He snapped his head in her direction. "That's not my name." Nick hissed at the woman.
"According to every file we have here, which includes a copy of you birth certificate, Nicca IS your name!" Lila shot back.
Nick smirked, "If you have all those official documents, then you would know my last name, wouldn't you?"
Lila opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again. "I did not come here to discuss you name!" She changed the subject.
"Then why did you come here. Ya know, you have no right to keep me here."
"You are incredibly bold considering your position."
"I get it from my father." Nick replied.
"Who was he?"
"A man."
"Enough of this smart talk!" Lila snapped. Nick tried to conceal his laughter. He knew he was getting to her.
"Who the hell was the man aboard your ship?!"
"Brian."
Lila looked as if she was about to hit him. "Not Brili-"
"HIS NAME is BRIAN!"
"I don't give a shit what either of your names are! I just want to know of the stowaway that was aboard you ship!" Lila screamed.
"What stowaway?" Nick played dumb. "Besides if there WAS a stowaway, which there WASN'T, how would I know about it, they stay hidden. That's the point, they hide on a ship to get somewhere-" Nick stopped when her fist hit his gut. For such a small woman, she was extremely strong. Nick doubled over in pain.
"I'm going to ask you one more time." Lila was trying to regain her composure. "Who was the stowaway on you ship coming form Hungta?"
"I-I don't know." Nick gasped for air.
She hit him again, "Lying won't get you anywhere. Now lets try this again, who was he?" Nick refused to answer. Lila pulled a blade from her robe and prepared to hit Nick with it.

Aaron and Angel ran in the shadows to the docking bay. Aaron wore the hood of his tunic to cover his blonde hair. They sat, concealed by the shadows in the docking bay waiting for AJ and Kevin. The two older men had changed back into their royal uniforms and were clearing their take off with the docking agent. Aaron watched the entire scene with large brown eyes.
Aaron's vision became clouded and a new scene appeared in front of his eyes.
A soft light material covered his battered skin. His body ached all over and all he wanted was for it to end. A woman walked to the edge of the bed he was laying on and she kissed his forehead tenderly. She spoke inaudible words. He thought that if he could just reach the kinfe that was tucked into her dress he could get out of there.
As she leaned down to kiss him again, he pulled her down with him, deepening the kiss. She was caught off guard, but welcomed it. Her hands began to roam his body. His hand when to her waist and he swiftly grabbed the blade. She never felt the movement at her hip. He slowly moved his hand to her neck and gently rested the kinfe against the flesh.
The vision dispersed and Aaron was once again looking at the space port. He shook his head, wondering where the vision came from. Angel looked at him quizingly. The two shared a silent conversation. Once she was satisfied her twin was all right, she turned her attention back to watching the royal guards.
The plan was simple. While the workers were loading the cargo, the twins would sneak into the cargo bay. Once they reached the royal ship they would sneak off in the same manor. Kevin would give them mental instructions from there.
Aaron watched as AJ gave the signal, which was him adjusting his uniform. He looked in the direction of the twins and gave them the silent go-ahead. Aaron and Angel slipped into a new set of shadows. They quickly made their way aboard, unnoticed. The two sat in the cargo bay, waiting for the next step of the plan.
