Ursa turned her yellow eyes towards the young man, her expression remaining slightly deadpan as she eyed Draykon, “[color=00746b]I like to keep it professional… Draykon. You know that. Plus I don’t want to encourage the belief that you and I are. Well, how do I put it eloquently, ‘chums’.[/color]” 

Despite her words, she gave him a friendly smile, “[color=00746b]Surprising that we are thrown into another mission again so soon. Especially by the same employer. It’s happened..but not often enough.[/color]”

“[color=9e0b0f]You’re right it doesn’t happen often. Do you know where we are headed or do you need the information[/color]” He replied in a joking manner, watching Ursa’s expression? “[color=9e0b0f]The only thing that really concerns me is the fact that with this contact there was so much uncertainty what do you think?[/color]”

As they were talking Emmett was also keeping an eye on their surroundings so nothing changes, as he knows they are not the best of people according to the public that is.

Ursa walked over towards the bookstore owner remaining calm, “[color=00746b]Of course I know where we are headed. Don’t worry about transportation. I will get you to the planet. You deal with the target and remember same as before, I don’t want to see it, I don’t want to know where it is going down, and I don’t want the blood on my hands.[/color]” 

She grabbed out another book then turned to look at Emmett, "[color=00746b]You stick to what you do and I stick to what I do. Also uncertainty? Who cares. If taking you to kill the poor bugger, means I get 300,000 kredits than that is what I am going to do.[/color]” 

She laughed bringing the books up to the table and handed the man two 200 kredits, way over the selling price of the books, before speaking again, “[color=00746b]Besides if someone is willing to pay that much to kill this guy... then he probably deserves it in my opinion.[/color]”

“[color=9e0b0f]Honestly, I don’t really care if they deserve it or not it’s all in the money,[/color]” He said with a chuckle as he was following Ursa out the store, “[color=9e0b0f]How long will it take for you and your crew to be ready? Need a few hours?[/color]" Emmett said as he knew that he was always ready, but for someone with a large transport ship and a crew to move it might take a while. Emmett studied the outside and surrounding shops and noticed that he was correct with his much earlier statement, that Ursa was not alone. He noticed Dill, whom he had met before buying the most impractical and downright ugliest of shoes at the shoe store but he did not notice anyone else from her crew. '[color=9e0b0f][i]Normally she would have about two or three people with her but one?[/i][/color]' he thought to himself as they were in the alleyway.

Ursa walked down onto the street, stretching to signify to Dill to follow her in 10. She then turned looking to the left her eye’s connecting with Juniper. She nodded lightly before turning to Emmett, “[color=00746b]Walk towards the third in line at the bus stop and then follow her back towards my ship in about twenty minutes. I will explain details there. Also, you hit on her or make her feel in any way uncomfortable. You are sleeping below docks in the sanitation room.[/color]” 

She popped on some sunglasses then headed down the street making her way back she came with Dill following behind after about fifteen minutes later. 

Emmett walked over to the girl that was third in line as he was instructed. “[color=9e0b0f]Are you here to take me back?[/color]” he asked the girl that was standing there, trying not to draw anyone's attention. He looked at her dressed in all white with flower petals, with short brown hair with amber eyes. He thought to himself, '[color=9e0b0f][i]I’ve never seen eyes like that before so rich with color, but also rich with sadness.[/i][/color]' He studied her as he waited for her answer. 

Juniper turned toward the voice that spoke slowly, her eyes landing on a tall male. Her brows furrowed slightly, confused at his remark. She had never seen this person before in her life, and she was sure he wasn’t one of Ursa’s crew members. 

“[color=f9ad81]Uhm… I don’t think so? I don’t know you?[/color]” She asked him curiously, though starting to doubt herself. “[color=f9ad81]Do I?[/color]” 

“[color=9e0b0f]Oh I’m sorry, where are my manners. The name is Emmett Draykon, you can call me Emmett.[/color]” he said with a slight bow and tilt of his head. “[color=9e0b0f]Ursa sent me over to ask you for the way to the ship, as she is preoccupied with other business. I can also see why she threatened me about you as well.[/color]” he said with a soft smile.

Juniper’s eyebrow raised then, and she shook her head a little. “[color=f9ad81]You just need to follow me back to the ship then, I suppose.[/color]” She said this as a fact, though her voice was still kind. She saw Ursa nod her head a few minutes before, and so Juniper began to walk back toward the ship, keeping a close eye for police of any kind. She wanted to roll her eye at Emmett’s last comment, but ignored it instead. 

“[color=f9ad81]My name is Juniper.[/color]” 

A short while later, they made it back to the ship, and she headed up onto the platform quietly. 

