Private A New Life

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr gulped from at the Maruader's words they were getting closer to the planet. He had to come up with something quick to save he and Tiaza. "Very well," Sorr said. "But I am making your people an offer that you'll hard time refusing."

He turned around gently kissing Tiaza on the forehead when she said that they'll be okay. "Just a few more minutes," he whispered to Tiaza while they approached the bed. "And we'll be out of here I promise."

Kig’s usual grin disappeared and his jaw clenched. “Dis be de last time I say boy. I won’t be lettin’ you go before you see Lady X. She knows how to use assets and assess tretts to herself and her organization. I will be sure to let her know dere be an offer you wish to be makin’. Past dat don’t try nottin’ stupid. Dis close to home even Dixi wouldn’t be crazy enough to try a double cross.”

Kig loved marauding. It was much better on the bigger ships with security staff. Guns blazing and action galore. Negotiating with young bucks just getting their start in the real world was more than he signed up for. Especially when he hadn’t had a lick of spice in days.

Sorr turned his back in Kig which the captain took as a good sign. “If you really be havin’ a grand offer, Lady X be better to hear it den me. I know which ship to grab. Sorry boy you were a sittin’ duck out dere. Lady X is de real brains.” Enough being said he hoped to prevent last minute heroics he left the quarters and shut the door.​

Tiaza gave an appreciative smile for the hidden kiss that Sorr was able to give her. He promised that they would be out of there soon. Tiaza thought that was a bit wishful thinking as truth, but Sorr was smart and strong and lucky. If anyone could do what he said it would be Sorr.

The captain gave one last rebuke of the offer, deferring to his boss. He then left. Less than ten minutes and they would be on the ground. Sorr would find an opening to escape, or they would be at the mercy of this Lady X. As soon as the door closed Tiaza couldn’t help a giggle. “I could have told you that one wasn’t the brains. Only reason he got the jump on you was because he had three others with blasters along with him.”

Tiaza rubbed her race lovingly against Sorr’s shoulder as they reached the bed. “It will all be over soon. Either we’ll have a deal with this Lady X, they’ll give us an opening for you to get us out of here, or…” She didn’t want to finish with the last possibility that she imagined possible. Instead she kissed Sorr again, passionately on the lips. If that last unspeakable option came to pass she wanted him to know how much she liked him. And words didn’t seem to be quite adequate.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr nodded. "I dunno," Sorr said to the Maurader. "I think Lady X will be quite pleased to know that only did you steal a ship, you've managed to squeeze out information that can make everyone here filthy rich. We're talking about so much credits that you can pay off your bounties and have more than enough to retire."

The young man gulped hoping that the lust for money can overwhelm the group's logic and reason. "Think about it," Sorr said before carrying Tiaza towards the bed. The young Chiss talked about how one of them wasn't the brains and could be easily manipulated. Sorr chuckled in response "we'll make it," Sorr whispered while Tiaza kissed on the lips again.

A blushed formed on his cheeks while he closed his eyes and returned her passionate kiss hoping that she would purr in the process.

The Euphoric Toxin made quite a graceful landing considering it was grappled to Rory’s stolen ship. Whatever anyone could say about the manners and professionalism of Mortuuga’s Marauders, they couldn’t say that they lacked for a talented pilot. Once the ships were safely on the ground inside of Lady X’s private compound on Ylesia, action inside and out became frantic.

Kig took Zebkar to retrieve the captives, the rest of the Marauders returned to the Toxin to go through the powerdown procedures. On her way out Dixi was sure to remind Kig to find out what the fortune the “kid” was hiding was. Kig didn’t need the reminder. A fortune would mean he could take missions when he felt like it and be high on spice when he didn’t.

With Zebkar over his shoulder he opened the door to the crew quarters. “I be welcomin’ you to Ylesia. A fine planet of lowlives and sneak, oh and jungles and mountains and dangerous creatures troughout. Future home of the Ylesia Galaxy Resort, and base of operations for Lady X, Black Sun Vigo.”

He waved for Sorr to stand. “I be assumin’ dat you will be carrying your stowaway? It be time to start your journey to see de boss. On de way might be we be passin’ Madame Myria . Dough if I know her she won’t be very impressed. And wit de girlie’s ankle I be guessin’ a trip to see Dr. Trip-0 is probably in de cards to.” He wave Sorr forward again and then started to walk through the ship. Zebkar waited for Sorr to follow and then took up the rear.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr held Tiaza close when the Mauraders came for them. “Yes,” Sorr said making sure Tiaza was comfortable in his arms. “Her ankle is still bad," he said standing up. "She still needs to be carried around."

The young man looked at Tiaza gently placing her head against his chest so she won't have to see her captors. "She will once I inform her how much credits there are in the vault."

Sorr remained silent as he continued to follow the Mauraders. "Don't let go okay?" he whispered.

Tiaza listened to the introduction of their new locale, it didn't make it any more familiar. It did make her weary of escape into Ylesia on their own. Then there was mention of a Madame and a Doctor. The former made her worry more, a slave madame was no good thing. The latter she wasn't sure what to think about. She thought she would rather wait than depend on an underworld doctor.

