“Fudlack is dead, D’pa is going to kill you, we’re your chance to save your life, and you won’t tell us anything.” Xeryl leaned against the table beside Zy. “Fair summation of stupidity to me.”

Xeryl must have just the right stance to convince someone like Strual because he finally stopped clicking his beak. “I had an appointment with Fudlack to discuss my last assignment at 20 local hours last night. We talked for half of an hour before Goumbi interrupted us. He insisted I needed to leave, so Fudlack said we would continue our meeting in the morning. I went home. The guards dragged me from bed around 1 local hours. D’pa said I am a liar and I killed Fudlack.”

“Who’s Goumbi?” Zy rested her hands on the table.

Strual waved his finger tentacles. “Low level, but higher than me. He saved D’pa decapitation, and D’pa blamed the whole incident on me. I don’t know why Goumbi would not tell him he went to Fudlack’s office.”
