WHEN FLEAS BITE THE DOG 7.2

Dannke paced the room nervously. Fleas didn't dare look at him.

"I'm sorry."

Dannke looked at him dead serious.

"You're sorry? You're sorry?! Do you have any idea what I had to do to get Heli... the Empress to let you go? You commit such a mistake. And you're painting it! I can't believe how careless you are," he took a deep breath and paused. "Never mind, never mind. They may suspect, but no one knows for sure that it was you. On top of that, you picked the worst possible time... with the extermination that has already begun..."

"Extermination?"

"At the Council, the Empress decided to kill all non-human slaves."

Fleas opened his mouth in surprise. Then he remembered Pli's words about the sewers. If he could warn everyone, they might be able to save themselves. Could he help in some way? First he would have to escape. But... that meant leaving behind the things Bekwin had given him. He had the key and the door was locked. He could come back later.
