The ship called Veles

[Exsiled_one]

Story I
The faint flicker of the light in the green interrogation room annoyed Domi. The law probably
didn't even notice, and frankly, he shouldn't have noticed it too. But hiding in the cargo box
for 16 days with half of foods ration and some water really makes you become really light
sensitive.
- Look I already told you everything I know. Why don't you just let me go?
- We can't do that mister Rathel, and you know that. - Navy officer spoke
He continued - You know how do theese things go, you give us something actually usefull,
and we'll let you go - He grinned and sat down next to Dom. Second didn't pass and Domi
found his head kissing the table so hard he swore he heard the aluminum bend in.
- Ugh. - Muffered sound, that's all the pleasure Dom gave them. He couldn't give them
the pleasure. That would only lead to more problems.
- Look - He continued - I really want to help, I really do. But what you're asking me,
is impossible to know while hiding in the cargo hold of an unknown ship.
The officer took his head again but didn9t smash him down just yet. - The name of the ship?
- I.. - Smash. Again. This time it was harder.
- You stuttered mister Rathel. That's telling me you know something.
The red stain remained on the aluminum table, and flew slowly to the bended part of the table.
Domi grinned.
- Do you really find this funny? Theese people kicked you out in a box filled with counterfit software.
To make things worse - Officer paused - They painted a frikkin bullseye on the top of the box saying
"aim here".
Dom left out a chuckle but ended it with another blood drop from his nose. It hurt, really.
- Look, it's ****ed up, but I'm telling you. I don't remember it. I was just a comm officer there.
They've stuffed me into that box at least a week before they've jettisoned me. And you've yet to tell me where did you even find me!
- Rochester.. Junker found you at Rochester. And got you here a day after. You were hooked up on the machines
for 20 hours. You're lucky to be alive.
- Well that's all peachy, but I still can't remember ****.
Another officer appeared in the room. - His lawyer is here.
Dom slowly grinned, he knew he's out in a hour.
Exiting the parking platform Domi slowly grinned and wiped his stil bloody nose with the tissue.
He stood next to a civilian transport ship and smiled to the stewardess.
- Veles, the ship's name is Veles.
He sat down in the last row of the commercial ship. The seat felt good, and it felt even better
being paid by the Liberty house herself. Domi left an relief sigh and closed his eyes. He can finally relax.
He didn't "squeal" as mr. E would say it. He didn't cry, he didn't break, he did not do a single thing that
would make E come for him again. He was finally safe. He fell asleep fifteen minutes after the
departure. It was a first time he actually dreamed in last few weeks.
