Chapter 5
Guess what. We got to the planet and the ambassador was unavailable and would be so for another 3 months. Surprise surprise. I think even Dylan might be starting to suspect that there is something wrong with this picture. Maybe we will finally be able to do this my way, that is to go in there, bring the Ambassador back to Andromeda and keep him there until he confesses to everything. I doubt Rommie would disagree with that plan but Dylan…
"No way."
"Why not?"
"It could cause a major diplomatic incident!"
"They locked you all up in a secret base paid for by the government. I don't think they will be that worried about diplomatic niceties."
See I can do puppy eyes too if I have to. He has to give in, he can't be that cold hearted.
"Fine but make the extraction quiet, and don't hurt him. Take Harper along."
I can do quiet I thought as I turned around and almost ran towards the Maru. Lets see how long you want to talk for now Mr Ambassador.
"We know it was you who ordered us to be locked p so you might as well admit it."
"…"
"So you can talk for hours at a time but cant make one tiny confession?"
"…"
"Please just make a confession so Dylan can do whatever he decides to do to you and I can get off duty."
"…"
"Fine be like that."
That sounded a little childish even to me but I didn't really care anymore.
When we got back to the Andromeda Rommie was standing to meet us smiling.
"I cracked the code."
"And…"
"The money eventually leads straight back to the Hadr military. The facility is apparently just a high security prison. They wanted to keep us there as they thought that the commonwealth would be a threat to the leading party's rule. We don't even need the Ambassador the evidence is all right there."
Then Dylan walked in.
"Thanks for bringing in the Ambassador but I did tell you it wasn't really necessary. You can go off duty now. I can handle it on my own from here."
Finally I can just rest. Mmm this pillow is so soft I can at last get some much-needed sleep.
"Beka wake up there's an emergency!"
