Message for Margarita

[majkp]

Somewhere on Planet Malta, Omicron Alpha

***

Roy woke up on the floor of a dark dirty cell somewhere in the underground. The whole place looked like a venerable but abbandoned dungeon. One could hear no voice except the rustle of thousands feet of bedbugs. Roy sat in the corner and started to hold his head with hands. How did he get into this mess?

Since he met this Margarita, he couldn't stop thinking of her. He started to wander through Omicron Alpha more and more frequently trying to ask everyone for her while hiding in the clouds near Planet Malta, no matter how risky it was for a bounty hunter. He became well known among the Ghosts of Razgriz and they even started make jokes about his torment.

Finally he was spotted, as usually waiting 10k above Malta, by this Bernard Fokke. He first acted as if he wanted to help Roy in his search. Roy should have been more suspicious, especially when Bernard asked for the money. But Roy was blinded by the new chance to finally find Margarita and gave this man all his money - 20 mil. credits. Instead of taking him pass the defences down to Malta, Bernard engaged him taking full advantage of Roy's surprise. He even wasn't able to contact Mandy on sso| frequencies but there still was a hope to contact him if Roy somehow get's out. Anyway, Roy's Manta was destroyed no matter how hard he tried and that was the last memory he had before he woke up on the cell's floor.

Roy started to have a strange feeling that he's being watched, he stood up, walked to the grid and looked over the dark corridor. On the other side, there was a man standing leant upon the wall, watching Roy observingly with a mocking look on his face.

"What do you want from me? Kill me or leave me alone!", Roy shouted at the man who happened to be a certain Outcast named Miguel.
