Chapter 2

Adam woke up to some one pounding on his door "wake up" he heard Teela yell, "I'm coming" Adam yelled back getting dressed "well hurry up I want to go to my father's lab to help find out who attacked him" Adam walked over to the door and opened it to find a tired looking Teela standing outside "you look tired" he said to her "I'm fine" she said angrily turning and walking off to her fathers lab Adam didn't say anything as he caught up and walked with her.

Duncan was just crossing the courtyard outside the infirmary to his lab when he bumped into a tired and angry looking Teela he looked at Adam who just shrugged and winced as a twinge of pain shot up his bad arm "are you all right father?" Teela asked him "I'm fine" he replied "come lets see if our thief left us anything" "ok" Adam said following Man-At-Arms with Teela, they headed to his lab, as they approached Duncan could see Ryan talking to Drax and D'lyn, he frowned wondering were the other man was that the king had ordered was when he saw Ryan signal and Dagon stepped out of the bushes they were approaching it was a good tactic he thought any one would concentrate on the three by the door and would attack them revelling there position only to be taken down by Dagon and his rifle.

Adam saw Duncan frown when they approached Ryan, he could tell he was wondering were the other man his father had ordered was, just as he was about to point out the movement he'd spotted in the bushes Ryan signalled with his hand and Dagan stepped out, Adam smirked when he saw Teela's surprise "shouldn't a captain of the guard be ready for anything?" he teased, Teela turned an angry face to him "why don't you go and talk with cringer maybe he can show you how to be a better coward" "not now" Man-At-Arms said before Adam could think of a reply "any trouble last night?" Man-At-Arms asked Ryan "no there's been nothing all night" the guardsman replied "okay you four should get some sleep were going to take a look inside" Man-At-Arms said heading inside Adam followed with a still angry Teela.

Three hours later Teela was even angrier they'd been all over the lab with every type of scanner and still hadn't found anything "we should have found something by now" she said throwing a spanner across the room in frustration "calm down "her father said placing an arm on her shoulder "besides any thief stupid enough to leave evidence around would be in prison by now" Adam said sarcastically from across the room Teela looked at him about to reply with retort of her own "you should get some breakfast Teela you go on duty in a half hour" Man-At-Arms said, Teela gave Adam an angry look before turning and leaving.

"Where do you think we should start looking?" Adam said walking up to Man-At-Arms "any thief this good shouldn't be that hard to identify there aren't that many people who could have done all this and left no trace, finding them though could be tricky" "what about the scum cluster near the dark mountains in the dark hemisphere" Adam asked "that's possible all the best mercenaries, assassins, thieves and bounty hunters go there to heal and re-arm between jobs" Duncan said "not to mention get drunk, brag and sleep with any thing remotely female" Adam joked "so what now?" he asked Man-At-Arms "we can't just walk in there Selector would pay a lot of money for either of us" "what about the regular army uniforms they have helmets that cover the faces, we could pretend to be soldiers fed up working for the king out to make some decant money" Adam suggested "well have to fine tune it a bit if we both suddenly disappear someone might get suspicious" just as Adam was about to reply that new guard with the funny name no one could remember came in "forgive the intrusion your highness but the king said to ask you and Man-At-Arms to see him in the audience room" Adam sighed thinking he was in for another lecture "come on" Man-At-Arms said leading the way followed by an unhappy looking Adam.

Teela was just sitting down to breakfast when the king got up to leave "please come to the audience chamber when your done" he asked "yes your majesty" she replied wondering what he wanted, she ate quickly then left for the audience chamber she bumped into her father and Adam on the way "hello Teela" he greeted "shouldn't you be on duty?" he asked "the king wanted to see me" "what about?" Adam asked, "don't know" "we should go" Duncan said heading off.

Adam was still worried his father was going to lecture him when they reached the audience chamber, as they went in Adam saw a very tied looking Ryan standing in front of his mother and father he greeted them "so father what do you want?" he asked only just being polite "I was just telling Ryan about the problems with bandits in the east, I want you, Teela and Duncan to go with him and find out why they are so active in that area" "But-"Adam was protesting when Duncan interrupted "well leave in an hour"

He said throwing a warning glance at Adam "we should all go and pack our stuff" he said leaving, Teela and Ryan both left followed leaving a frowning Adam to wonder what Man-At-Arms plan was he, left after saying good by to his concerned mother and his father had told him stand and fight with the others if it was necessary and not to be afraid Adam just gave him an angry look and went to find Duncan.

Duncan was digging through old army uniforms in an old storeroom when Adam found him "so what's the plan?" he asked Duncan turned to him "once we get far enough away from the palace you can change into this old uniform it should fit you then head to the scum cluster, ill cover for with the others" "wont that leave you short?" Adam asked "no I spoke to Ryan just after we left and told him to bring Drax, D'lyn and Dagon with him, you best go and pack and bring cringer with you it will look suspicious if you leave him here" "ok I had better go and pack then" he said leaving just as he got to the door Duncan said to be careful the scum cluster was full of murders and back stabbers he just smiled and said it couldn't be worse than the royal court.
