Part 46 Aborted escape
Garnett had a plan. She was now ready to break free. It would depend on surprise and daring. She watched as the slave master brought them their food. With slight of hand she shoved a piece of cloth into the lock. When the door swung close it did not click.
Yani looked down hiding her surprise at this move. She tensed ready to follow this clever human to freedom.
2.3 mics latter Garnett opened the door. She slipped out and behind an unsuspecting guard. She kicked him behind his knee and he grunted and fell. Her arms wrapped around his neck before he could cry out. The section 31 agent knocked him out could. She quickly removed a small knife and the controller from his belt. So, far so good she thought.
Just then the alarms went off.
Damn it. Garnett thought. Did I trip some alarm?
The answer came quickly. The speakers called off orders.
"The Klingon male prisoner number 122339 has escaped and is heading toward cell block d4."
"Go back Yani that Klingon is heading our way." Garnett whispered. They ran back through the block. Garnett took a quick look at all of the prisoners. She memorized faces as she ran. She would be back for them.
Both women dove into their cell the door closing just as the maddened Klingon warrior came stumbling in. He was wrestling with a large Orion. There was a audible crack as the Orion was tossed aside dead.
Yani gasped in shock. The male was very strong. Unlike most he did not have ridges on his face.
Garnett saw this and cursed he was clearly an Augment.
Twin beams hit the warrior and he collapsed. Two guards came up and grabbed the Klingon. They opened the cage and tossed him in with Garnett and Yani.
"We should shot him." One Orion said.
"No, He will be worth his weight in latinum. Vrion was a fool He should not have tried to take that one in hand to hand combat. No he will bring us much wealth in the fighting rings." The leader said with a smirk. "Perhaps we will pair him with those females. See they seem to like him."
Garnett glared at the Orion even as she and Yani moved to help the wounded Klingon. He could prove to be a useful ally.
When the Orions left Yani washed the Klingons face. He was magnificent to look at. He was over six foot six with broad shoulders and thick arms. He had clearly not been an easy capture.
"Garnett, Klingons have ridges on their faces? Who is this and why does he not have them if he is Klingon?" Yani asked confused. He was also a lot stronger then normal. Who or what are you?
Garnett sighed and dropped her voice low. "He is an Augment Yani. Genetically enhanced. "
"An augment?" Yani said. She looked down to hide her sudden smile. Her fingers carefully caressed his face. "Wow, Like Khan then?"
Garnett snorted. "Worse, Klingons are aggressive naturally add augment to the mix and you have a formidable warrior."
"Good, that could help us." Yani said smiling. "Garnett…I think I am going to have got trust you. I am an augment."
Garnett sighed and nodded. "I know." She replied. "After all you did bend that bar earlier."
Yani blushed. She pulled the door shut to hard and it had bent.
"OK so let's find a way to use this." Yani suggested.
The Klingon woke and froze shocked to be looking up into a human face. His hand struck out in defense and he was even more shocked to have it caught and held in place. "Easy friend we only want to help you." Yani said "We could use a powerful ally to help us escape."
The Klingon nodded and slowly sat up looking at his two human companions.
