Kharon Part 64

Kharon Chapter 64

     Kiarah is on the bridge with Johnny and some of his crew.  “I won’t tell you how to work this ship.  There is nothing you can threaten me with.”  

  “Yes I’m aware that the Quarsians are notoriously difficult to coerce.  And since your the last of them I would imagine you haven’t much more to lose.  Luckily your old friends the Metrons left me with a parting gift.”  Johnny produces a syringe and uncaps it as his thugs grab Kiarah.  Kiarah tries fighting them off but Johnny uses the his special device to aid them in subduing her.  He then injects the syringe into her arm.  

  As Kiarah then stands back up she clutches her head and appears to get groggy.  She blinks several times and her jaw drops as she sees standing before her the beloved Fronzo that she lost in the great war.  Suddenly her Fronzo is held by thugs at knife point.  She cries out to the hallucination, “Hamak! My Fronzo, no!!!”  She turns to Johnny and pleads with him, “I’ll tell you anything you want!  Just don’t hurt him!”

  “Perfect”, says Johnny smiling.

  Back in their cell Simone and Luke are jolted as the ship begins to move.  “We’re moving!”, exclaims Simone.

  “He must have gotten Kiarah to help him pilot the Kharon somehow.”

  “Now we’re really fucked.  Jacob ad Emma won’t bother to look for us on the seas.”

  “Even if they did.  They’ll never find us.”

       “So how’s that escape plan looking”, says Luke sarcastically.
