Arrested and Corrected (The Mission 10)

Charles was extremely mad, he and Alatem had called Trok over an hour ago, the bastard still hadn’t shown up.
Finally Trok called to tell them he was where they had instructed him to meet them. Charles gave Alatem a kiss before
he had Ally flash him to the surface. Charles looked around and motioned for Tok to advance, a strange smile crossed
Trok’s face then he ordered unseen assailants to open fire! At first Trok thought the strange man would get away but
upon further investigating, he could see the man was dead, now maybe the princess could clear her head. Trok was glad
that now he could protect her while the rest of the family was eliminated, with her uncle on the throne at last the
empire would be back on the way to glory.


Alatem was at her father’s side when the news came in that Charles had been killed. The emperor was saddened
that the man that had saved his family so many times was dead, looking at Alatem he could see that she was visibly
shaken, damn it what could he do?
“Alatem I am sorry I know he was a friend of yours I…” her father started.
“NO father, you don’t know! you don’t know at ALL!” she practically screamed at him. “This was all your doing YOU
could have prevented this!” Running from the room the emperor was heart broken hearing her gasping sobs as she headed
to her room.


Alatem contacted Allie the moment she was in her room, immediately she was whisked away to the Time Raider.
Impress Mita could only shake her head this was tragic news indeed, she had thought that Charles was far to smart and
brilliant to ever get caught, let alone get his self killed. Melina was sitting in a corner crying her eyes out NO!
she didn’t believe it! That man was far to fast and cunning to have been killed this easy NO! Melina didn’t believe
for a moment that he was dead, the more she thought about the more she was convinced this was a ruse. The only thing
was how was she going to prove it? She was only 10 and had no access to the tech that her sister or the man did. Hmmm
this was starting to get interesting but there had to be a way! Aboard the Time Raider Alatem and Allie were tracking
the movements of her uncle and his oldest son, they might not be able to seize him but they could find where the
other warehouses were and finally destroy his plan.


For hours they tracked him ’til they finally had the location of the last three clone labs. Alatem began to
program all the coordinates they had and sent them via a special carrier wave that Charles had programed before he
left. Sighing Alatem was still upset that so much danger had to be involved, Charles was her world now, without him
she didn’t know if she could go on. On the planet a shadowy figure was following the uncle, still not time it thought
but soon all this shit would be over then it would be time to solve the other royal ass problems namely that stubborn
ass of an emperor! A sudden movement nearby caught the figure’s attention it was about time! Now maybe this business
could be concluded and other important issues. Sighing the figure moved in to take a better look cradling the weapon
for dear life.


Tiberias, the emperor’s brother growled at his oldest son, “what do you mean you can’t find either of them?!”
Rearing back he slapped the younger man across the face producing a rapidly reddening mark on the man’s cheek.
“I looked in all their haunts, after the 2 labs were destroyed nothing!” The man told his father, damn it the man had
a hellacious temper plus the fact that no one did anything right as far as he was concerned.
“I don’t give a shit about your excuses!” Tiberias snarled, “your younger excuse of a brother still has the
controller, without it we are screwed! Now get your ass out there and find it!” Roughly kicking his oldest son to
emphasize just how serious he was, the son looked away a look of extreme anger crossing his face, you wait you
pathetic old man, you wait you’ll be licking my boots before this is over he thought.
Tiberias was worried now though there was a bright spot at least that mystery man was finally out of the way, no more
of his interference.


The shadowy figure slipped deeper into the shadows, a controller huh? This was starting to get very
interesting indeed! Mita was deep into the royal records and almost hadn’t noticed the emperor entering her study,
clicking off her screen when he approached her.
“I’m worried about Alatem,” he started, “she was ranting at me when I tried to express sympathy over the man being
killed. I am at a loss when it comes to her.’ With a huge sigh he sat in the chair next to her.
Mita just shook her head as a husband and a ruler he was a fabulous man but as a father she swore at time he was
plain clueless!
“My love, you know she is in love, I am afraid the mystery man was the one she may have been in love with. It all
makes perfect sense to me, as much as the man did was there no way to make him a royal?” Mita asked though she
thought she knew the answer.
“No my love, not any I can think of, there are only a few instances where one can be made royal without public
testing. From what little I learned of the man, it appears highly unlikely that he could meet any of the criteria.
Now it appears that Alatem has vanished again.” Bowing his head in his hands the emperor felt more defeated than he
ever had.


Alatem watched everything she could on the readings, at least they had physical evidence that her uncle
Tiberias was alive and consorting to produce a clone army.
