Bounties and Love

Chapter 4 following up leads and employers revealed

Author's notes I don't own Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel does.

This fic is set after GOTG Vol 2 and has one big difference from the events of the film.

I want to thank Cheion and Fenrisulven13 for proofreading this chapter and I encourage you all to read their work, you might like it.

Well's that's enough of an Author's notes, on with chapter 4.

The Chaser

Kazo Sana smiled as he heard the sounds of moaning from the holding cell and got out his chair, to check up on his bounties.

Peter woke up with a splitting headache and saw he was restrained to a wall with Gamora next to him also restrained who soon woke up.

Peter saw the bounty hunter who shot him looking at them and said "Who are you and why did you attack us!"

Gamora said before Kazo could answer "He's Kazo Sana a bounty hunter, he's known for always bringing targets alive. The only bounty hunter who does so."

Kazo said with a smile "You've heard of me. Good to see even someone raised by Thanos knows about me. You know why I bring my targets in alive?"

Getting no response, Kazo continued by saying "You see most bounty hunters when they see the bounty say either dead or alive, bring you in dead and collect the money. You get paid more to bring targets in alive. Other won't do it though. They see bringing targets in alive as too much hassle and not worth the risk. That's why I'm the best bounty hunter in the universe."

Peter then asked "Why are we here? Did the Sovereign hire you to bring us back?"

Kazo laughed and replied "My employer is offering 5 times for what the Sovereign is offering for you and my employer specifically wants you two only brought to him, alive. 5 million units for each of you. Money like that I could retire…. Not that I would, what's life without work."

Gamora demanded to know who hired the bounty hunter saying "Who hired you?"

Kazo smirked and said "You'll find out soon enough. Rest up. You'll need it for what my employer has planned for you both."

With that Kazo left and went back to the bridge.

Peter suddenly said "I'm sorry that our date ended so badly Gamora."

Gamora said "It's not our fault. Our date ended badly. I had fun. Kazo Sana ruined the date, not you."

Peter than turned to Gamora before he asked "Who do you think hired him if it wasn't the Sovereign?"

Gamira was silent for a moment before she thought of who could have hired Kazo. She had a look of fear on her face that Peter saw as he asked "What is it?"

Gamora said "My father could have hired him."

Peter himself was now afraid, being brought before The Mad Titan that would scare anyone.

Gamora then said "Thanos didn't hire Kazo. If my father wanted us alive, he'd come get us himself. Has to be someone else who hired him."

Peter asked "But who?"

Gamora gave no answer as neither of them said another word.

Xandar-Nova Corp Headquarters

Nova Prime showed the Guardians footage from near where the abduction of Gamora and Peter Quill happened. It wasn't close enough to put a face to who the attacker was, but they saw it was a man who was highly trained and a professional.

Rocket made a guess as to who the abductor was saying "It has to be Kazo Sana. We know that whoever took Gamora and Peter, took them alive. Kazo Sana is the only bounty hunter in the galaxy who takes all of his targets in alive."

Drax asked "Could the Sovereign have hired him?"

Rocket shook his head before saying "If Kazo was hired to get all of us. He would have done so. He doesn't just go after two of his targets and leave the rest unarmed."

Kraglin curious said "You run into Kazo before?"

Rocket replied "When I was first starting out as a bounty hunter before I met Groot. I was going after this Kree who was wanted for murdering a Kree governor. Kazo beat me to him and brought the man back to Kree alive and well. The man is very meticulous in his planning and very patient, he usually has local help when he does a job. The fact no surveillance closer to the abduction was working proves this. Someone in the Nova Corp is working for Kazo Sana."

Nova Prime was shocked at this statement and ordered that every Nova Corp member suspected of being corrupt be shown on surveillance for their movements over the last day.

Within an hour they had the traitor. Corpsman Makel.

Denarian Dey wasn't surprised at this revelation and said to the Guardians "He has long been suspected of being corrupt. Helping known criminals get on and get off Xandar without being detected and helping them get off the planet just as quickly."

Yondu who had been silent throughout the whole conversation said "Let me question him. I will make him tell me what he knows about Kazo and if he has any indication of where he's taking Peter and Gamora."

Nova Prime was silent for a few moments before she said "I'll allow it, but don't kill him."

Yondu smiled as he said "I won't need to."

The Chaser in orbit of Kuatal

Kazo had the ship descend into the planet's atmosphere and set a course for the Kree Outpost.

The ship landed at the hanger bay as a squad of Kree soldiers was waiting heavily armed along with the base commander. Kazo left the ship and said "I have the targets both alive and unharmed. Now my money."

One of the Kree handed Kazo a case full of 2 equal stacks on 500,000 units. Both stack was the amount of 5 million Units. Coming to a total of 1O million Units exactly."

Kazo smiled and said "Pleasure doing business with you. Gamora and Star Lord are in the holding cells."

The base commander ordered his men to go the ship, stun them and put them in a holding cell. He didn't want to take any chances of them getting away.

Once the two of them were dragged off the ship and taken to the holding cells, Kazo got back on the Chaser and left the star system. Now a much richer man.

Xandar- Nova Corp Headquarters

Corpman Makel entered the room and saw several pads on a table. Picking them up, he was shocked to see it was info on his corruption. He'd been found out. Before Kazo could leave the room, Ravager leader, Yondu Udonta entered the room as the door sealed shut behind him.

Yondu asked "Where is Kazo Sana?"

Makel played dumb and said "I don't know who that is. Why are you here? What is this about?"

Yondu said "You're a member of the Nova Corp and you've been helping criminals get on and off Xandar. Tell me what I want to know and maybe I won't make sure that word of you talking and revealing all those you've helped over the years doesn't reach Knowhere. If it does, everyone you helped will come out of hiding all looking to kill you."

Makel was petrified as Yondu said "Where's Kazo and where did he take Peter Quill and Gamora?"

Makel said "I don't know."

Yondu grabbed the man as he said "Wrong answer!" As he threw him against the wall, and then onto the table as the Corpsman said "If I tell where he is, Kazo will kill me. He's not like you. You aren't like him. And no offence but he's scarier than you."

Yondu whistled so his Yaka Arrow was at Makel's throat as he asked "Wanna bet?"

Kuatal - Kree Military base

The base commander prayed for his dead relatives when he was done. One of his men entered his room and said "The prisoners are awake sir."

The commander smiled and said "Now brother I will avenge you." As the man thought of his beloved older brother. Ronan The Accuser.
