With her free hand, Bobbie looked over the report from the Roci’s battle at the jump point again. Someone grew a conscience in that standoff, and a five-on-one battle became a four-on-two in the other direction. Those guys didn’t stand a chance. The ship names seemed vaguely familiar. Tynan, DeWalt, Mowteng. No crew manifests in the report. Widow’s Web was being escorted by the Firehawk to the jump point. Keeping their boss as a hostage seemed adequate to keep this an escort and not another brawl, though from what Bobbie understood, someone (probably Holden, being entirely realistic) had promised to buy out the Widows’ contract with Inaros and pay for damages separately, on the condition that they took the nearest available JumpShip to “anywhere but here”. Still, having Kerensky strapped to a bed and sedated in the medbay probably kept a bunch of people with only a vague idea of who he was, no doubt filtered through the…imaginative mind of Marco Inaros, from getting any clever ideas.
