The Latitude in Route to the Coalition -Day 356- Damian

Our transport had never felt so small before. Kendric had assured me that Bree wasn't a threat. Even Natasha had made it clear that she wasn't to be left behind. I still didn't like it. She was different. Different usually caused damage in my experience. She seemed to sense my discomfort and tried to stay out of my way. Unfortunately, it seemed that Kendric felt the need to keep her company.

He was the gifted one, so I had always tried to protect him. I wanted to protect him now from this Norm. We only knew what she told us, and what Kendric sensed. But if he was becoming intrigued by this Norm he may miss some signs of danger. I also knew it would be counterproductive to say anything at this point. The ship was too small to keep anyone separate.

Instead I focused on piloting us to the rendezvous point. We were out about two days from Wyatt when I noticed a ship trailing our path. I made a course change and waited to see if they followed. When they did, I sent a secure vid to Patrice. The last thing we needed was to bring trouble to the Coalition.

"It could very well be someone trying to collect Natasha and the bounty on her." Patrice agreed. "I know of some bounty hunters nearby who would help us. They don't hold with slavery. Almost had my head when they thought Surry was my slave." She chuckled. "If they collect you first the others will have to honor that."

"And if they don't have honor?” I asked.

"The Waylay and its crew are well equipped." She replied. "Stay on your current heading. I'll contact you when it's arranged."

I didn't look forward to telling the others about the change of plans. And what if Bree was the reason we were being followed? Natasha had told me about how they got off the ship they were stowaways on. It seemed that Bree would be seen on security recordings, not Natasha. And Patrice was going to trust us to bounty hunters? Although the mine we escaped from went out of business after losing its’ slaves, I didn't doubt that there would be a price for Kendric and I somewhere. I wanted to remain at the helm and keep this all to myself, but this ship was too small to keep anything secret for long.

Natasha apparently heard the vid. She sat down in the co-pilot seat, took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back. I never wanted to cause trouble. "

"Go back to being a slave! Do you miss the beatings and degradation?" I said angrily. How could anyone willingly go back to anything like what I had experienced?

"It was never like that for me. Yes, there was degradation and loneliness. But my Master never beat me." She said.

"Well then our experiences have been very different up to this point. Do you really think you will continue to avoid beatings or worse after running?" I demanded.
