<font color=blue>Wincing at the headache that now plagued her, Terolyn pushed one of the security guards out of his chair and sat down. Kicking her feet up onto the consol she sat behind, she leaned back in the chair, watching the goings on inside the cell.

" How sweet, I think I'm getting a cavity."

She rubbed at her temples, but the pain did not go away. Growling in frustration she turned to the guard that was just getting off the floor.

" Don't just stand there, imbecile! Get me a neural inhibitor from the medbay." She turned back to the console screen as the guard hurried to do as he was told.

Raktus has lost it if he thinks he can keep a Solo imprisoned without the others coming for her. But that's fine by me. I'd be doing the galaxy a favor if I could get rid of the lot of them.

Cairo Solo stood outside of the IDTech building and looked up, craneing her neck back to see the very tip-top. She gulped and sighed heavily. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Here goes...everything.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

She had made an appointment before she arrived, so she knew she was expected and wouldn't be bargeing in. She had dressed in her fine Borman Royalty robes and put her hair up and made it a point to look her best. She knew Jai and Rogan must be in trouble, for Jai would have given her some feedback by now...and since she hadn't, was the reason Cairo had come. She was going to do this the right way, rather than play hero like she was sure Jai had tried to do.

Cairo finally got up enough nerve to walk inside the building...it hadn't changed in the year that she'd been gone since quitting. That made her feel a bit more secure. She walked up to the desk and introduced herself.

"Katrina Cairo Solo to see Mr. Raktus..."

"WHO!?"
He couldnt believe it, she was back at IDTech headquarters, and here to see him!
"Maybe shes comeback to IDT, or maybe she just wants to see me again"
he thought to himself. He was so full of those delusions about this particular Solo that the thought hadnt even crossed his mind about what he'd done about the other two solo's.
"Well, what are you waiting for!? Send her up, SEND HER UP!"

"Oh my...dear...um...Yes, Sir. Right away, Sir." The receptionist scrambled around to Cairo and literally pushed her into the lift, slapped the button that went to the top floor.

"Ma'am..I uh..." The doors to the lift closed before Cairo could say anything more. "O....k then."

She sighed and endured the long trip up to Raktus' floor. 'Endured' because Cairo was deathly afraid of heights and the sensation and knowledge that she was going so high up made her turn a little pale. After a good long ride the lift stopped and the doors finally opened...

He stood just between his desk and the lift, hands behind his back and a monster sized grin on his face as he waited for the magical moment those dorrs would open. As they did and he saw the shrunken figure of the solo woman as she sank back against the wall, He grabed her attention by moving forewards, arms open wide...

"Cario, its so wonderful to see you again, I thought you wouldnt be coming back here again"

Cairo gulped and hoped she wouldn't puke...because all she could see was the big gapeing floor-to-ceiling windows that went all around Raktus' room. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Sky...clouds...high up....oy...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

That's when she spotted Raktus...she wondered if he was drunk or something.
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Why, in the name of the minions of Xendor, is he so happy to see me?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Um...Hello, Sir."

He saw how she stumbled in and approached her, placing a hand on herback he guided her gently into the room.
"Please have a seat, relax, take a load off. Im so happy to see you, thought id never have the pleasure of your presence again. I must say it does warm the heart. So, what can I attribute your visit to"

Pleasure? Warms the heart?...had he gone mad? Cairo didn't know what to think, she was getting a hero's welcome...and why she had no clue. He was being so nice...

"Well...it's nice to see you too, Sir. What I've come about is a simple inquiry. My sister, Jaina, and brother in law, Rogan's last know whereabouts came from here, Reecee. I'm not accuseing, mind you, just wondering if you've seen them. I know you can't tabs on everything that goes on onplanet, and was just wondering if you'd seen my family. Have you, Sir?"

"errr..."
He couldnt lie to her, it just wasnt in him. He thought up a good story at first but simply sighed, looking at her from across the office, striaght into her eyes, those lovely shining orbs that could attract a man from parsec's away...

"Yes, in fact I do know where they are. You see a while back your, brother in law was it?, yes, well he seemed to want to cuase me some physical harm when he went for his weapon in front of me. Luckily I had my security on hand to take care of the situation, otherwise I dont know what might have happened..."

"Rogan? Why, Raktus, he wouldn't hurt a fly!...If he reached to do anything, it was to scratch an itch or something."

Cairo had to hold back a laugh at the very thought. Rogan? Causeing physical harm? What an idea!

"Well...where is he now? And where is Jaina? Have you happened to see her around?"
