It was a wonderful view as Lennox exits the Barrier Nebula in Baffin. He took some time, watching the huge gas giant and the other planet in the system. He leaned back into his seat, enjoying the view, putting away his thoughts for a while. After he returned back to reality he continued his flight through the peaceful system, heading for jumphole to Tau 29. On his flight he encountered some members of the TAZ. He knew these Zoners are sometimes thinking different than others in Sirius. With not caring too much about what they said Lennox made his way to the jumphole and entered it after scanning. His cockpit lightened up and the wormhole pushed the 'Fisher' out of the end of the passage between the two jumping points. Arrived in Tau 29 Johan initialized a scan of the area around him. Nothing special.
"I hope the Freeport is clear of suspicious persons and greedy pirates...something I could use the least is trouble now." He mumbled to his self and activated the cruise engines.
He stretched his body after he jumped out of the Kingfisher. He looked around if there was somebody looking at him. He then searched for the device the two Navy's have placed on his ship but it was missing. Lennox grew worried because he didn't hear anything neither the scanners 'told' him something. He wondered about that as he walked inside the bar of the freeport. He shortly looked around, not noticing a woman in a bluish uniform was watching him. He ordered a drink and looked around again. he noticed the woman was staring at him all the time without an expression on her face. Johan got worried again, took his drink and left the bar.
"I will bring the glass back."
The woman quickly stood up, following him out of the bar. But after she left the room she didn't see him any longer. She moved to a corner where she saw a shadow of somebody. Her eyes widened in fear as she wanted to look what comes after the corner. Then she suddenly was pushed against the wall. It was Lennox, holding a knife on her throat.
"Ugh..." The woman, nearly collapsed by the shock, looked scared at him, then down to the knife.
"What do you want here? Are you from Liberty? Do you have the task to observe me? I suggest to answer quick or I have to kill you."
"I...I am not working for Liberty man..please remove the knife." She whined.
Lennox digged the cutting edge deeper into her throat but didn't cut her yet. "Don't lie! Why do you wear a Libertonian uniform if you are not working for them, huh?"
"I will tell you...but please...remove this weapon."
Lennox sighed. "Alright...*he puts the knife back in it's scabbard, pulling out his plasma gun instead* But you won't go anywhere until you told me everything you know." He unlocked his gun, looking at the woman. "So what's your name?"
She took a deep breath, relieved a bit after Lennox moved the knife away. "Natasha...Natasha Steel."
Johan nodded and checked something on the device he had around his arm, aimed with the weapon on the scared woman. "Well...you are lucky..." He took some kind of a needle, taking the hand of Natasha who looked at him confused. He quickly stabs the needle into one of her fingers and removed it, putting it into his prtable computer around his arm.
"Ouch..what..." After she saw what Lennox did she sighed. "Nobody trust me...why is nobody trusting me?"
"You have to earn trust before doing anything else...well you are right it seems...no matches in the Liberty databanks found..." He looked up to her and puts his handgun back in it's scabbard. "Okay...so. Why you followed me or why you showed interest in me?"
"Erm...well. I was just curious about you." She smiled at him. "I didn't know you would have killed me if I would have belonged to Liberty's organisation stuff..."
"Hmpf...I would have killed you...yeah. But i don't want to bring other into trouble..so please leave me alone."
"Huh? You have trouble with some things? I could help you with that. I am a good pilot..." She wanted to continue talking when Lennox interupts her, shaking his head.
"No. Too many died because of the things I have done. The least the number of them the better..." The door, where Steel and Lennox came from, suddenly opened and a grenade flew inside the room. "S***, take cover!"
He pushed her to the side to edge of the corner, signing her to run away. Lennox pulled out his weapon, preparing for a fight. The grenade exploded and tore most of the stuff around apart. People dressed in black suits equipped with plasma rifles stormed in. They saw Lennox aiming them. But they didn't fire. They even lowered their guns.
"It's not the person we are searching for Sir." One of the men said. Another stranger entered the room, holding a gun in his hands.
The woman who was ordered to run away appeared behind Lennox, looking over his shoulder to see what was going on. Lennox finally lowered his gun, too.
"What are you doing Natasha?" He pushed her away gently, a bit annoyed. The woman didn't answer and started to pout.
"Well..so what is this on about?" Lennox looked a bit puzzled trying to understand what was going on.
