Slavers Chapter 3:
"Where are ya takin' me?" Trip asked. He was a little annoyed at the fact that these aliens handcuffed him and took him away from his friends, and didn't even tell him where they were taking him.
"Shut up." Said Kas, who was dragging Trip along behind him.
"I was jus' wonderin' where we were goin'" Trip mumbled to himself while stumbling along.
Upon hearing this, Kas stopped, turned around, and hit Trip across the face. Then Kas turned back around and started walking, pulling Trip with him.
After five more minutes of stumbling along, they came to a stop. Trip looked around. There was a machine about five feet in front of them, it looked pretty beat up. Trip just looked at Kas, raising his eyebrows.
"Fix it." Said Kas.
"I think its beyond fixin'" Said Trip.
"Don't be a smart ass." Threatened Kas, he then uncuffed Trip and pushed him to the ground in front of the machine.
Trip got the message and got up and walked towards the machine. It appeared to be a water machine. He supposed, since they were in the desert, that they needed one. Immediately he got to work, hoping that if they saw him work without question, that they might be leenient on security.
After about 6 hours in the hot sun, Trip was exhausted. He thought it better not to take a break. He had tried it numerous times earlier and was given a kick or two, to get him moving again. As he worked, he over heard one of the aliens watching him say that he was going to get something. If there was any chance of getting out of here it was now. Trip turned around to see the other alien staring after the one that left, so he charged at it. He knocked it over and ran for his life.
Hoshi was bored. The subcommander was deeply contimplating a way out of their predicament. Elizabeth Cutler and Hoshi had tried to think of a plan themselves but could come up with nothing. Hoshi just gripped the bars in front of her and stared over at the tents around them. She was deep in the thought of her not ever returning to earth, when suddenly Commander Tucker whipped around a tent about 20 feet in front of the cage that held the female crew members. He dashed over towards the cage and stopped in front of Hoshi.
"Commander Tucker?" she asked shocked. He looked pretty beaten up. He was covered in oil and dirt and had some exposed bruises.
"Hey Hosh, look I can't talk now, I just wanted to see if you had a plan." Said Trip. So far no one in the cage besides Hoshi had seen him.
"No, what about the guys, have they come up with anything?" she asked hopefully.
"I wouldn't know, they haven't let me go back t'our cage, they're makin' me fix their water tank." He explained.
"THERE HE IS!!" screamed a voice from behind Commander Tucker.
"Aw Crap!" said Trip. The other females in the cage looked over curiously at the aliens running over, still not noticing Trip.
"Hoshi, don't worry, I'll come up with something and everything will be fine." Trip reasurred her then made a dash around the cage, with the Aliens on his heels. The other members of the crew finally took notice of Trip as he ran past them with the Kalpanans yelling curses at him as they gave chase. Hoshi smiled as they disappeared from sight. Trip could keep a upbeat attitude in even the worst situations. Trip was her friend and she just hoped they wouldn't hurt him when and if they caught him.
