I know I haven't updated in a while (a really long while) but I'm not all to busy now and I figured I better at least try and finish this thing out cause if I don't it'll bug the crap out of me... It's good to be on the internet again.. :sigh:
Chapter 12: Getting there
Keira took a deep breath and seated herself next to Klia and Sig on the transport, she glanced up at the 3 other guards sitting across from them and then looked back down at the ground clasping her hands together.
Two of the guards started up their own conversation, talking about things that had happened to them will on duty and so forth and so on. Keira, Sig, and Klia whispered quietly between themselves every once in a while. The third guard who sat in the corner near the exit however, remained silent with his arms folded across his chest.
Keira shifted uneasily, although she couldn't see his eyes, she could fell his gaze on her and it gave her the creeps. Finally she couldn't take it any more and looked his directly in the eyes. "What is your problem?" She asked annoyed.
The guard didn't answer her, but she could continue to feel his gaze. "Hellllo?" She said angrily waving her hand in front of her face. "are you going to answer me?"
The man still refused to answer her, "Fine then." Keira said folding her arms across her chest.
While fuming, she saw the man chuckling out of the corner of her eye, but stopped herself from saying anything else, she figured she was already causing enough of a scene.
"Hey." Torn said after about another 30 minutes as he turned around to tap on the glass sheeting that separated the cockpit for the back, "We're here."
The transport the proceeded to land on the sandy surface and the occupants exited and where met by Damus.
"What's this?" he asked as soon as they had exited the transport, "Last I recalled Haven City wanted nothing to do with those in the Wastelands."
"The Grand Council has felt it necessary to send a gift of green eco and eco ore…" Torn started but was cut off.
"In return for information I'm sure."
"Yes." Torn replied.
"Haven Cities fate is no longer of any concern to any of us here. Out here everything is either useful or dead weight, and we don't have time to have pity on those who can not survive." Damus replied turning his back to them and proceeding to walk off.
"Wait!" Klia yelled after him followed by Keira.
"Do you know where Jak is?" Keira asked.
"The newcomer?" Damus questioned, "Proving himself. You are welcome to stay and wait until he returns…" He paused a moment, "If he returns."
"Wh-what is that supposta mean!" Klia and Keira both asked at the same time, but Damus ignored them and continued to walk away.
"Here." Torn said tossing a communicator to Keira, "Radio in when you're ready to come back, we've got to get this back to the city before the council throws a fit."
"Ok." She replied softly as the others began to reboard the transport and take off.
"Don't worry chilly pepper," Sig said patting her on the back, "he'll be fine."
"I hope so." Keira replied.
