bunch aren’t they?”
      “The leader is gutsy so…” he shrugged. All of the women were watching him and Moz now. “The two with bandages and the unconscious one will need to be carried. She tells me that they won’t be able to move quickly on their own. I’ve relayed the information to Dezek and Vax who are ‘negotiating’,” he grinned knowing Vax’s unique ability to ‘push’ people to do what he wanted could be very useful in situations like this one. Otherwise, they’d never be able to afford eleven human females at once. They were just too rare. Moz laughed with him over the thought of how Vax was likely to negotiate as they waited.
      The shop keeper appeared with Dezek and Vax and two more of the huge Jata a short time later. The shop keeper certainly knew what kind of help to hire. The first Jata stopped at the enclosure containing the little Xydrav and began to undo the manacles from her tentacles. The shop keeper and the second Jata joined the one who had been patrolling the kiosk and they stepped into the enclosure holding the women. The Jata began to remove the collars.
      “There. Now they belong to you,” the shop keeper was smiling but his eyes looked slightly puzzled. Rev hid his grin, Vax strikes again. He, Moz and Vax entered the enclosure. Vax lifted the petite human with red hair and the worst injuries while he murmured to her. Rev knew he was ‘pushing’ her to ease her pain while being moved. Moz lifted the darkest human who watched him quietly but didn’t protest although she grimaced. He moved to the unconscious form, pulled her up and dumped her over his shoulder. He turned and saw the leader and another of the women were glaring at him. He shrugged and smiled as he continued on to the vehicle which had drawn up at the front. The little Xydrav rushed to the leader and threw its tentacles around the woman’s legs. 
      “Come on, let’s go, Zabyss,” she hurried the little creature along.
      Once in the vehicle, Dezek started issuing orders. 
      “Fazon, get us the hell out of here before he realizes what we did or the troops show up. Nyman,” he called through the communication link, “get those engines powered up and Nav on line. We need to leave two days ago.” He turned to the women. “My name is Dezek, this is Vax, Moz, Rev and Fazon is at the controls. You need to move to the ship quickly once we arrive. I don’t have time to explain or give you a lot of information right now. Just do as I say and I’ll try to explain as soon as I can. Go in the door then to left and to the end of the passageway and go in the door on the right,” his voice was commanding and stern.
      The vehicle came to a sudden abrupt halt causing Rose to whimper softly and Taylor to groan. Cracked or broken ribs were definitely no fun. Dezek jumped out and scanned the area. He motion to the women and pointed to a ramp leading to a large ship. The women filed out and headed for the ramp. The three males each carrying an injured woman led the way. Fazon grabbed the little Xydrav who squeaked in alarm and hustled her in behind the women. Dezek followed and closed the hatch when it locked he called out.
      “Nyman, get us gone now!” He wouldn’t breathe easy until they left the star system. He hustled to the bridge and grabbed a seat. “As soon as you hit the ninth planet jump to hyper speed,” he ordered Nyman. The pilot shot him a surprised look but didn’t ask questions.
      “Passing the ninth planet and proceeding to hyper speed,” the pilot told him a few minutes later as he ignored several summons for contact from the seventh planet.  He completed the jump to hyper speed flawlessly as usual. Then he turned and looked Dezek over for a moment before speaking. “Now do you want to tell me why I just pulled a damn rookie stunt by jumping into hyper speed while still inside a star system and probably incurred a fine that costs a small fortune in credits if they complain?”
