The tall, blonde man sighed and looked down at his watch for the second time that hour. 1:31 PM. He had sent the robot an hour ago to retrieve the kids and bring them back here. Where was it? Looking around the clearing, he sighed with relief as the robot flew in and dropped the bag at his feet. " You stupid robot, what took you"? The poor little robot opened its mouth to answer, but the man snapped his fingers and two huge robots came out of the ship and grabbed the other robot's arms. "Scrap him " the man showed no regret in his decision as he watched the two huge robots carry the small one off into the ship, screaming all the way. Bending down, he picked up the bag and hurled into the back of the ship like it was a sack of potatoes. Then he walked slowly to the front of the ship and with one huge leap, jumped into the driver's seat of the ship and took off into space.

Sasami sighed as she crawled out of the small panel behind Washu's aging machine, a wrench tightly in her right hand. Wiping the oil off her face with a small rag, Sasami stopped and poked her head out of the door of Washu's dimensional door. The kids were still watching television quietly on the couch. Smiling she closed the door and went back to work, unaware of the danger going on around her.

The small brown bag slid across the tile floor and hit the wall hard as the ship took off into space. As the bag hit the wall on the other side of the ship, the rope that was holding the bag closed, slipped and opened the bag, freeing Tenchi and the other kids. Moving quietly past the guards gambling nearby, they made their way to the door and out onto the ship.

The man smiled widely as he sat back in the huge chair, holding a glass of wine tightly in his right hand. As he raised the glass to his lips and sipped the wine, his eyes wandered to the screen sitting nearby him. The kids passed onto the main monitor screen, he spit the wine out of his mouth and crushed the glass with one of his bare hands. " How did those brats escape"? He jumped out of his chair in a rage, and made his way down to the storage unit. As soon as he saw the guards gambling and the empty bag two feet from them, he raised his gun, and a massacre occurred. Blood splattered the floor and Josh blew the smoke from the end of the gun barrel. Then he turned to the scared huddle of guards behind him " Find them..Now!!" . The guards were off like a flash of light, and Josh just stood there, a smirk on his face.

That's all for Chapter 3! Thanks to everyone who had reviewed this story so far!
