Clockworks and Corsets. Tonia Brown
I want to know,” Jayne said, “is what a woman like Ruby wants with Loco’s legacy.”
“Does that mean you’re willing to find out?” Rose asked.
“You know me better than that, Captain,” Jayne said with a toothy grin. “I’d go for free if it means getting a look at the man’s lab. You just try to stop me.”
Rose thought her tinker would react favorably. Still, it was nice to be reassured. She turned her penetrating gaze on the rest of the crew. “What about the rest of you? Do you disagree with my decision?”
“No,” Jax said. “Guppy is right. You are right. We do the work that is needed. No questions asked.”
“I don’t like the idea of working for that woman,” Dot said, “but in for a penny.” She shrugged, letting the cliché trail off.
Rose looked to Magpie.
The communications officer shrugged as well. “I’m sure you know what you’re doing. I just hope you ain’t mad at me for asking.”
“I would’ve expected nothing less,” Rose said. “So, now that our little drama is over, shall we proceed?”
“Aye-aye, Captain!” the women shouted in unison.
Rose basked in their loyalty.
