Chapter Nine

“Your Highness, that ship has increased speed and we are incapable of catching it,” Dreden announced.

“Fire more missiles before it moves out of range!!”

Zee looked at the wall monitor and smiled, “Fin, are you capable of taking out those missiles?”

“I can easily handle a much larger number than those.”

“Please remove them.” Cerelle stared at the monitor and saw multiple blaster beams reaching out toward the incoming missiles and that beam didn’t miss. She began to realize that her aunt wanted her dead. But what about Zee? What was he going to do?

“That ship destroyed every missile Your Highness and it’s moving quickly away.”

“Vector the other ships ahead of that ship’s course and have them spread out. Don’t lose it!” Karelle lifted her communicator and said, “Mr. Rowe, I have seventeen additional warships cutting off your escape. It doesn’t have to end this way; simply give me the princess and we can go on our separate ways.”

Zee smiled, “You’ll forgive me for not believing you. You’ve demonstrated you aren’t capable of keeping an agreement.”

“Surely we can work this out.”

Zee paused and said, “What are you suggesting?”

“Well, I need the princess to uhhh…disappear.”

“You mean you want her dead!”

“Those words sound so harsh.”

“But that is what you want, isn’t it?”

“What if I added some funds to our agreement to make that happen. You’re a business man and there’s a good bonus if you will.”

“How much?” Zee asked while staring at Cerelle. Cerelle’s eyes flew wide open.

“I will add an additional fifty million credits to your remaining fee.”

“And you will direct deposit it immediately?”

“Yes.”

Zee looked at Cerelle and said, “Deposit the funds.”

Karelle turned to her console and transferred the funds. She looked up at Zee and said, “The funds are in your account. Bring me the princess.”

“You don’t listen very well; I will not be moving in range of your weapons.”

“I’ll need proof that you’ve removed her!”

Zee picked up a blaster and activated his helmet. It covered his head and he said, “Activate the video feed on this frequency, Fin.” Karelle appeared on his monitor and he said, “I’m removing the device the princess has been using to block her thoughts.”

Cerelle immediately thought, “DON’T DO THIS KARELLE! I’LL LEAVE AND NEVER GO BACK TO THE CRADLE! PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!!”

Karelle looked at Zee and said, “Do it!”

Zee put a hand on Cerelle’s shoulder and the blaster up against Cerelle’s head as he said, “You should have kept your mouth shut!” as he pulled the trigger on the blaster. Smoke rose from the side of Cerelle’s head as it fell to the side.

Karelle heard Cerelle’s thoughts suddenly stop and she smiled. Zee went to his chair and ended the video feed. “I’m taking off my helmet and I don’t want you to record my appearance.” Zee smiled and said, “I noticed before I turned off the video feed that you’re pressing buttons on your console.”

“What of it?”

“Well, if you’re attempting to removed the funds you just deposited into my account, you’ll find that isn’t possible.
