Capítulo 7: Escaping on A Space Cruiser
The interior of this small cruiser always had its impact on James, who found it strange to describe something this big by the word small.
He knew the name came in comparison with the big mighty cruiser out there in space, but he didn't accept this fact deep inside his soul. Every time he stepped into one of these small cruisers, he felt how small he was, and how huge these cruisers were.
The model of this cruiser was the grandon 208, which was very famous for rogue space adventurers. This model was light, fast, spacious, and the most important of all… cheap!
James walked into the main hall of this cruiser, which was usually called the heart, as he found this cruiser crew standing there looking at him. They were around 10 people from different races, but none was human.
James stood there motionless as he said nothing, his mind was chaotic right now and he felt disturbed by all the events that just happened.
He also felt excited about his success finally in leaving this tyranny place, although he didn't know what would happen next, but it wouldn't be worse than his life there, or so he thought.
"Who is that kitten, boss?"
A harsh voice erupted suddenly to extract James from his thoughts, he turned to look back where he saw Gotar was stepping in the cruiser. Without him knowing it, half an hour just passed since he entered this cruiser.
"He is our guest, don't scare him boys. Now, let's leave this shitty place fast, as I heard they will do a lockdown soon," Gotar then glanced over James for a moment before he continued, "They said there was a homicide crime and some cargo got exploded in a fight somewhere there."
"Fight? Crime? Explosion? That seemed interesting boss," One of the crew said.
"Ringar, stop fooling around and go to the engine room. Lotaj, go to the main deck and start this damn cruiser. It's better to leave here now rather than never."
"Your orders, boss."
"I will move us now."
Gotar looked to his trusted aides in content, then he issued some random orders for everyone else. When the heart became empty, he neared James as he said slowly:
"I heard that Forilak got himself killed in that explosion."
James felt his heart was about to explode, but he controlled himself as best as he could while saying:
"May mercy be upon his soul."
Gotar looked fixedly upon James then he said slowly:
"Amen."
He then moved towards the front of the cruiser, where the main controlling deck was, as he said:
"Don't move around until we leave here. Don't be a trouble maker; I hate troublemakers on my ship. Maybe outside you can do whatever you wish, but here you will follow my orders to the letter."
He then disappeared behind a narrow metal corridor, which made James breathe a long sigh of relief. James then looked for a chair to sit on it while thinking about what had just happened.
That Gotar knew about his murder to Forilak, but he seemed not to care about it as he seemed to care about how.
James felt some threat coming from this Gotar, so involuntarily he touched one of his storage bracelets to feel secure. He had got many treasure boxes that contained many war weapons, so he wouldn't be under any threat inside this ship.
Just as he was deeply immersed in his thoughts, a loud sound appeared from the rear of this cruiser, followed by a strange feeling he never had felt before. He boarded countless cruisers in that facility, but they were all on the ground.
This was his first time flying in one of them, and he felt a strange mixed feeling of mightiness, fear and excitement overwhelming him. The experience didn't last long, as after a couple of minutes, he felt nothing.
That turbulence that affected the cruiser body was lost, and that loud sound of engines became very soft. The feeling of moving upright to the sky was replaced by nothing, which made James know for sure this cruiser had successfully escaped the planet gravity and entered the space.
"Lotaj, you will maintain our current course, and let Ringar push all our engines to their maximum capabilities, we have a meeting we don't want to be late for."
James heard the strong voice of Gotar coming from the front of the cruiser. It seemed his guess was correct, and now they were preparing to travel at the speed of light, or even faster. What made James feel doubtful was that 'meeting' that Gotar needed to attend this urgently.
Before James' mind could provide him with any answers, he heard some fuss coming from under his place. He didn't need to guess what that place was, as it was the cruiser warehouse, which was the most place in here he was familiar with.
Just as he was trying to listen carefully to get any clue, the crew of Gotar appeared one by one in the heart again with the company of Gotar. They all came from the warehouse direction, even Gotar.
They didn't come empty handed, as they dragged a person with them, one of the humans. She was a young girl that was nearly the same age as him.
"Pretty face, awesome body…hmmm… what a waste, this could sell at a high price at some casinos. Put her there boys and tight her well."
Gotar said while touching the soft honey-like skin with one of his big fingers while sucking his lips in regret. He then left his men to tie this lady to one of metal chairs in this place, while he looked at James as he said:
"Do you know guys we have completed our super big rewarding mission?"
"Oh boss, is this true? Did we find ourselves a black fog ambassador?" one of the crew said.
"Yes retarded, that man over there is the black fog ambassador," Gotar said while pointing over towards James.
"But boss, the last time we got one, it turned out to be fake and got some hard words for that failure," Another one of the crew said.
"That's why idiot we will use the way they taught me, this girl here will do the job," Gotar said while looking at the tied girl whose eyes were fiery and burning with anger as he said, "It's just a waste to let this chick here die like this.
Anyway, the money we will get from this mission is worth the sacrifice, so what do you think our dear black fog ambassador?"
James looked in stupefied way towards that girl then towards Gotar, but before he could open his mouth, Gotar said:
"Don't tell me you felt sympathy for that Forilak bastard before you killed him? Oh yes, I know the truth, you are that criminal who they were looking for back there, right?"
James heartbeats became so vigorous that its beating sounds turned into war drums, his mind becoming clouded with anxiety, fear and hesitation. Gotar didn't wait for him to reply as he added enjoying the expression on James' face:
"I know that the black fog ambassador word seemed vague to you, which is something understandable. Not many people in the universe still use this word, but I can help to educate you with everything, after all you are very precious to us.
Without your help, we couldn't get that immense wealth that's waiting for us at the place we are heading to. To show my gratitude to you, I will tell you everything; after all you don't have much time to live anyway, gra gra gra gra."
