Message for Margarita

[majkp]

"Marg, are you sure that what you are doing is right? I mean all the consequences...", Roy asked.

She looked back at Roy. His stay at the dungeons already started to have its impact on him. Not only he stinked worse than a pig but his psychic must have suffered too. Still he behaved as if nothing has happened. Yes, this guy was worth it.

She smiled and replied: "Stop talking nonsence and come on. Do you think I just made it for fun? Hurry, we need to get out of here before another guard comes to replace this one. Poor boy, he recognized me and we have to prevent him to talk soon. Sorry again, mate.", and she doped him with 5 potions of Cardamine. He should survive it but he will be delirious for at least a day.

"Where are we going? What are we going to do?", Roy was still confused.

"Shhhh. Calm down, we're gonna get out of here, I promise. I have a plan but first you need to take a shower before you can enter my Sabre with me. Let's go to my place, hurry."

...An hour later...

Roy was toweling himself and Margarita pretended she's not watching him. "Roy, we need a cover. My plan is that you hijack me and use my fighter to escape in which case we'll have our ships following us wherever we go. And there is no other way you and me could enter our hangars. So we need to distract them once we take off. Can you send a message to your fellows?"

"Let me try, Marg. We have a special S.O.S. frequency to use in this case. Hope it works." He sat at the terminal and typed the message:

Mandy,

Sorry I didn't send a message sooner. Long story, but if I tried to shorten it - I was searching for a certain girl I once met. Unfortunatelly an outcast one. I was getting close and then I was betrayed by Bernard Fokke. He first pretended he's going to help me, took the 20 mils I was offering for his help and then destroyed my ship and jailed me in the horrible Dungeons of Malta.

Anyway, she is helping me to escape but we'll need you to cover our escape to our Rostock Base in Omega 15 and we are sure a great fleet of outcast ships is going to pursue us. We'll be flying a Sabre. Please bring me another Manta and help us run!

Roy Batty out.

Roy turned back to Margarita, and said: "Let's give them an hour and if they don't respond, then we are alone."
