Mission:
Kidnapped
Location: Amos Quarters On Unknown Ship
Timeline: Current
ON:
Amos walked into his quarters after Usher had found Cyndi missing “He’ knows your gone, he’s furious,” Amos said
Cyndi looked around this quarters, it consisted of a double bed, a desk, a dresser for his clothes and a table and in another room was a small bathroom. Looking at Amos “Why did you help me?”
“I overheard what you said to Lila about your husband and son, I may be loyal to Usher but the thought of him selling you into a life of slavery and your husband and little guy not knowing what happened to you was more than I could bear. I have a wife and kids and I know how I’ feel if I was separated from them for the rest of my life. I’ll protect you as long as I can but he finds you,” Amos said
Cyndi nodded “I understand, how many ships are in orbit?”
Amos scratched his chin, about fifty, why?”
“I need a way to signal my ship so they’ll know what ship I’m being held on,” Cyndi said
“What do you need?” Amos asked
“Access to your ship’s transponder signal. I know how to reconfigure it so it will send an SOS out,” Cyndi replied
Amos thought for a few minutes “I have a computer in here that can tie into things, but won’t he know where it came from if he finds out that the transponder code has changed?”
Cyndi shook her head “I know how to erase any trace of what I’ll do, and unless your crew is told about it by another ship or someone on the planet.”
Amos looked at her and smiled “Besides being in command of that ship and being a Princess just what do you know how to do?”
“I’m a scientist and the Princess thing is not valid as long as I’m in Starfleet. They have a rule about royals serving on ships and still holding our titles. Therefore my title is documented that it’s on hold until such time I leave Starfleet and return home to claim it. I’m a Federation Flag Officer; I hold the rank of Commodore. I have three other royals under my command and they all have the same documentation on file. All we want is to be treated as anyone else,” Cyndi replied “Can you help me?”
“It’s worth it to see the look on Usher’s face when he finds out the ship is going to transmit SOS,” Amos said as he opened his computer and logged in “Have a seat and work your magic, this I have to see.”
Cyndi took a seat and after several minutes found the program she needed. It took only a matter of seconds for her to get the transponder code to change and transmit the SOS. Backing out of the programs and erasing every trace she’d ever been there. Got to her feet and looked at Amos. “Thank you, it’s done.”
“You’re going to have to stay with me until your ship gets here,” seeing the frightened look on her face “You’ll have the bed and I’ll sleep in a chair, I won’t touch you, as much as I want to. You’re married and I won’t do that to you. I’ve done it to other women Usher has brought here for sale but your different.” Taking her hand he looked at the burn marks and the bloody bruises on her writs. “Just how bad are you hurt?”
Cyndi took a seat on the bed “There’s not a part of me that doesn’t hurt, from my arms, to my shoulders, my wrists, my stomach and every place in between.”
“I can’t call the doctor, he’ll tell Usher and that won’t go well. I’m sorry you’ll have to suffer until your ship gets here.” Amos said “Lay back and get some rest, no one knows you’re here. I have to get back to work. Don’t answer the door, and I’ll be back later.”
Cyndi thanked him and winced as she laid back, her stomach was cramping. Closing her eyes as several tears fell.
Amos pulled a blanket over her and left the room. He wondered if Cyndi could be pregnant? If she was Usher had taken that from her by the torture he put her through.
