full control of her tail, otherwise she would have gone for the blasters in the guard's holsters. For now her tail moved and gently ran the tip over one of the man's arms. Selene could practically see his face tense up, it brought a smile back to her lips because she had that effect on him. Once she was done toying with him she threw her head back slowly and groaned as he moved around her, at this time he was behind her. "You have something someone wants and they payed good money for it."

Selene was now facing forward once more and her smile vanished for the time being. "What do want me to do?-" She gave him a pouted lip, as a child would do when they would not get what they wanted. "Apologize?"

Xander snickered, "Not exactly what I had in mind, but it'd be a good start"

The young business man stopped, looking over the near-human with curious eyes. Had she really been paid by someone to come running up here, screw up his feng shui and steal his materials? Well, he guessed it had to be true to a point. No one sneaks into a heavily guarded SDE outpost just to admire the drapes, but at the same time, who would hire a drug addict for the job? Then again, his point still remained. It'd be impossible for someone off the street to even know where to begin looking for things of worth inside the SDE building.

Unless she was a real digger. For information that is.

"Do you know who I am? Who you are stealing from?"

Even though she offered her apology, it was not given. Her smile had already faded and was now a more serious and confident look. Seduction only got her so far in this business. Selene raised her eyebrow, her chin held slightly high. "I don't care who you are, all I care about is at the end of the day they get what they want and I walk away with the credits." Then it hit her like a train, the Spice was beginning to take control of her shifting. It started with the room spinning and then the initial shift. It was rather painful but not as painful as it would be for the guard.

Selene shifted, breaking the harsh restraints they placed on her human arms. Instinctively she went to her right, she was already on top of the man, her teeth bared as she opened wide to place his head between them. The other guard had readied his weapon and stunned her. The dial must have been forced to the highest extent because her large body practically thrashed about on the hard surface. The experience would always be painful for her, never once was unintentional shift painless. Selene quickly flashed between forms, the stunning sent chills down her spine.

Despite Selene coming off as a very seduction and materialistic being, she had her ups and downs, she had her problems just as anyone else was. It was rather down grading for her emotions to see how the Spice was controlling her sifting at times and she was no longer in it. Quickly the guard she once had a seductive handle on was grabbing her rather harshly by her hair, yanking her up to her feet and then placing her hands behind her back, followed by a pair of Stun cuffs. Selene jerked from his grasp for a second. Her facial features spoke simply as Selene felt as she wanted to just box up but, her orange eyes still glared back at the man who interrogated her.

There was no reason for her to be even protecting the people who hired her. They betrayed her, backstabbed her yet she remained loyal. Maybe she had hopped that coming back to the company with her information they would allow her back in. Right now it was the only job that actually feed into her addiction.

Xander had nearly jumped out of his skin when the woman had suddenly leap out of hers, shifting in a beast with razor claws and daggers for teeth. For a moment, he thought for sure that he was going to need a new guard when she put her massive mouth around the man's head. Luckily, the other guards had been on their toes and a stun blast sent her falling to the floor in a convulsing pile of pain and agony. Before he had time to order it, the guards had drug her up from her hair and slapped a pair of constraints on her.

"Those are stun this time, right? You bunch of bafoons?!" Xander screamed at the guards, his heart still pounding in his chest.

"Ye-yes sir. It won't happen again Mr. Star-

Xander corrected him with nothing more than a bold glare.

"I mean Corbal, sir."

"Good" Xander hissed, straightening his jacket and walking over to the young woman...thing. Squatting down in front of her, he looked into her eyes. She was still attractive for being a morphing alien thief, but he'd be damned if he was going to let this slide. "Look, kitty" he growled, "I don't know how much spice they are paying you for this job, but it's not worth your life. Stargo Defense Enterprises is more than just a defense company and there are a billion different holes on a trillion different planets that we could bury you in. " With a hand still trembling from the scare, he placed her chin in his hand and forced her eyes to his own. "So don't make me have to break that pretty little face of yours."

Selene watched the man and the guards holding her as she was, once more, restrained. She gently jerked on the restraints but the man only pulled her cuffs tighter, the feeling of the steel digging into her skin was more than unpleasant. Her brows creased as he moved back over to her. Part of her wanted to smile and enjoy the fear behind his eyes that she gave him, or the other half of her did though she did not bask in it. Selene's heart dropped when he mentioned spice, if she didn't have those cuffs on she probably would have swung on him. She defiantly tensed up, her tail swished slowly.

When she spoke she completely ignored the spice comment. She shook her head slowly as she spoke. "They're paying me just enough to risk it." Selene knew her life worth was compared to these higher drug lords and most likely just a little less then the men who paid her on Felacat. Selene narrowed her eyes when he put a hand on her chin and directed eye contact to his. "Look you find me a job that pays just as much as this one and I'll give the information you so desperately want." She smiled, rolled her amber colored eyes, and even snickered a little to herself.

There were only a few jobs that needed her expertise and so far she had snatched the one that paid Selene enough to get thrown in situations like this. Not to mention she was going to need another job if this one really did not want her back. A girls gotta get her spice.

Xander let her chin fall from his hand, giving her a cooked glare as he stood from his position in front of her. She was a defiant one and part of him just wanted to send her off right now, so neither he nor anyone else would have to deal with her again. There was another part of him though, one that knew the smartest thing to do was use her for her information. He needed to find out who was trying to spy on the company so that they could be silenced. SDE had a long history of dealing with its own problems under the table, for now that was was going to be he plan. Find out who hired her and then put out the word for big money on their heads.

"A job, fine." Xander nodded, walking around the restrained woman to sit at the desk behind her. The Guards picked her up and spun her around so that he eyes were still on him. "We will pay you to tell us everything you know and bring us back the proof of your words. We will take some blood samples from you, mark down your identity and if you decide to run off before the job is done then we'll just hunt you instead."

Xander leaned into the table, "go back to whoever hired you and send any information they have about hiring you directly from their own main computer, to the SDE computers on Geonosis. Do this and you might earn yourself your life and little money on the side, otherwise I can let you pick a ditch to sleep in now."

They jerked Selene up rather abruptly and began to twist her arms more than they already where. Selene turned her head to glace at the men behind her. Inhaling she directed her glare back onto this man. Her brows creased as he spoke, once more her stomach dropped when he spoke about taking blood samples. It was obvious that he knew she was doing Spice but now it would most likely go out to the rest of his guards if not a joke you tell in a conversation. She defiantly tensed up, her tail twitched furiously once more behind her. "I would shake your hand and save you've got a deal but you know.."

Selene looked back, smiling and batting her eyelashes at the guards holding her back. They mumbled something witty and then nudged each other giving a faint chuckle. Inhaling in a deep breath she allowed her smile to fade once more. "I don't have much to offer you as of now. Maybe a few names and what files they were extracting." It was either her life or the people who threatened spice addiction. She'd give anyone in for a jar of Glitterstim or her all time favorite, Giggledust. Selene paused for a moment before continuing, "My right pocket is the flash drive, I assume you'd want it. Once the files were downloaded onto it, the ones on your computers were erased. Don't ask me how it works, I'm not the Slicer who designed it."

Xander cracked a grin and nudged his head towards one of the guards holding her. The burly man, his face bleeding lightly from her earlier attack, gripped her hard and stuck a hand into her pocket to search for the files.

"So, let's start from the top. What are their names?" Xander asked, leaning back in his chair and kicking his feet up onto the desk before him. What she said next aught to be good.
