The Story/Bio of James Woods[Slaver's Union]

[Slaver's Union]

Chapter 5: A Slave and a Lover.

As George made a deal with the old women, whom he called ‘Mrs. Simpson’, James eyed some of the stock, opening the slots to their bins and peaking inside. In one of the crates was a young girl. Something about her appealed to him. Perhaps it was her form, or how meek she appeared curled up inside her crate, but James was compelled to speak to her. “Hello there.” James begins. A true hint of compassion fills his voice. “How old are you?”

The girl looks up at the eyes peering in from the open slot. She blinks as her eyes adjust to the light that illuminates her small cage. “I’m 21, sir.” The young girl answers. James thinks for a moment, and then asks “So you were born in 800 A.S.?” “Yes sir.” The girl sheepishly answers. With the light entering the crate, James can see her more clearly. She is a Kusari woman, barely 5’1” tall and 100 pounds and not underfed or mistreated. Her long black hair, though knotted and dirty, still holds a light sheen to it, and her deep brown eyes mesmerize him.

“I want this one!” James cries out, turning to George and the old woman.
“She isn’t for sale to just anyone. She’s a high prize. A Kusari women in Liberty, with a small figure like hers, and an attitude to match. She could bring millions as a concubine to the right man.” Mrs. Simpson answers.
“She’s right, James. We’re not here for one expensive slave girl. We’re here for workers to take back to our business associates on Malta.” George adds.
“I don’t care. I ne… I want her. I’ll pay whatever you ask.” James answers.

George takes a step forward. His blank face starts to show mild frustration and anger. Turning to the old women, he leans in and whispers something to her. She shrugs and pulls up a set of old keys. George walks towards James, turning and passing him as his overcoat flutters behind him. “You owe me for this one, little brother.” He says as he passes by. Mrs. Simpson walks up to the crate and unlocks it. “This is your new master now, girl. Serve him well, and do whatever he tells you.” She says to the girl.

The Kusari girl simply nods and crawls out from the crate. As she stands before James, wearing a simple dress, she looks at the floor. “I’m here to serve you, Master.” She says. As he looks her over, he places a hand on her chin and raising her face to look at his. She turns away her eyes. James gently caresses her face as Mrs. Simpson looks on. “Pfft. Children…” She mutters as she walks away. “Look at me, girl. What is your name?” James asks.

She turns her eyes to meet his, and is surprised to see that he doesn’t appear angry, but compassionate. “I’ve had many names. My real name was lost as I was an orphan in Liberty.” She answers. James pats her on the shoulder and asks if she ever had a name that she liked. The girl thinks for a moment as James begins to walk, wrapping an arm around the girl. “I was once called Erica in an orphanage. I liked that name.” She says as they walk out of the old mine, towards the airfield. “Erica it is then. I’m James. I’m a Captain for the Slaver’s Union.” James says.

As their ships are loaded, James treats Erica very well. After allowing her to wash and eat, he gives her some of Nicole’s clothes, even though they are slightly larger than her. James’ pilot follows George’s ship as James and Erica spend the entire flight talking privately in the ship’s galley. James shares his past, his wife, his children, and his actual feelings to Erica, and gives Erica the choice to be a crewmember, or to be something more.

Erica sees something in James that’s sincere, and even though he is married with children, she decides that it must have been fate that brought her to him, as it was clearly nothing she had ever decided of her own free will. This was an opportunity to have something she really wanted, and she wasn’t going to let it slip through her fingers. As their ships land on planet Malta, George returns to the merchant to sell their collective cargo, with both his and James’ manifests in hand. James, along with Erica and a few of his crew, now armed with holstered blasters and Needler rifles, head to his apartment. James has every intention of introducing Erica to his wife and children as his new mistress and helper to the family.

His plans change, however, when they find a guard shot dead in front of the apartment door. Entering inside, James calls out to his children, finding only more dead guards. He studies the scene before calling George. Moments later, George and his guards arrive and he studies the scene. George orders everyone to wait in the hall of the main room as he walks through.

It soon becomes clear what has happened. The mercenaries exaggerated their talents. As one of them sat facing away from her for some unknown reason, Nicole drew his blaster from his side and shot him in the back of the head, killing him instantly. As the other guards came in, hearing a body fall over onto the floor, she fired wildly, killing two more of them. The fourth and final guard at the door was shot at point blank range in the forehead, probably pleading for his life. Nicole then kept the blaster, gathered the mercenaries credit chits, and fled with the children.

Considering what George had paid them, he assumed she had roughly 200,000 credits or more at her disposal. Enough to barter passage back to Liberty space, at the very least. “Do you know where she’ll go?” George asks, as James holds Erica close. James thinks for a moment and replies, “There is one place she could go. The only relative she had left was a half-sister who lives on Pittsburgh. I don’t know where she lives, but I know her name.” George smiles and begins walking down the hall. “That’s enough…” He says.

Returning to the merchant, George purchases another hold full of Cardamine for both ships. As he returns to James and their tiny fleet, he pockets a second chit containing 1,500,000 credits; the cost of freeing Erica into James’ care. The brothers board their respective ships and head back to Liberty space, where they deliver their cargo as intended, before making their way back to Pittsburg.
