Day 5
Mia woke, stretching as usual but something was different, she could hear birds and heavy breathing. Her eyes flew open as it all came back to her, Jay had spent the whole night in the chair. She hoped he got a good night sleep. She slowly got out of bed trying not to wake him, she stared at him sleeping, and them she remembered the last time she thought he was asleep and he wasn’t. hmm she still owed him for that stunt, she went to the pack and pulled out clothes to wear for the day, she should strip down naked and get dressed in front of him, that would get him back, she shivered at the thought of his hands on her bare skin again. She should really stop provoking him before she found an answer for how they were to be together with him alive.
You know what, she thought; if he was fake sleeping again and saw too much, serves him righ! She went back to beside the bed and turned her back to him. She pulled his shirt over her head and sh
They continued on their way, it was mid afternoon when Jay realised, they were being followed. Mia he said calmly, can you put your vest on and pass me mine.” She looked at him seriously.“what’s wrong” Mia asked worriedly.“We are being followed, it is just a safety precaution at this stage.”She helped Jay put his vest on and then got hers on.“I don’t think the one car will attack us but I expect sooner or later we could be ambushed They will tell the others where to find us, we need to loose that car. They must have known I entered through the port. And then followed my vehicle. We need to get a new car”“Can you show me the map,” Jay continued.Mia held it out for him to see, there was a dirt track across to the next town over that ran through a thick forest. He turned off, and gunned it. He got far enough in front that the other vehicle wouldn’t see if
“I’m sot sure,” said Jay “I need to get the whole team back together, its easier protecting one location rather than two and the team is too spread out, we don’t have each other’s backs because of shear distance. We won’t last much longer like this. Rota won’t leave the palace, while her father . . . your father is sick and I think its too risky for us to make a direct run to Ziion, if we do get found we can’t take on that many, assuming that all the GPS trackers were their personnel or vehicles.”“Mmmm” Said Mia, “Can I get into contact with Princess Rota, I want to ask her some things?” Mia asked casually“What things?” Jay asked concerned“Princess things” Mia said mischievously“You know I’m going to hear you right, I won’t let you got of my sight”“Maybe”She picked up his hand and put it over h
Day 6Princess Mia had received a call this morning at 8am, Her Father King Levis had passed away overnight. His heart had not been strong enough. She thanked the Doctor and hang up. Shimel and Lacy were by her side in an instant comforting her, crying for her too.Kat took a moment to update the team of the news making it urgent. She wasn’t sure how this would change things but knowing that it would. Princess Rota was now at more risk. She also let the team know what had been decided with the governors that she would have seven days off to mourn and then the Kings funeral would be held. Seven days after she would be crowned Queen. They now had a dead line to find who was behind this attack and prove Mia was a princess. 14 daysRe-groupJay was woken by an urgent update. He opened his comm trying to blink awake. The King had passed and they had 14 days to wrap up this investigation and have a princess
Kat had put in a transport motion for the princess to be driven to the Winter Palace and organised a fake motorcade, complete with servants dressed as the princess and her two attendants. They of course were in mourning, so their faces would be veiled. The princess, Shimel and Lacy however were dressed in full guard battle attire and were smuggled out early as preparations were made for her to leave the palace. Benny had led them to the roof where they were “officially” going on a live weapons training exercise. Jay had his superior to put in a request for transport by the military to the port for training. Ryder and Tilly would be waiting to pick them up. Kat would then be seen publicly having a disagreement with the superior regarding the Princess motorcade security and the superior would have them suspended for a week, Kat, Boris and Beeves would leave the palace immediately. The superior himself would escort the “princess” with a new security team,
“I am totally in love with Jay but he said if we ever get involved, he would be killed? Rota I need this man in my life, he is good and honest and I can’t live in a planet I don’t know with out him. He is my safe place and the only reason I could leave Planet S610.“Oh,” said Rota, not expecting that at all “I see, it is true, for a guard to take a fancy for a princess is normally a death sentence”“What if I marry him before I am proven to be a princess, can I marry him as just Mia.Again, Rota was shocked that Mia would be so bold to suggest it, she must really love him. She reflected about what she knew about Jay and Mia from their reports, they were so similar, in cleverness and abilities maybe they were supposed to be together.“Well I suppose so, in theory, a marriage can’t be broken by royal decree or the governors of Ziion.“If we get married in Mercer will it stand in Ziion?
“Well Rota,” said Jay “Your motorcade was attacked”both the Princesses gasp and quickly asked “was anyone hurt?”“Its like seeing double,” said Bunny“A couple of serious injuries on our side but no casualties. There were however two guards who defected to the other side, they were shot. My superior is very glad we took the precautions we did and got Rota out of there but now we have to decide whether we release news that Rota was killed or survived the attack.If we release news that she was killed, we will have to see who steps up to claim the throne, but that could take time and if Octave isn’t behind this it could put your Aunt and Octave at risk of being on the top of the kill next list. Planet Ziion will also have two funerals for two royals they loved, and it could create unrest.If we release that Rota survived the attack but was whisked away, we can then draw the attackers into a
They were just, taking off from getting “Mistress” fitted out when Jay got an urgent message from his superior: there is intel to suggest your family, is under threat. Can you get them to safety?”Jay went white as a sheet, “Jay what’s wrong” Mia said concerned“My superior thinks my family might be at risk” Jay said“Oh no,” said Mia with a shocked look on her face“Can’t we pick them up, where are they?” Rota suggested, “We have plenty of room on board.” She helped“Are they handy on the tools, getting all this set up inside is going to be a huge job,” Bunny addedJay was lost in thought. “Ryder head to Port Revena” he pulled his comm from his pocked and headed out of the roomMia winked at Rota, but Benny saw and when they turned and walk out, he stalked after them and when they were in an empty corridor,
Jays Mum Marie was the first onto “Mistress” as soon as she saw Mia she flung her arms around her, oh your still here with Jay.“Yep, he hasn’t gotten rid of me yet,” said Mia as she hugged her back.She pulled back and then froze, she had spotted Princess Rota, not believing her eyes. Mia realised.“Marie, this is Princess Rota of Ziion, Rota this is Marie, Jays mother. Her mother bowed her head. Rota approached her and took her hands into hers. Please while we are abord this ship I am just Rota. Just consider us family. Beside you just hugged Princess Mia of Ziion my twin sister. And she laughed as Marie look surprised, then worried, then awed and then furious, everyone was on the ship by that stage and Marie turned on Jay “You had a princess, in handcuffs” she exclaimed dramatically.“Woah,” said his Dad standing behind Jay, he put his hand on Jay’s shoulder “Son we really ne