Sorr either wanted Tiaza to see the doctor or just wanted to make sure that the Marauders didn't make her walk on her own, either way she was happy for him to speak up. He again bragged about the fortune in hiding. If Sorr's family truly had that much it would be something to brag about.

Sorr told Tiaza not to let go, she had no intention of doing so. Instead she held on tighter. "I am not letting go of you," she whispered in his ear. "You're stuck with me."​

Kig led the captives and Zebkar out of Rory's ship through the cargo hold. There was already a flurry of activity with dock hands loading crates onto movers and out of the ship. Kig avoided the business and made sure he was able to be followed.

Once out of the ship, the dock and rest of the secret base was pretty plain for someone who claimed to be a Vigo of the Black Sun Syndicate. Along the path they passed by a luxurious looking Zygerrian. She seemed quite interested in Sorr and Tiaza for a moment, but then stuck her nose into the air and kept walking.

Kig continued through to the med center, or what constituted it in the base. It was some out dated equipment and a Medical Droid. "Trip-0, look over de girlie ankle. Says it be hurtin' so much she can't walk."

The droid walked over to Tiaza and scanned her ankle. "This Chiss' ankle is indeed damaged. She should not be walking. Nothing I can't…"

"It'll wait til dey see Lady X," Kig interrupted and waved for Sorr to follow again. They came to a closed door. "Lady X be inside. You tell her who you be and all about dese riches you be hidin' away. And I will let her know you might be of value."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Hopefully for a long time," Sorr whispered shyly while they walked through the planet. It was massive nothing that Sorr hadn't seen before given that he traveled along the Core worlds. The young man frowned when the Droid examined Tiaza's ankle. While the Maruaders and the Medical Droid weren't looking he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He wanted to make her feel comfortable and not think about the fact that they were captured.

"I'll explain to Lady X how much credits are stored in the vault," Sorr said. "And you'll regret doubting me my friend, you are making a mistake dragging this Chiss woman and I when you could've let us go and secure your riches."

He was playing with fire, but he needed to sound convincing so these Marauders can let them go.

Tiaza was quite relieved when the doctor turned out to be a droid. Not some doctor wanted in civilized worlds for performing unnecessary surgeries. She was doubly pleased when the droid said her ankle wasn’t severely damaged. But before she could receive any treatment the captain rushed them off to see his boss.

Sorr continued his story of mass credits in being held. It must be easier to tell a true tale. Of course Sorr didn’t believe the marauders could actually get to the credits which made it even easier to betray his family’s secret in order to get their freedom.

“Thank you for protecting me,” Tiaza whispered nonchalantly to Sorr. Again this part didn’t need to be too quiet. The captain could hardly blame her for being appreciative of all Sorr was doing for her, especially if she were a stranger. “Soon we will be away from here and exploring the galaxy.” This she added in a much lower volume with a bit of her confidence adding purr behind it.​

An armored figure came out to meet Kig, Sorr and Tiaza. He made no introduction or even a sound, but a mostly gentle prodding into Sorr’s back pushed the aspiring smuggler into the next room of this adventure. Once inside the room the armored man led the way to a chair in the middle of the room on the chair lounged a Falleen woman in a multi-colored dress.

“So this is the young man who claims he can make my Marauders rich beyond their wildest dreams,” the woman half hissed and half hummed. “I know that was an exaggeration, because the wildest dream of wealth here in the world of criminals is a considerable amount of credits.”

The woman stood up from her chair and circled Sorr and Tiaza. “And your little pet. From what I am told a mere stowaway, but I am gathering quite a bit more than that.”

She gave a deep sigh and then returned to her chair. “I will tell you now I will first listen to this offer of riches, and then I will give an offer of my own. You don’t know it yet, but you are a man with value. Tell me only truths and we will get along quite well. Tell me a single lie and we will have problems.”

The Fallen waved her finger at Sorr. “My slave coordinator says you aren’t gladiator material. And that she would have hard time using a damaged Chiss, even a pretty one. So let’s hear this riches story. And if you lie I will know.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr held Tiaza tightly as he stared at the woman who was observing them. A Falleen by the look of her, Sorr had never seen one before only on the Holovids. The Falleen usually resided in the Outer Rim which if Sorr had to guess is where they are. "Are you sure about that?" Sorr questioned looking directly at Tiaza. "Well, I know a rich noble who stores his wealth in a large Vault located on Hosinian Prime."

A pang of guilt came over Sorr, he was about to sell out his family just so he can get a crime boss off his back. The young man looked at Tiaza and frowned, he was doing this for her. He needed to do this. "It contains 6 billion credits," Sorr said. "Including other valuables."

“I am sure,” Tiaza whispered her confidence into Sorr’s ear. After they were ushered in front of Lady X, Tiaza also took in their host. Falleen were pretty rare, but she had seen a few in her early days as a lounge singer. She knew they were quite attractive by reputation and Lady X was. Tiaza also knew they could use other methods to attract attention. She had her eyes on Lady X to make sure she did not try to influence Sorr.

