This was the perfect time to leave. Everyone was distracted by the celebration. Beka knew that without a distraction, she faced a fight. Dylan would never let her leave willingly. Well, she had to.
She quickly packed her stuff and headed for the hangar deck. She hurried to the Maru and requested clearance for takeoff. It wasn't hard to get. She wasn't a high ranking government official but, as per Dylan's orders she had all the privileges of one. She was quickly cleared.
Now she went to record a message to send back. "Hey, guys. By the time you get this, I'll have already left as you'll be able to figure out. Don't try and find me. It's better this way, believe me. I'm never coming back. It's nothing personal or anything. It's nobody's fault. None of you did anything to make me leave. This is my own decision. It's just that I don't fit in there; I never have. I've known this in my heart for awhile… but… I just didn't want to face it. I have, now. So, I'm off to make a new life for myself. Please, please respect my decision. I love you guys, always and forever. Beka out."
She sent it over the official channel, which wouldn't be checked for messages till tomorrow morning. She had almost a whole day to get away. And with her experience at hide and go seek, they'd never find her.
