Conan did not want to stay a second longer in this ce. After all, this was the legendary Chief Commander, someone even Lionel respected. He had really shot himself in the foot this time, wishing he had shown better judgment. After they left, Felix breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the forensics results werepromised. It seemed John had timed his report precisely for this reason. "Thank you, Mira," Felix said sincerely.


    Averill immediately protested with a mischievous grin. "What about me? Don''t forget you did nothing but lie in bedst time. You should thank me for my hard work too." Felix felt his face burning with embarrassment-only Averill would make such suggestivements in front of Mira.


    "How did you two end uping together?" he asked, trying to change the subject.


    Mira''s eyes sparkled with amusement. "I was toozy to track you down, so I had Averill do the legwork."


    She turned to Averill and added, "Don''t you have a flight to catch?"


    Averill''s expression showed reluctance, but Mira''s authority was absolute. She gave Felix a quick hug before departing.


    assume you


    "I have something important to discuss, Mira?" Felix asked.


    Mira waved her hand in response, and all the first-floor curtains closed mysteriously. "of course I do! Don''t you remember? You owe me a huge favor from the Pris incident."


    Felix gulped nervously as Mira moved closer. "Sure, I''ll repay it, but why close the curtains in broad daylight?"


    Mira smiled seductively. "I know you and Xena broke up, so until you get back together, we''re not breaking any rtionship rules. Averill and Leslie may have made the first moves before, but today, I''ll show you what real female dominance feels like." Hourster, Mira dressed and picked up her umbre while Felixy in bed, looking somewhat shocked. Shemented, "Your strength is improving rapidly. Soon, I might


    not be able to overpower you at all.


    I''m d I came when I did."


    Felixy there with mixed emotions, unsure what to say. He had indeed fought back with all his might but still ended up being dominated-it was aplete role reversal. "Goodbye, Felix," Mira said softly.


    Felix checked the time and found that it was already 11:00 pm, so he decided to just go to sleep.


    Meanwhile, Alistair had been waiting outside Xena''s office for over two hours at the Canraville Wolfie troops'' headquarters. He did not dare interrupt the emergency video conference with headquarters. "Come in," Xena''s voice finally called out.


    Alistair entered carefully. "Headquarters is demanding a full disciplinary review within the month, with all senior staff required to attend. They''re serious this time."


    After a pause, Xena remembered something else. "What''s happening with Felix? Why couldn''t you tell me over the phone?"


    They always used encrypted lines to discuss cases, so Alistair''s hesitation was unusual.


    "Does he have an alibi?" Xena pressed when Alistair seemed unable to find words.


    "Lady Summers, you might not believe this, but... have you heard of headquarters'' legendary Chief Commander?" a Today''s Bonus Offer
