The Good Traitor, Part 2

The Good Traitor (Part Two)

              Drack opened one of the sliding doors and put Sheer where the supplies or weapons would have gone. Fortunately for Sheer, the space was empty, so there wasn’t anything to make the ride out of the City uncomfortable, except for the hand cuffs, of course. Drack then closed the sliding door.

            He then walked up to the pilot side door and opened it, sat down in the seat, and started the engine of the ship, and let it warm up a little while.

After that, they were off.

During the trip, neither of them spoke for quite a while.  Even the engine of the ship seemed quieter than usual.

Then an hour later, at least it felt that way to Sheer anyway, they finally arrived to the outskirts of Makuhero City. The outskirts looked so vacant, so lonely; it looked deader than a ghost town.

“Well, we’re here,” Drack said in a deep, almost strained voice. As if there was some emotion put into it. Odd.

Sheer didn’t respond. She was at a loss of words.

Drack then got out of the pilot seat, opened the door, and stepped out. He walked over to the sliding door, opened it, and stepped inside. He released the handcuffs from Sheer’s wrists and led her out of the ship, all done with surprising gentleness. Also odd.

“Go, before anyone sees you,” Drack exclaimed, glancing around quickly. He looked a little worried.

So that’s what Sheer did. She got out of there.

“Hurry,” Drack said, just loud enough for her to hear.

Then she started running away from the ship. She didn’t know whether or not to look back.

She eventually did, but just long enough to see Drack take off in his ship, and then he was gone. Now she was alone.

She wondered, as she ran, why Drack seemed to be so gentle with her when dropping her off outside the City. He did it with surprising care.  He even spoke as if there was emotion put into it.

Did he really care for her, but didn’t let it show around the Leaders? Or was it a sudden change in feelings toward her? Maybe he planned this so she wouldn’t have to be deactivated if she was seen by another Villain.

Whatever the case was, she was still alive, and she wasn’t going to let anyone harm her.

But, what would she do for supplies? Now she had to live among the Stays. They most likely wouldn’t attack her, they would be too afraid. Maybe she should look for Aleck, the Stray she was caught talking to. Maybe he may be able to help her.

Then, that gave her an Idea.

            So, she started going to where she was supposed to meet him today. Hopefully she could find him sometime soon. She also hoped no one would see her on her way there, though. She would be killed on sight! She had to be stealthy.

She would also have to tell Aleck what happened. She hoped that he might know of a place she could stay. Hopefully he won’t have too much trouble doing that, she thought.

So, she started off to meet up with Aleck.