The Falleen called Tiaza a pet, which elicited a small hiss from the Chiss, but she wasn’t dumb enough to make anything of it. Tiaza knew she was more than a pet to Sorr and that was what mattered.

Lady X asked about details of Sorr’s offer and warned against trying to lie. Sorr gave the very vague details, with very really numbers. Tiaza had heard the total before, but it still made her gasp in disbelief. “That’s quite a lot of money,” she muttered out loud.

Tiaza then tucked her head against Sorr’s shoulder. “Be very careful. I believe her when she says she will know a lie. And I think she is very dangerous.​

“Six billion credits from some noble family fault on a Core planet hm?” Lady X hummed and pressed the palms of her hands together. “That doesn’t exactly sound like a sure thing.” She pressed a few buttons on the arm of her chair and then gave a second considering hum.

“As I said I have an offer to make to you as well,” the Falleen crimeboss mewled. Her tone was quite seductive, but she that was just force of habit in negotiations with a male. She didn’t feel the need to release any of her intoxicating pheromones. “I am having a ship delivered tomorrow. It is the prototype of what I hope will be a fleet of transport ships for the Galaxy Resort Corporation. In exchange for being the first to pilot the ship, making a pick up of valuable merchandise for me, and the full information on this noble’s vault you speak of; I will give you the ship, assuming that it does not break down in the process. And perhaps a job…

“Oh one last thing,” Xygrit hummed before letting Sorr give an answer on her offer. “Before you accept or deny my offer, I need know who your former ship belonged to? Whose cargo am I stealing, and will this result in a price on my head too high to bother allowing you to help me?”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr smiled when Tiaza hissed it was fierce yet cute at the same time though not as relaxing as her purrs which Sorr desperately missed. "A ship huh?" So far so good, Sorr was making great progress, but he needed to come up with something more substantial. The young man remembered not only taking his Dad's gun but also memorizing every planet that his Dad conducted business in. Just in case that he somehow developed a conscience and decided to look for Sorr. "His name is Rory," Sorr said holding Tiaza close. "A very irritable fellow but he would understand that I had to save my own skin."

The young man approached Lady X. "I can show you the schematics of the place," Sorr said. "Just so you know where to go and what to expect. As soon as I show you the map, just tell me where to get cargo and I'll leave."

'Wait this woman is offering him a job?' Tiaza thought to herself. It wasn't that bad of a price for the info on where to find 6 billion in credits. But there was no guarantee of the credits. 'If he is an employee she will know where to find him.'

Tiaza smiled and gave a purr when Sorr gave up Rory. That bastard deserved whatever he got. Then Sorr said he would give the schematics to the vault and be on his way for the delivery. "Careful," Tiaza hummed in his ear. "Don't want to be too eager."​

"You come with schematics?" Xygrit asked with a smirk. "Oh that would be quite glorious." Her chair made a sound and she looked down at the arm with the buttons she pushed before then she looked back up at Sorr and Tiaza.

"Rory isn't a big fan of you," she said with a chuckle. "That is quite a bounty. Says here you shot him and absconded with his merchandise." She pushed a few more buttons and then gave a bit of a laugh.

"Ord Mantell security shows a disturbance in the docks," she informed the duo. "One quite injured thug reported that the plan was to take a hostage. Poor form. I have an addition to my offer. I will make sure this bounty is lifted. You and your little girlfriend are free to go after three transport runs."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Tiaza's purr put Sorr's troubled mind at ease as he stared at Lady X. "If you have a Holoterminal," Sorr said. "I can access the vault schematics basically everything you need to know about the security systems."

Sorr looked around for a Holoterminal. "You sure your crew is for this?" he asked. "You're not taking over a simple freighter like mine. Besides let's just say Rory and Is working relationship has soured lately."

He looked down at Tiaza. "We've had..... arguments lately," he said. "So show me a Holoterminal and I'll give you everything you that Vault all I ask is that you let us go."

Lady X listened to Sorr and gave a nod. She pressed a new button on the chair and a holoterminal rose from the center of the room just in front of Sorr. "Don't try to access anything in my network. I'd hate to injure those hands. The Chiss will have to start walking in her own with as much damage as my security will cause."

Xygrit gave a slight shake of her head. "I will let you go. No thugs watching you operate. But you will complete my three jobs. If not the bounties placed upon you by Rory will seem like child's play.

"As to the ability of my people to infiltrate this vault you show…" she gave a humming sound and stroked her chin. "That is a question I am curious to have answered. I don't anticipate a full success at very least I have valuable information to sell to someone more set to succeed than my organization. Six billion credits is worth the risk of manpower."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

The young man gently placed Tiaza onto the floor next to his leg. She can cling onto his leg if she wanted right now Sorr needed to have his hands empty so he can access the network. After a couple of swipes, Sorr displayed the entire Vault plans to Lady X careful of not showing the major security breaches so her group can get arrested. "So," Sorr said. "It's about 4 stories high but it contains the credits located on the Fourth floor."
