Another chapter up. It's kinda short, been extra busy with work and a family crisis. Will post more when I can.
Bra'don wasn't all that happy to see Trance and Harper when he came aboard the Andromeda. "What are they doing here?" he asked Dylan, as he turned to face him with a gun at his head. "You hired those two idiots to steal my slaves?"
"No, we did not," Dylan said, as he looked over at Freddie and Bubba. "They did it all by themselves."
"Then why are they here?"
"Because you kidnaped two members of my crew."
"No, I did not." Bra'don crossed his arms over his chest. "You have no proof that I did that."
"You're an idiot," Harper said, as he turned to leave. "Boss, I'm going to go work on something. I really don't want to talk to this idiot any more than I have to."
"Go ahead, Mr. Harper, and take Ms. Gemini with you. It seems that Bra'don and I are going to have to have a nice long talk."
"Okay." Harper then offered Trance his arm and they started out the room. "Come on Bubba. You can come with us. We'll let the adults fight this out."
"Sounds like a pretty good idea,' Bubba said, as he followed Trance and Harper out. "Can we get some food? I'm kinda hungry."
"Sure," Trance said, as she took up his arm. "What kinds of foods do you like?"
"Any kind." Bubba's face grew a shade red darker, the moment Trance took up his arm. "Food is really good."
"Yeah, it is." Harper shot them a smile, as they headed off to get some food. "So, Bubba, why don't you tell us more about you."
"What do you want to know?" They entered the dining hall and found some food.
"Everything," Harper said, as they sat down with some food. "So what you think of the Andromeda?"
"It's a nice ship." Bubba then began to chow down. "Much better than anything we have been in so far. Freddie keeps telling me that once we get a big enough pay off we're going to get a better ship. Maybe one like this."
"You want a war ship?" Rommie asked, as she came into the room.
"No, but something like this would be great."
"I have a question for you," Rommie started as she looked at Bubba. "You're connected to the slavers frequencies. How did you know about Trance and Harper? Who sent you the offer to buy them?"
"I don't know. Freddie woke me up the other day and told me that we had a job. All we had to do was to grab them and take them to a set of coordinates. Basic routine for us. Grab, hand over, grab the money, and take off."
"Sounds like a pretty harsh way to live life."
"Yeah, it is, but it's life."
