Again thanks for the waiting and the reviews. Let me know what you like about the story and ideas I'm so open for ideas and feedback. Thanks)

Chapter four:

"Leo, look what I've found," A man pointed toward the window. Leo leaned in. He laughed below his breath. "Dumb ass that's only a mere carrier ship it ain't worth shit," The other man turned around ticked off. "It's not what it's worth it's what it's caring that is worth anything." Leo thought for a minute. It's been a while since the pirates terrorized a ship and this would prove to the King of Anakas that they were worthy enough to work for him again. Any ship was better then none, even if it was a mere carrier ship. "Alright, it'll do," Leo turned around to face the rest of the crew. "Get ready guys we have a ship to rob and possibly people to kill."

Harper leaned back in his chair putting the ship on auto. Orion was asleep in the sea next to him. Harper unbuckled his son and lifted him up to put him in one of the bunks in the back. He set him down and returned to the cockpit. It seemed peaceful and quiet but in space sometimes that's not what it seemed. He began to fall asleep but a shaking of the ship woke him up.

He heard some thumping coming from the roof of the ship. He quickly grabbed his gun and headed to the back locking the bunk door to protect his son. He watched as the cockpit door spun opened and a figure slid in followed by some others. Harper charged his gun as he heard some shuffling in the cockpit. Instincts took over and he found himself creeping to the front. About three largely built men snooped through things.

"Hey Leo, I think found something other then shit," One of them lifted up a pack of gems Harper purchased for a new invention he was working on. Anger flashed in his eyes. "Eh not much but it'll do," Leo slowly turned and was greeted with a whack in the face. He fell back rubbing his cheek. He shook his head and looked up to see a small man with a steel gun in his right hand. "You bloody-"

"Mudfoot, yeah that always seems to be my name at a moment like this," Harper answered. The man pulled himself up and stood towering over him. Harper shuddered a little as he backed off. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea," he muttered below his breath. "Leo," The one with the gems stood up from the trunk he was going through. "It's alright Charlie, looks like this 'mudfoot' wants a beating," Harper's eyes grew wide. The third man began to sneak to the back where Orion was asleep. "Oh I don't think so," without thinking Harper turned and fired his gun. "Don't even think about going back there," He snarled. The laser shot through the third one's hand. Before Harper could react Leo wrapped his hands around Harper's neck chocking him. "Better think before you act Mudfoot." Leo laughed as Harper gasped for air. Leo threw the man against the wall.

Harper quickly got up with a right hook across Leo's face. Leo stumbled back once again as Harper gave him a straight kick in the chest. Leo let out a gasp as the blow affected his breathing. He had his back towards Harper who abandon him and went to take care of Charlie. A big mistake on his part, Leo thought as he pulled himself up. He turned and made his way behind Harper.

Harper gave Charlie an upper punch almost breaking his chin. He felt good about himself, but that wasn't about to last. Two strong hands wrapped themselves around his neck. Harper felt himself gasping again as he kicked. Harper was thrown hard against the wall. He dragged himself to his feet but was met with a blow to the head making him back down as Leo kept on pounding him. "Greg head to the back, see what this pathetic human is hiding," The third man, Greg, nodded as he began to head to the bunks. "NOOOOO," Harper coughed. "Don't hurt him." "Shut up," Leo slapped him across the face with the gun knocking him out.

************************************************************************

"Daddy," Orion pulled the covers off of him. He slid off the bed and stood next to the door. It wouldn't open. "Daddy," he whispered. He heard Pounding coming from the cockpit. "Don't hurt him," He heard his father yell. Orion pressed his ear against the door. Some footsteps were getting closer and Orion felt it necessary to hide. He ran toward the closet and got into a huge crate and covered himself with some satin blankets Beka had kept in there. He listened and limited his breathing as his mother taught him. He heard the door slid open and the footsteps entered the room.

************************************************************************

"Hey lookie what I found," Leo turned away from the bloody human and faced the opening of the cockpit. "A box? What the hell are we going to do with a box," "It's not the box boss it's what's inside. Satin and spice." Leo smiled. "Satin and spice," "Yep" "Alright so you're not a total idiot. Let's go before he wakes up."
