Captain jay threw his duffel bag into the boot of his car as it pulled up at the water gate, two mins early. He then removed his pack from his back and climbed into the back seat, putting the pack at his feet.
“We leave from the Military Port”
“Ok” Benny said, as he eased the car back onto the traffic.
“You will need to get your credentials up on your comms for the checkpoint,” said Jay.
It was a quiet drive to the port, traffic wasn’t too bad and they made great time.
When they pulled the car up out the front of the workshop near the port, Bunny was there waiting for them, she wrapped Captain Jay into a big hug, shocking Kat and Benny.
“Come on, grab your stuff – this way.” said Bunny
Jays team grabbed their bags, packs and Tilly had a case Jay supposed she had filled with explosives. They followed Bunny into the ship she had commandeered. They got a quick tour and met the pilot/navigator, Ryder. It was an older model ship, but it had been very well looked after. It had a one-man transit pod and a bigger six-man Transit pod in its hull. The lounge was part of the cockpit so that would be where they would be most of the time. Bunny had made sure the kitchen was well stocked and their private sleeping quarters were comfortable.
They were ready to go.
Once they were clear of the city’s airspace, Captain Jay told Ryder to set their course for Planet S610.
Day 2The next morning Kat was greeted by Beeves and Boris in the Princesses apartments. Kat had done the night shift and they were to watch the Princess during the day while Kat got some sleep. The Princess was going to visit her Father this morning and all three of them would go as her protection. News had finally come in late last night that her father was out of surgery, but wasn’t out of the woods yet. His recovery would take months if he were to pull through. It had already been arranged that the Princess would go and see her Father at 9.20 this morning. Shimel had greeted Kat with a coffee and she had just finished it when the boys arrived.Boris greeted Kat with “Oh gosh Kat, you look like . .”“I don’t want to hear it” Kat cut in, just to let the boys know she was still sharp, despite how she must look.“Morning” the women both welcomed. The boys now just a bit wary of them, blushed a bit.
They were almost finished their lunch when the surveillance system chimed. Immediately, the boys, got up. Beeves went to see the feeds and Boris to the front door. “Someone is coming to your door,” said Beeves, he picked up the device and held it out to Rota so she could identify the person.“Oh No,” said Rota “Its my Uncle Octave, My Fathers brother. Oh I didn’t expect him here for at least another two days. He normally drags his feet when coming here.”“Did you want us to turn him away?” asked BeevesThere was a knock on the door.“I would like that but no its better to just get this over and done with”Shimel got up at once and took all their unfinished plates from the table “Uncle Octave won’t think it proper, the help eating with a Princess” she said in a mocking tone and put them in the butlers pantry. She then hurried down the hall closing all the doors.
Kat awoke at 5pm after a restful sleep. Oh how she needed that. She checked her comm, there were a couple of messages but none urgent. So she ordered some dinner to be sent over and hit the shower while she waited. Refreshed, dressed and hot meal in front of her she decided to check her messages. There was one from Boris about Rota being visited by her uncle Octave, who was by all accounts trying to get Rota to step away from the crown so he could rule while her Father recovered. He also mentioned his reaction to Lacy’s comment about him next in line to the throne if anything happened to her. Octave also carried an ornate knife on his lower left leg, which had blood on it. There were photos of the knife too. It was swabbed and will be sent to the lab.There was a couple of replies and thoughts on the note she had put up about the trajectory of the Kings shooter.Then she came across a message from her superior giving her a heads up about Octave’s request fo
Day 3Jay was woken up at 4am in the morning by an alarm on his comm. Report to cockpit. Was all it saidHe jumped up and dressed in a hurry and met Tilly heading in the same direction. Benny, and Ryder were already there."What's going on?" said JayRyder started to explain "I have been watching another ship going in the same direction that we are. It appears to be a newer ship with a much higher speed that what his old girl can hold. I have been making our course look like we could have been heading to two other planets at once but this ship ever since I noticed it has been heading directly to Planet S610""I don't have a good feeling about this" said bunny as she entered the room with a tray containing coffee for everyone."Oh Bunny" said Benny almost groaning in delight "you do know the way to a man's heart. . . Jay can we keep her""Careful Benny, she is a wild thing that can't be tamed" Jay warned
“Captain Jay of the Palace guard of Ziion, me and my team are on an undercover mission in relation to the Kings recent assignation attempt. We are on our way to your planet, when we noticed another ship also heading there. We are unsure of its purpose but if its in connection to our case it could be to harm or kidnap one of you trainees.“Can you release the person’s identity”There was a pause“Where you the person who knew our code”“Yes I served in the Ziion Military, and still call Ziion home and King Levis my King”“Ok that’s good enough for me. We have only one source but we believe on your Planet, you have a missing princess, she is a twin to Princess Rota”“Mia” said Alex looking to Dora, Dora’s eyes widened. As they both thought through her circumstances it made sense, she even had similar featured to the king”“Yes it does make se
Dora watched as the smaller ship landed in the docking area. Four men got out in completely black armoured gear with as many weapons as would fit on a body. They confidently strode up to the door.Dora gave an update. “Four men, full battle armour, completely black with lots of weapons”“What is your business on Planet S610,” Dora askedOne of the men with a confident smile took a step closer, he opened his mouth then the smile faded as Dora’s gift started to pull words he didn’t intend to use towards his mouth.“We are here to kill the Princess” The man replied, his men looked at him shocked.“How many men do you have?”He was starting to sweat now “15 plus a pilot”“What is your plan of attack?” One of the men pushed him out of the way and stood in his way, only to answer the question instead. “We have sent two other ships to the north exit and
With his left hand holding his rifle wrapped around her waist and his right hand over her mouth, he leaned his back against the inside of the cupboard for stability. The cupboard door on his left. He froze, trying to hear how far away the other team was. It was pitch black it there. Mia started to struggle, he just realised she didn’t know who he was. “Shhh,” he whispered, straight into her ear, I won’t hurt you. Her body shivered involuntary, then she tried to elbow him in the ribs, but lucky for him it was only half a blow because of the tight confines of the cupboard. He then felt her hand move down his leg to where his hand gun was. Oh that would not end well, “Mia” he whispered, he could feel her body tense. Oh yes it was Mia alright. “Its Jay, from the second” He whispered into her ear again, her body shivered again, “can I remove my hand” She nodded, “Another team came in behind me” he took his right hand from her mouth slowly. “Do you trust me?” Jay asked, th
They exited the cupboard slowly, allowing their eyes to adjust to the light again. They headed back down the corridor they had just come from. They passed the man Mia had taken out with a kick and elbow, her gun was on the ground near him. She must have dropped it in the attack. He was still alive but wouldn’t be coming around anytime soon. She had got him good. Jay kicked the weapons from him, “did you want your gun, or will you use mine.”Mia thought “yours” Jay nodded and they continued.They stopped at the next man, or the lead man. He had been shot straight between the eyes. Jay removed his vest. “Take your vest off. This will offer you more protection, not to mention more weapons.” Mia did it quickly. “Crack shot” he said to her. She was trying not to look at the man, she blushed. He helped her tighten the straps so it wasn’t too loose on her. “Ok?” he asked“Ok” she replie
