CHAPTER 20

Connor hadn’t seen a soul since waking up in this small cell. Judging by how stiff he felt, he’d been out for quite a while, and he didn’t think he was still at the embassy as the walls of his cell were stone, rather than plascrete. Apart from the single bed frame with a woefully thin mattress on which he lay, the room was empty. The view from the small barred ‘window’ wasn’t inspiring, all he could see was a patch of manicured grass at eye level and the shadows of trees about thirty feet away. He’d tried calling out the window earlier, but all that had produced was a threat from a patrolling guard with a stun baton. At least it wasn’t particularly cold.

There were no washing facilities in the cell, just a bucket in the corner that he’d already had to use. He felt damp, dirty, and unkempt. The last time he hadn’t washed or changed his uniform for this long was during survival training, and he’d hated it for that very reason. He mentally added his dirty and dishevelled state to the list of things he needed Tamas and his nephew to pay for. There was no doubt in his mind that he’d be exacting retribution, it was only a matter of time.

The light from the window continued to fade until the light filtered into his cell from the grate in the heavy wooden door, was brighter than the moonlight. It was enough to see vague shapes, but little else. Peering through the grate had revealed an equally bland corridor, made of the same grey stone blocks that made up the walls of his cell.

After searching the room for possibly a full hour he concluded that escape, without help, or a mistake by a guard, was unlikely. The only thing he could do was lie back on the damp bed, try to ignore the smell of his own urine in the bucket and conserve energy. He passed the time by considering what he knew about the situation and keeping a ‘virtual’ eye on Chesara via their paired implants.

From the readout, Chesara wasn’t unduly stressed, a little apprehensive maybe, but not in pain or frightened. He was at a loss to figure out why Tamas would go to the trouble of angering the entire Federation, just to keep Chesara for a year. Even if they did co-operate fully with Tamas’ plan, neither of them were likely to see the Apollo again.

What the rebel Kalzirians had done, kidnapping a valuable Federation asset wouldn’t go unpunished. The evidence he and Chesara could provide would provide an airtight case, so the likelihood they’d survive to testify was low to completely non-existent.

Connor hadn’t let Tamas know his plan had a fatal flaw; the Apollo wouldn’t take the word of planetary officials that the ambassadors wouldn’t be returning. Even if they’d been reported dead, the Apollo would need bodies to verify. Even dead, they had significant value to the Federation, Chesara for research, and him for the Garian implant.
