Snippet #2547713

Aiden rode in the back of a jet black limousine. He sat across from the two agents that had come to get him. The windows of the limousine were tinted and although he couldn't see just where they were going he made a mental note of every turn they made and how long each strait was. By his calculations they were headed straight for the Space Station but he couldn't figure out why. He would have been notified if he had been reassigned to another post but these men hadn't said anything to him after he got in the car. He was about to ask just which branch of the government these men were from when the car came to a stop. Wilhelm came out, followed closely by the so called agents, and found himself on one of the Space Station's launch pads. None but the most wealthy people could afford their own spaceship and Will didn't know anyone with that much money. Not even the government officials he was hired to protect made enough to have their own interstellar craft. The two men gestured for Wilhelm to get into the craft and he complied.

He had enough money on him at any time to get from any human-populated planet back to Earth. If they took him to another planet in the Lux System he would be able to afford a shuttle ticket back home and figure things out from there. As he was musing this over he was also observing the interior of the craft. Whomever it belonged to certainly spared no expense, the entire thing was lavishly decorated to look like a very posh study. There were book cases, several armchairs, a large desk with a mantle behind it and even a fake fireplace in the corner. Instead of fire there was a cluster of glowing crystals within that gave off a soft glow. Sitting behind the desk was a very well dressed man, his suit had to cost at least $4000 and yet he wore it as if it didn't mean a thing to him. Wilhelm sat in one of the armchairs as the two agents sealed the door. The engine rumbled to life and he could feel the shift in air pressure as the artificial gravity was turned on. Will made himself as comfortable as possible and waited for the man to speak.

"You have some very interesting talents Will, do you mind if I call you Will?. Talents that we could really put to good use. You see we've been watching yo for quite some time now. Watching how you handle dangerous situations, how you save that fool of a governor from the lion's jaws without him even knowing he was in danger." Aiden's eye twitched imperceptibly and his fingers drummed on the side of the chair. He took a long look at the man sitting across from him, he could feel the eyes of the agents watching his every move. It was clear that they knew who he was and what he could do. "First of all I do mind you calling me Will. Secondly where are you taking me? And thirdly, what exactly do you plan to do with my talents?" "All will be explained in good time, once we get to Earth."
