Chapter 25

“You did what? How could you? They’re more than likely listed as deserters! What the fuck were you thinking?” I yelled, people cringed, and I paced, talking to myself.

We had left my grandparents to their packing, but it may not have mattered. I won’t have enough time to do jack shit. My grandfather was skeptic about me finding out a damn thing. Grandmother seemed to like that this was going down. I figured she was bored and wanted to get the hell off of Athena. If I found the people responsible, that was a bonus in her eyes.

“Most of you need to be on the Claymore and go for a ride,” I snapped. “Leave the shuttle here for me, Nedra and Harry. Take Imelda with you. I don’t know when she will get to eat again, that is unless I find some of the people I’m looking for. Then she might.”

“Where should we go?” Lorelei asked. “We shouldn’t travel too far away from you and the others.”

“There are two moons orbiting an uninhabited planet. They are called the Scarab Moons. One has a population and a militia, but the other was mostly uninhabited when I was there years ago. Imelda could roam free and hunt and you wouldn’t be weeks away.”

“Yes, I see it here,” Lorelei said. “It should work perfectly, provided you don’t take forever doing these dark deeds you plan on doing.”

“No worries, I am going to forgo the long, slow, painful death for the quick killing. I’m still pissed at you, Captain.”

“So, go have fun and you’ll get over it,” Lorelei said.

“Get everyone together in the hold and let’s get this worked out. You may have to leave without clearance from the port authority. If you request permission, you’ll be screwed.”

I left the bridge and walked back to the rear of the ship. It wasn’t long before they all arrived. I just waited quietly while they walked in until everyone was present.

“Matt, Bill, Snake, Ronnie, Shawna, Genius, Lorelei, Natalia and Imelda need to leave as soon as possible,” I told them all. “Buddy, Grubb, Adam, and Blue Eyes — your choice. Go with them or stay here. Harry, Nedra, and Taz, you’re here with me, unless your business is finished with the president, Taz, then you should go with them.”

“I’m not going,” Natalia said.

“Neither am I,” Taz agreed.

“I’m going to go,” Buddy said.

“Me too,” Grubb added.

“And me,” Adam said. “It will be easier and safer if there are fewer of you when the shooting starts.”

“I would like to stay,” Blue Eyes said.

“Why do you think it will be better, Adam?” I asked.

“This location is already compromised, if my guess is correct,” he answered. “Even with those two, you will still be able to hide out easier if you don’t have a dozen of us to keep up with. Keep the shuttle close at hand and even their size won’t be a factor.”

“What about me, Benjamin?” Binda asked.

“Sorry,” I told her, “it dawned on me while I was putting this together that I want you to stay and be our pilot.
