Chapter 4
Retrieval (part 1)
Zaypher would have to wait a bit before he could radio in for the half-Track truck to pick up the two unconscious Sligs. He’d have to wait until the Scrab attack was in full commence. But a few moments later, Solister woke up and the first thing she saw was Zaypher spinning the dart gun by the trigger ring on his index finger. She attempted to tackle him and pin him down but she immediately realised that she was shackled to the ground; unable to move. “Oh, I see you’ve woken up” said Zaypher regaining hold of the butt of the dart gun, “there’s no use moving. You are firmly held down to the scorching ground by those shackles and in a few minutes, a half-track truck will soon come here to transport you and Admeet back to our base. There’s nothing you can do”. Solister just lay there and said nothing.
A few moments later, Admeet woke up. And again the first thing he saw was Zaypher. “Ah, Admeet” said Zaypher looking at him, “again, don’t bother moving, you are firmly held down”. However, Admeet didn’t take any of that and started to struggle. Zaypher chuckled quietly at Admeet’s pathetic struggle to move.
Out in the distance, Zaypher could see the two Scrab armies heading towards the complex. Moments later, a few alarms went off in the military complex. He could hear the Sligs assembling at the front blast door. Without Admeet or Solister, he knew that they wouldn’t stand a chance against the two Scrab armies. Zaypher picked up the walkie-talkie and radioed in for the truck to pick them up.
A few moments later, the truck arrived at the designated location. Zaypher un-shackled the two Sligs from the ground but shackled them again by the hands so they could not attack back. Zaypher shoved them into the back of the truck and walked over to the driver. “Take them back to base quickly” said Zaypher looking at the driver. Zaypher jumped into the back of the truck and the truck set off. Admeet wouldn’t want to know what they would do to him; but he would soon find out.
