EZEKIEL

He picks up one of the coins from the pile infront of him and rolls it between his fingers, putting a lazy expression on his face, disguising his irritation and anger as best he could. He forces his heartbeat to keep steady, because at the slightest sign of defiance, the Zillian prince infront of him will most likely kill him. Or atleast try. And today is not the day this piece of scum infront of him gets to die. Oh no, his plans for the Zillians are much much bigger than just a swift and peaceful death.

"And why would I be interested in such a proposition at all?" Ezekiel asks, feigning interest in the subject.

"Are you deaf mercenary?" Irritation flashes across the Zillian's green reptillian face. "Get the girl for me and this," he points to the gold with his tail, "will be yours."

Ezekiel throws the coin he has been holding onto the table with the rest of the pile. "This is an Earth metal that is weak and has no value to me, you must think me a fool to risk my life for a pile of shiny rock." He says nonchalantly and lays back in his seat, watching anger spread over the Zillian's face at his couldn't-care-less- attitude.

"Kiel, you will get this woman and bring her to me, or I will destroy that worthless piece of space junk you call a ship, and you can stay here for the rest of your life and be my personal punching bag. Or you can do this job and" He once again points to the pile of gold coins infront of him, "with this you can go and live on that useless planet untill you die."

Ezekiel is trying his best to hold his composure, but its becoming harder by the minute. For one, he hates this reptile infront of him, more that words would ever be able to explain, he has been imagening various senarios where the Zillian is begging for mercy since he landed on this hot rock, and two, he needs to know what he is up to. The Zillians have been planning something huge for the past few years that involves various planets and he is determined to find out what their plans are. Untill now nobody has been able to get close enough to them to figure out, but now he has.

Ezekiel places a mock shocked expression on his face. "I have a fondness for you to Zainith, but I really preffer female company."

One of the reptile gaurds at his back snikers, and the Zillian prince rises to his feet, furious. He whips his tail and the coins go flying through the air. A second later the lizard has his tail wraped around Ezekiel's neck, watching with satisfaction as his blue skin turns even darker blue. Ezekiel fights the urge to slice Zainith into pieces.

Zainith leans over his desk and his yellow eyes bore into Ezekiels purple ones when he says: "Get the woman or you will die a horrible death." He tilts his head to the side in a mocking gesture. "Do you understand?"

Ezekiel lets a "Yes" escape through his clenched teeth. He has to remind himself to act atleast a little weak when the lizzard lets him go. He fake coughs and fake gasps for air while he rubs his neck where Zainiths' tail was. His boiling with anger.

Aparently feeling satisfied, Zainith orders his gaurds to usher him out of the rock palace to his ship.

Finally alone on his ship, he sets course for Earth, not doubting that the Zillians will be monitoring his movements somehow, or atleast tracking the ship to confirm he is doing what they have asked.

That has been the problem from the start: Zillian's got their hands on technology unfamiliar in this side of the galaxy. And he wants it.

He sets his ship to autopilot and moves to his sleeping quaters. Might as well get some sleep before his ship reaches Earth, as it will take atleast a 4 daycycle to get there. Kidnapping women is not what he signed up for, but to get his hands on the new technology of the Zillians, he is going to have to, and figure out a plan out of this mess afterwards.

"Open communications screen." he says loudly once laying on his bed. A screen pops up infront of him, armlength away. He quickly pulls the communication file from the Zillian prince and looks through the information given. Name, where to find his target, her daily routine, some likes and dislikes, close family members, etc. To be honest the file was quite thurough and he furrowed his eyebrows together.

Why would the lizard be interested in this human? It makes no sense. The only problem with the file is the lack of images. Its really strange. Even the fact that Zainith sent him instead of fetching the female himself is strange.

He has a feeling that this is how he will trap the Zillian prince. Now for some sleep and afterwards, he will work on his plans.
