Carlos meeting up with Anna

Anna Carlos, she said she finally made up her mind and was willing to meet Carlos on Freeport 2. Carlos
acknowledged it and found Freeport 2 a suitable place to have the ‘chat’. They agreed that They would have
the little ‘chat’ in one of Freeport 2 its restaurants.

Carlos was early and the ship of Anna was nowhere to be seen yet, Carlos waited outside of his ship waiting for
Anna to arrive on the Freeport. After several hours of waiting Carlos figured she’d never be coming, he was
about to leave when he saw a Eagle turn into the hangar bay. There she was.

Anna got out of her ship, she was rather calm. Even though she had a rough time in space to get to the freeport
in one piece. She walked over to Carlos, moving her hand through her hair, putting it in a better model after the
helmet she weared.

[color=#66CCCC] “You managed to fix your Eagle I see?” Carlos said calm as Anna approached him.
She shortly looked back at her ship and gave a short nod to Carlos.
“Took some time, but it’s back together.”
“Good to hear, let’s go?”
“Sure, lead the way”
Anna appearing to be calm, she took a step to the side to let Carlos lead the way to the restaurant. Carlos
nodded in a polite manner to Anna and started to walk, Anna following him closeby. Though, it wasn’t hard to
tell she didn’t want to get too close.

They arrived in the restaurant and picked a table close to the side of the restaurant in a calm corner near a
window.
“Hungry?”
“I don’t want to be a party pooper but, no I’m not really hungry at all.”
“No problem, just want a drink then?”
“A coffee would work” Anna smiled shortly at Carlos.

A little moment later a waitress arrived,
“Two coffee, please”
The waitress gave Carlos and Anna a small nod with a smile.
“Just two coffee?” She noted it on a little notepad.
“Nothing else?”
“That’s it for now.” Carlos returned the friendly smile.
“Alright”
The waitress left again, shaking her head a bit ‘so official’ she though chuckling a bit to herself.

“So Anna…” Carlos crossed his arms on the table as he leaned a bit forward to Anna looking
her into the eyes. “figured out yet why I wanted to speak to you?”
“A bit, not really sure.” Anna replied, with a neutral look.
“You’ve caught my attention, per-”
Carlos stopped as the the waitress arrived with a plate, two mucks of coffee
on it.
“Here you go, one for you and one for you”
Carlos nodded to the waitress shortly again, the same ‘kind’ smile on his face.
“Thanks.”

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Anna just nodded to the waitress but remained quiet. The waitress left again.
“Right, Anna… you’ve caught my attention, my personal attention actually. You see I’m a bit surprised that a girl like
you managed to get this many people after herself. You’re a bit… how do I put it, reckless?”
“Reckless? Maybe.” Anna replied curt.
“On the debriefing that I had after your arrest, well you do have quite a record. Since I actually bothered reading it.
Don’t you think it’s a bit funny the Outcasts had to send a entire wing including capital ship to come and ‘arrest’ you
and then release you after a few weeks?”
“Released? Heh, Samantha never released me. She made sure I would have to come back but since she’s your
commander, you should know exactly what she did, so why ask me what you already know?”
Anna rowed slowly with a spoon through her coffee after she added some sugar to it.

“Anna, I’m here since I don’t know what Samantha told you or whatever she did to you. All I know is that you were
arrested for crimes against the Outcasts, me, us. However I’m having a hard time to believe you did so much
‘criminal’ acts against us that we needed to use this much force or effort to get you. And releasing you or
whatever… afterwards was just making me more interested as I said. But tell me, since I don’t know. What did
Samantha do?”
“She used your little ‘drug’ to make me feel attached to the Outcasts, but that plan of hers failed. As you can see I’m
still pretty free. And Samantha just got herself shot when she tried to com and fetch me again.”
“Ah, you shot her? That’d make sense in why no one told me what exactly happened.”
“I didn’t. Nicholas did.” Anna’s voice being rather cold and curt as she says it.
“You mean Nick?”
“Nicholas yes, the one you met on Thunder Bay.”
“I see…”

Carlos sat back in his seat, his hands folded. Busy in his mind as he was thinking.Taking a sip from his coffee.
Still a thinking look on his face. As he continued talking his voice remained calm at all times.
“No need for you to worry though, I got my orders not to ‘harm’ your Nicholas. And besides that, I have no idea when
Samantha will be fully recovered from her injuries, by the sound of it, it sounded rather serious. But I’m still curious
on how you got yourself into this mess, you see, there are more people looking for you. And trust me they won’t be
so kind to you. Not as kind as Samantha was to you, which reminds me, sorry for your loss on Barrier Gate. It ws-”
Being interupted by Anna…
“Don’t be. Jake is a closed chapter of my life, he wasn’t trustful to me anyway.” Anna said.

