"What are we doing here?" Daniel grumbled. He and Joe Ricker were out in the middle of nowhere, waiting for Lorelei, who was already nearly a half an hour late.
"She'll be here. Be patient," Joe assured him, taking a drag on a cigarette.
"Do you even know what kind of car she drives?" Daniel asked.
"I don't even know what she looks like," Joe answered, blowing a smoke ring. "I don't need to. Besides, if I don't know who she is, I can't rat her out."
Daniel understood that. The less you knew, the less the police could squeeze out of you. He learned that the hard way. Still, he was tired of waiting. "If she doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'm leaving, even if I have to leave you here," he said.
Joe glared, "Don't even think about trying to drive my car." Then said car exploded. They both ducked, covering their heads.
"What car?" Daniel asked.
Two hands swooped down and grabbed them, picking them up. Chromia smiled as she held Joe in the palm of her hand. "I came, just like I promised," she chuckled.
Shock and betrayal flooded Joe Ricker's face, "Lorelei...You?..."
"You've done well, but your services are no longer required. You're fired," Chromia said sweetly, and then shocked him until his body began to burn from the constant contact with hot lightning. She dropped his charred corpse, and then turned and carried Daniel into Fire Space. "However, you, Daniel Simmons, are expected," she chuckled, placing him gently on the ground.
For a while, Daniel Simmons was too scared to move. By the time he got his strength back, it was too late. He was trapped in Fire Space. "What do you want with me?" he asked.
"You and I have something in common," a larger figure said. Nemesis Convoy turned to regard the Human. He wasn't much, but with a little work, he would be the perfect ally. "We both want to kill the same person."
Daniel's face hardened, "Why do you care? You're just as evil as him!"
"That depends on your point of view," Nemesis Convoy said. "We are not evil. We only desire order. The Alliance is so fragile and disorganized, that it could fall apart at any moment. That your sister has been forced to marry that boy named Coby is evidence of that fact. While we can't prove it was forced, we can ensure that she is kept safe. Will you let us help you?"
"Make me an offer," Daniel said. "I don't work for free."
With his target hooked, Nemesis Convoy knew he had Daniel Simmons eating from his hand. He gave the Human a fake sincere smile, "We have gained information that could free your sister. We need you to give it to Human Liberation, and then help us force Coby to make a mistake. Do this, and not only will we free your sister, but we will also give you the power to kill Coby, and help you do it."
Daniel wasn't stupid, but his obsession to protect his sister blinded him, and made him do something that not even some of the worst criminals in galactic history would do. He held out his hand to shake and said, "Nemesis Convoy, you have a deal."
Daniel Simmons had sold his soul to someone worse than the devil.
