The Chai Makhani Trio no longer need to run. The Commonwealth Enforcers, with all of their specialized equipment and brutal drive for domination, stand no chance of every finding where the Adghal rebellion lurks.

But freedom from Captain Koltn Ward’s relentless pursuit comes with a price. Someone needs to get a message to Elyot’s mother. And the most uniquely qualified for that mission? Elyot himself.

Not that Keani and Alextra entertain any plans of abandoning him now. But they all keep secrets that pose a risk to that mission. But the airing of secrets and the exposure of lies contains its own hidden dangers.

"Secrets and Lies” is the sixth episode in the ongoing monthly science fiction adventure serial TALES OF THE CHAI MAKHANI TRIO.
