disaster hit it. Bullet holes dominate the walls and pieces of the wall are

on the floor. And Fred's desk is chopped in two with him behind it seated

on the floor holding his bloody nose with his shirt.

*end flash back*

Charlie "The Guards cause most of the damage with there automatic fire!"

Charlie" Besides I tried the subtle way but Mr. Loe was not going to give

the information willingly and were still days behind Gene. Anyway I was in

disguise he would recognize me now anyway.

Hilda shakes her head "How long till were at the planet "Way of the

Dragon?"

Charlie "Two days much too long!"

Scene* flash back* Charlie is in disguise of a businessman. Hilda looks like

a

secretary

Hilda "Why do we have to be here what about you perfect information system?"

Charlie " I never said it was perfect,..Fred Loe is smart though his books

show his connection to Gene clearly all information regarding the XGP and

it's location is on a hard copy only or in his head.

Hilda "Lets hope this works"

Charlie " Don't worry we will get the information one was of the other!"

Scene; They enter Mr. Loe's office

Fred " So your the businessman who want to buy some information?"

Charlie "That is correct the information is of a very sensitive nature and I

believe your the only one who knows it."

Fred flips his hair "Well then you do realize that there is a large fee for

any information especially sensitive and rare information,.. So how can I

be of

service?"

Charlie " By telling me what you know about a ship registered out of Blue

heaven ID number 13-45-6789OST?"

Fred "The Outlaw Star?"

Hilda looks at Charlie confused

Charlie "Yes the XGP. I want to know were it is going! I know you have

loaned

Gene Starwind a lot of money and seen no reward. I can let you see a profit

on this deal if you give me the information I need."

Scene Charlie swings out of big briefcase opens in and we see a ton of cash

inside

Charlie "This should be enough for a such a small detail as where a ship is

and where is it headed."

Fred "Sorry that information is not for sale,.. anyway I have no idea what

your talking about.

Charlie beginning to lose temper "I believe that selling this information

could

bring you great benefits,.. if not money there are many other valuable

things

I possess"

Fred :"I sorry I'm not interested please leave I'm a busy man and can 't

be bother by SMALL time rumor hunters like yourself"

Charlie very angry now " Listen it's in your best interest to take this

offer

were hardly a small time operation.

Fred "Yes,.. Yes I read you background and it's all very impressive but I

much

to do GUARDS!"

Charlie "All right you asked for it!"

*END of flash back*

Charlie " Now that I think about it I could have handled that better, I kind

of lost it when he called us small timers"

Hilda "Well that guy is strange and anyway we got the information! Let's

hope Gene is still there when we arrive!"

Scene; Charlie and Hilda arrive at the Way of the dragon and land

Charlie " *&@#! I looks like an earthquake completely destroyed everything

Hilda "How long ago?"

Charlie checks readings from this computer "Less than a day"

Scene Ground shakes Charlie grapes Hilda and stops her from falling.

Hilda "Thanks,... what was that?

Charlie "An aftershock we have to leave it's not safe here and there seem to

be no leads"

Hilda worried"Do you think Gene is buried in here somewhere?"

Charlie "HA! Knowing him he probably caused it,.. but no he's not here the

Outlaw Star's reactor would show up on the readings. I'll bet you lunch

he's OK!"

Hilda "Do you think he named the ship after us.?"

Charlie " I think he named if after you,.. It's a good name,.. suits Gene

and the XGP"

Hilda "....Ok .. now were too?

Charlie " We have no choice but to go to the Leyline and weight,.. even

though my sources say the Kai pirates are already there."

Hilda "But you have a trick up your sleeve, right?"

Charlie *smirking "YOU know me too well Hilda lets go we wouldn't be late!"

Hilda " I don't think I can afford to pay you to go up against the Hazanko

and the Anten seven"

Charlie "Hilda you know any man would be crazy or incredibly greedy and

stupid to do that,... you have to know I how I ...

Hilda " *Kiss* Hold that thought Charlie let's concentrate on getting to the

Leyline and surviving and think about this latter"

Charlie " I'll have to hold you to that...*Kiss*.

Hilda "Remember the plan ,..get to Gene, get to the Leyline get rich, make

it

big and be the most famous Outlaw ever??"

Charlie " I do remember that I said that, but it's also about finding out a

mystery and having an adventure, and maybe more Come on Gene may be on

his

way to the Leyline right now!"
