Chapter 6
"Bongo please, you have to get him out of here. He is following me like a little puppy, and I'm assuming that he told you what he did to me!" Beksa screamed at Bongo down the telephone. She was trying not to draw attention to herself on the grounds that she was standing in the middle of Mimas in her pyjamas yelling down a public telephone. She felt that if people saw her like this, her reputation of a well-respected test pilot would drop considerably. "I'm sorry Beksa, but I can't chuck Ace out, he is our best guy, and his contract with 'Hello!' magazine doesn't run out for at least five more years" Bongo was trying to stay calm. He couldn't let Beksa make him chuck Ace out, he really couldn't. "Tranter, please. I really hate him, if you don't get rid of him then I'll just have to leave, or get transferred again. And I've only been here a week. That's not good is it!" and she slammed down the phone.
*****A while later*****
Beksa pulled her wardrobe door open and grabbed some comfy clothes, shoving them into a bag. She'd decided that she wouldn't need much where she was going. She left a message on her answer phone explaining where she was, and left her key under her pillow. She wasn't going to come back here - ever if time allowed.
She arrived at the Space Corps Building just as Ace arrived. He spotted her, and followed her to the ship depot. He hid behind a bin, and watched her carefully. He saw her walking around looking at the ships in the yard. This seemed normal for her, she liked wandering around here. Beksa wandered round the back of one of the ships, and she disappeared. Ace decided that he would just leave her be. She wasn't doing any harm. But then, she did something that made him gasp. He saw that she had climbed up into his very own personal ship 'Wildfire III' and turned on the engine. Making everyone stop and stare. Ace looked up and saw Bongo looking out of his window. "Why was she doing this?" Ace asked himself "She could've asked and I'd have taken her out for a spin and I would have done. What is she doing?"
Beksa had found the perfect ship. Ace refused to fly any other ship other than Wildfire. She looked out of the window and saw Ace. Switching on the radio communication, she sent one final message to the Space Corps - "Don't bother with the kipper, I'm not back for breakfast or any other meal!" and flipped a finger at Ace. He watched her take off, and sail into the sky, with all his possetions on board.
Beksa looked back at the Earth, totally ignoring the incoming transmission from Bongo, and switched on hyper-drive. Flattened back in her seat, she watched the universe zoom past her, and she entered another Dimension.
