Chapter 9: Slaves

I let out a sigh as I walked into my room and found Omega fast asleep. I pulled a blanket over her and limped over to my desk. I plopped down and pulled up a file. I heard a knock on the door and turned my head to see Hunter walk in.

"Is Omega asleep?" Hunter asked softly.

"Yep. She's fast asleep. Probably for the best." I said softly.

"We are heading out. Should be back after we grab the kid." He said softly.

"Alright. I'll keep an eye on Omega." I said softly.

"We shouldn't be gone long." He said as I turned my chair.

"Be safe, I don't know what she would do with out you guys." I said softly.

"About what you told us.... Thank you for trusting us." Hunter said softly.

"Hunter, out of everyone in the republic..... your team is probably on the list of the few people I trust." I said softly.

He nodded his head and I sent him a smile.

"Not to mention you trust me with your brother's lives... I think I can trust you with mine." I said softly.

He sent me a small smile and turned and walked out of the room, leaving me and Omega alone. I turned back to my computer and smiled as I got to work on reorganizing my files.

After what felt like hours I heard a voice from outside.

"We found their ship." A voice said.

I snuck to the cockpit and my eyes went wide as I saw Zygerrian slavers. I ran back to my room and rushed over to Omega.

"Omega get up now." I whispered as I shook her awake.

"What's going-"

I covered her mouth as I heard the ship door open.

"Slavers." I mouthed.

She nodded her head and I picked her up and snuck her out of my room and towards Crosshair's room.

I silently hoped he wouldn't be to mad that I had her hide in here instead of my room.

"Hide here. I'll be back." I whispered as I left the room.

I pulled my blaster out and snuck into the kitchen.

"Doesn't look like there is anyone else." One of them said calmly.

"Still, Raney wants us to check the ship."

My heart stopped and I had to calm my breathing. I quickly stepped out and aimed at the slavers, shooting them both dead. I put my blaster away and looked outside and saw their speeders.

"Omega you can come out!" I called to her.

She rushed out of the room and ran up to me. I crouched down and gently hugged her.

"It's okay, love. They can't hurt you." I said as I rubbed her back.

"What about the guys?" She asked through tears.

"I'll get them. You stay here." I said softly.

"But-"

"No buts. Stay on this ship." I said as I stood up.

I grabbed Crosshair's extra rifle and left the ship. I stopped outside the ship and spotted a chain cutter. I quickly picked it up and slipped it in my pocket.

I made my way to the camp and saw that the boys were all tied up. I let out small breath of air as I saw Raney talking to them. I looked through the scope of the rifle and held my breath as I aimed it at him.

"Whose that?" A voice whispered.

My head whipped around and I saw Omega beside me.

"I said to-"

"I wasn't letting you go alone." She said softly.

"That's Raney, he's a Zygerrian slaver." I said softly.

"So how do we stop him?"

"Well I'm going to try and get a shot on him." I said as I aimed down the scope again.

"But that could put the guys in danger."

I let out a sigh as I moved my hand away from the trigger.

"Okay, I want you to sneak down there.... See if you can get this to Tech." I said as I pulled a tool out of my pocket.

She nodded her head and snuck down the rocks. I looked back through the scope and kept my eyes on Raney. I watched as he walked over to Wrecker and glared down at him.

"Make a move.... I dare you." I whispered as I kept my hand on the trigger.

I watched as he turned and I saw a smirk on his face as he looked right at me. I moved my eye away from the scope and felt my heart stop. I quickly turned around, just in time for the blunt end of pole to hit me in the face.

When I next woke up I had chains around my wrist and a collar around my neck. I gripped at the collar and looked around. My eyes landed on the boys and I saw that Crosshair was trying to get his collar off.

"I must say, I didn't think I'd ever get you back." A voice said from behind me.

I quickly turned and my heart stopped as I came face to face with Raney.

"Hello (Y/n). Did you miss your master?" He asked with a smirk.
