She blinked in; "They are sleeping where you left them, sir." Andromeda
lied.
"And Beka's?" Dylan asked.
"Sleeping with your children as well sir." She lied again.
"And where is Angel and her family?" Dylan asked.
"Harper is in Machine shop working and Angel and her three children are no
longer on board the ship." She informed them in a lie.
"What!?" Dylan asked surprised. "How long have they been gone?" He snapped.
"20 minutes at the most sir." Andromeda said, Dylan knew she was lying but
played along.
"Sir I can't find their life signs on board, they are doing the same trick
Desicreed pulled when he was on board the ship those years ago." Andromeda
asked.
"Great." Dylan mumbled.
"Well tell me the truth now sir, where is my sister and her three
children?" Desicreed asked.
"If they have hidden their life signs then I could not tell you." Dylan
said. Before Dylan knew it everything went black. He woke up sometime later
noticing he was in a room with Harper, Beka, Tyr, and Rev.
"Where's Trance?" Dylan asked.
"With Desicreed, they are cousins. He thinks Trance knows where the rest of
us are." Harper said from the door.
"Wonderful, how do we get out of here?" Dylan asked.
"We don't, unless we tell him where they are and the only one who knows
where the children are is Beka, Rommie and Angel. Of course we only know
where Beka is and she ain't talking." Harper said.
"Conduct." Beka said.
"What?" Everyone else said looking at her.
"Tyr and I could escape through the air conduct and one of us could get
Desicreed and the other could have Rommie move the children." Beka said
standing up.
"Beka, as much as I would like to let you go, your idea would need to be
proposed if two people went after Desicreed." Tyr said walking over to her.
"Trance can help you." Beka said.
"How can you be so sure? Do you remember how defensive Angel got when
Rommie accidentally called him 'crazy'?" Tyr asked. Beka nodded.
"Then you and Dylan can go and I will find the children." Beka said.
"And if he decides to come back here?" Harper asked.
Andromeda blinked in. "Lie to him." She said.
"Oh yea saying 'sorry Desicreed we don't know where they are' is so lying.
That is the truth." Harper snapped.
"For what it's worth. We have to try Harper. All of us." Beka said.
"I know Beka it's just that I'm worried about the children, Rommie, Angel,
and Trance already. I don't want to add you three to my list of worries. I
don't want to lose you Beka." Harper said. He was crying.
"You won't lose any of us Harper I promise I will protect your children as
if they were my own if not better." Beka said.
"Get out of here before he comes back." Harper said.
They climbed in to the conduct and went on their way. Beka split off from
Dylan and Tyr and went on her way to Rommie. Rommie already knew Beka was
coming.
"Hey Rommie how are you holding up?" Beka whispered.
"Good Shay has been up there in that stance since we got in here. The
children have been asleep the whole time." Rommie said. Beka was relived
and stayed with Rommie to help her. Angel sat in the conduct when she heard
her brother's voice and Trance protesting against him. They stopped at the
painting on the wall. He knew at least one of them was near, he could fell
the energy being used to hide their life signs. He opened the conduct and
was kicked in the face. He fell to the floor blacking out.
"So nice to see you too brother." Angel snickered as he fell to the floor.
"I didn't want to Angel. I didn't even know you were in there." Trance
said.
"I know Trance, you forget my sixth sense deal." Angel said picking her
brother up with Trance's help. As they headed down the corridor Tyr and
Dylan jumped out of one of the conduct scaring Trance and Angel making them
scream and drop Desicreed.
"Hope he wasn't coming to before that." Angel mused.
"What happened?" Tyr asked.
"I happened to kick him unconscious." Angel said as she and Trance picked
her brother back up. Dylan took over Angel's job and told them to go get
the children, and told Andromeda to have Harper and Rev go to command.
Angel opened the conduct scaring Shay and he attacked her. She put her
hands up in defeat. Shay wouldn't let Tyr near the conduct for a few
moments. Beka poked her head out of the conduct.
"Yep it's just the Calvary Rommie we can come out." Beka said.
"Shay it's ok, we have my brother tied up we are expected in command now."
Angel said. Shay nodded hugging his mother.
They all entered command. Angel walked in with two-wiggling youngsters and
a jumpy toddler getting under her feet. She nearly kicked him but stopped.
Harper took Michael and sat Shay in the pilots' chair. They contacted the
guards that were after Desicreed.
"Have you reached a decision yet?" The first guard asked.
"Actually she doesn't know of it yet. Angel what happens to your brother
now is up to you." Dylan said.
She stepped forward "I would like him to be in a high security confinement
for life. If that is possible." Angel said. The guards nodded and came over
and took Desicreed away. They were contacted when he was placed into the
confinement and they were all relieved.
