The cell door swung shut heavily, leaving Rettoul on the concrete bunk.

***

Bar’s Kaiser touched down silently on the landing strip. No guard received him—just the warden and Kantara’s deputy commander, who enjoyed Bar’s visits and didn’t care about the reason for them—it wasn’t important to him. He had few opportunities to promote Kantara or escort one of the galaxy’s leaders, and Bar was considered one of the most senior generals and commanders in the galaxy. Kantara’s deputy commander welcomed his good fortune despite the early hour. Any other hour would have required endless preparations and increasing tension that would certainly have kept not only him, but everyone on the entire planet, awake. The fear and desire to please Bar would have taken over everything, and at this time of the day Bar wouldn’t really pay attention to the overall cleanliness, the condition of the paths, or even the soldiers’ uniforms. Bar was only interested in the fugitive, the greatest fighter of all times—Rettoul—who was imprisoned on the planet. There was no greater privilege than that.

Kantara’s deputy commander had ordered some 50 snipers to be positioned to protect Bar. With all respect, this Rettoul did belong to a gang of criminals whose power was no less than the best forces in the galaxy. It would be a disaster if a hair from Bar’s beard were to fall during a Kantaran visit.

Besides, as a devoted fan of the detective series in the intra-lunar screening system, Kantara’s deputy commander assumed his people would succeed in the invisible task, managing to accompany Bar to the jail and back without being noticed, for Bar had asked that no one to be around except for the prison commander and him. My brother, the warden, the deputy commander thought as he rubbed his hands, will have something to boast about. Well done, Rettoul, for coming to us and not making things too hard…

Bar didn’t waste time with unnecessary questions. It was nearly six o’clock in the morning; the sky was clear, but the sun hadn’t yet appeared. It was clearly difficult for him to get out of bed so early and that was enough to irritate him. His face was grim. “He’s here?” Part question, part statement.

Kantara’s deputy commander nodded and couldn’t utter a word.

The prison head added, “I believe we will find the hero unheroic.”

Bar looked at him blankly and the prison head continued. “Although he fought us, there was no problem bringing him here. Our good people simply made him walk into the prison. He realized the game was up.”

“No one messes with me,” flared Bar. Everyone fell silent and walked in oppressive silence toward the prison.

At Bar’s request, no one was waiting for them at the prison and, in fact, no one saw them enter. The prison commander disengaged the laser beam and opened the closed gates and doors. They passed all the doors until they reached Rettoul’s cell.

“Would my Lord like the honor?” the prison commander asked Bar.

“Drop the nonsense. Open the door already!” demanded Bar and the door opened.