With a frown on her face she gulped up a part of her coffee, placing back the muck on the table a bit ‘reckless’
“heh, I see.” Carlos calmy took a sip from his coffee.
“So who’s after me this time? Other Outcasts? A Xenos, some hunters, mercs?...”
“The Samarran Raiders, Anna.”
“hehe” Anna giggled shortly in disrespect.
“They said they wanted to kill you, slowly and painfully, claiming you were responsible for the death of someone
named Adrian Thrax.”
“What? I didn’t kill him, shot him yes, but he got out alive. We made a little deal, I could blow his ship to bits and I’d
pay him three million, I’d be paid five million from some from someone else to blow him up. So that was a two
million profit for me. Plus to nice feeling of his ship blowing up.”
“Anna, he’s dead, judged by his own people as a traitor, because of your little deal.”
“heh.”
“You’re reckless and getting yourself into trouble you won’t be able to coop with one day. Which might be meaning
your life would end before you want it to. Take your chance to make something out of your life, Anna.”
“Why would I listen to you hm? And…” She giggled again shortly “You sound a bit like Nick”
“Do whatever you want, but don’t start crying when things do turn bad, you’re lucky I’m actually following orders,
otherwise your Nick wouldn’t really have a long life to live. Since I’m not fond of people who shot up my commanding
officer.”
Anna smiled mishiviously “Yeah, those people can be a bitch, too bad you can’t shoot him then, oh and he’s not
‘mine’ he just a guy that seems to be wanting to protect me at all cost.”
“Are you saying he shot Samantha because she was coming to pick you up?”
She sipped up the last bit of coffee. “Ahhh… yup, I asked Nick to make her leave. Seems that was the result of her
not willing to leave willingly.”
Carlos clearly not being amused by Anna’s answer stood up, he took her by her harm and pulled her up from her
seat. He pulled her with him towards the counter, quickly laid a few credit chips on the counter and continued
to pull Anna back to the hangar.

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Anna just let herself be dragged along, she was even chuckling and giggling not resisting at all.
“There was something else Samantha said. She didn’t care what we did with you, Anna.”
“What!?”
Anna pulled her arm to herself again making Carlos stop as they both stood in the hallways of Freeport 2.
Carlos grinned at her. “Scared all of a sudden, lost your little shield?”
“heh, got what you wanted now?”
“Not really, I’m rather disappointed in what I found.” Carlos grabbed her arm again and began to pull Anna
towards the hangar. This time Anna was resisting, it didn’t influence much though, Carlos wasn’t having a hard
time to pull her along.
“What do you think you’re doing!?”
“You’ll see.” Carlos replied curt, with a angered tone in his voice.

They finally arrived in the hangars again, with a strong pull on her arm Anna managed to make Carlos lose his
grip. Carlos frowned and turned around towards Anna. He looked directly in the barrel of a gun.
“Anna don’t be stupid”
“Hah, shut up. Give me one good reason why I wouldn’t pull the trigger.”
Carlos looked around, seeing some of the Zoner giving a concerned look at him though they all seemed to be
frozen, no one took action against the girl in front of him. ‘neutral’ he thought.
“Well?”
“You don’t want to make a mess on a Freeport for everybody to see, Anna.”
“Are you sure?” She made more of a statement then actually asking. “What’s there to lose?”
Carlos closed his eyes for a moment, letting out a sigh. Opening his eyes after a moment of calming himself
down. He looked Anna in her eyes, his look was sharp. Trying to see if Anna was really telling him the truth
about ‘having to lose something’. Anna’s eyes looked back straight in that of Carlos, but they didn’t show
any sign to him of ‘having something to lose’.

Carlos slowly raised his hands, in a way he wanted to motion she already had won. A grins slowly became
visible on Anna’s face. “Not so tough now huh?”
In a quick motion with his hand, Carlos grabbed one of Anna’s wrists wanting to push away the gun. In a
response to Carlos’ motion Anna pulled the trigger, the gun fired, and grinded past Carlos’ face, it went
along his cheek, taking away his ear. Carlos ducked down, not able to make Anna lose the gun, his hand
reached out onto his cheek, the pain was unbearable.

Anna stood there holding the gun in her hand, shocked of her own reaction, she looked at the gun in her hand.
Carlos moaned as he laid on the floor, both his hands on the place where the shot grinded over his face.
“heh”
Anna aimed the gun at Carlos’ chest and fired twice, finishing him off. Carlos’ body turned motionless. Upon
hearing the shots several ‘security’ personnel came down rushing towards Anna and what was left of Carlos.
Anna didn’t hesitate and ran towards her ship.
“Halt!” One of the men yelled at Anna.
They were too late she managed to get her ship launched, they let the doors open, not wanting to have this
mess get worse on the base. Anna saw several people run down to Carlos’ body, people trying to reanimate
him, but the amount of blood on the floor showed it wasn’t going to help much. Anna disappeared with her
Eagle, in the direction of Liberty.