As they made it back to the ship unnoticed, Emmett walked onto the ship acknowledging all the crew members that he knew nodding his head or waving at them. As they walk through the ship waiting for Ursa to show up, Emmett curiously watched the young girl that walked in front of him. It wasn’t like Ursa to bring on new crew members so young or even at all. “[color=9e0b0f]So how long have you worked for Ursa, Juniper?[/color]” He spoke to her softly trying to be friendly.

“[color=f9ad81]Oh… I don’t work for her. She’s planning to drop me off at the next stop…[/color]” Juniper said, her voice just barely a whisper, her eyes to the floor. 

“[color=9e0b0f]Drop you off? Why would she do that to you?[/color]” he said as he saw her eyes drop to the floor. “[color=9e0b0f]So she plans on leaving you with me on the next drop? I don’t really think that’s a good idea as on the next drop, I have a job to do and it’s not really a job I would take you to.[/color]”

Ursa headed into the platform with Dill behind her carrying two large sacks of food. She tossed them to the edge before speaking up in response to Emmett, “[color=00746b]Well then what do you suppose I do Emmett? Let her join our crew and become a criminal just off the bat. In the words of ol Jerry, ‘I ain’t fishing for snapper when I already have cod in the kitchen.’ Besides Zaron is a big planet with a ton of ports she can easily catch a ride on a rig there.[/color]” 

She turned to Dill and pointed towards the kitchen in response to the sacks of food before speaking up, "[color=00746b]Also, quit giving me that look about the Crocs. It was funny as hell and you know it![/color]"

“[color=9e0b0f]Do you honestly think it’s the best idea to leave her there? Would you rather her get killed or worse? You of all people know the kind of people that live on that planet let alone in that galaxy.[/color]” He said in an almost condescending tone. “[color=9e0b0f]I wouldn’t want a pretty young thing such as her to have to fend for herself on that planet and I don’t think you want that on your conscience, or what you have left anyways![/color]”
 
Ursa crossed her arms and leaned against the metal wall eyeing Draykon with her own condescending stare, “[color=00746b]You really underestimate my kindness Draykon. Also slightly hypocritical coming from you, I would say. However, I see your point.[/color]” She turned to Juniper, “[color=00746b]You still have the kredits. This is your stop. Door’s just there.[/color]” 

She turned to Draykon with a cold stare, “[color=00746b]There. Conscience cleaned.[/color]”

“[color=9e0b0f]Okay well if you leave her here how much money does she have? I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be enough to last her till she can find whatever kind of job that doesn’t involve our line of work. I mean she can come with us but she doesn’t have to do the actual crimes we commit.[/color]” Emmett said with a disapproving look. “[color=9e0b0f]I understand you’re just looking out for her hoping she doesn’t follow our line of work but honestly what else is she going to do? Next you’re going to say she should be a cop or something stupid like that.[/color]” He said with a soft chuckle.

Ursa remained calm, although her tone turned sharp, “[color=00746b]I’m sorry I think you are mistaking me for a charity worker. I saved her from a destructive planet, I gave her 500 kredits, and I transported her to a planet where she has WAAAAY more of a chance of survival than where she started. So let me state this plainly. I don’t give a shit, what she does, and if you feel so charitable how about you foot the bill for her new life because I ain’t doing it.[/color]”

“[color=f9ad81]If I’m such a burden, I’ll get off here.[/color]” Juniper’s voice which was normally very kind and soft turned annoyed and almost offended. “[color=f9ad81]And don’t speak about me as if I’m not here![/color]” She shouted at the end, her eyes stinging with another round of tears as he headed toward the door which held the platform, the petals of her dress swaying slightly as she moved.

As Juniper was leaving Emmett grabbed her hand “[color=9e0b0f]You are welcome to stay at my house if you choose to leave. If you choose to stay you can come along with me. I have no problems teaching you and keeping you out of trouble but it’s a choice you need to make![/color]” after he was done speaking he let her go. He looked to Ursa “[color=9e0b0f]I understand how you feel about everything and not wanting to add more people and what not.,[/color]” pausing for a second, “[color=9e0b0f]How about she stays with me? That way you don’t have to spend extra money or time on her and I will watch out for her and take responsibility for her.[/color]” 

Ursa’s frown turned into a cocky smirk, “[color=00746b]Done. You want to train her in your line of business that is up to the both of you. I will fulfill the transport for as long as necessary to complete the job then when you leave my ship, you take her with you. Problem solved.[/color]” 

She grabbed her bags of food then headed towards the kitchen, feeling exhausted with the whole discussion. She turned to Emmett one more time before disappearing, "[color=00746b]Close the door when you figure out what you two want to do. We leave in ten, and Emmett you are in the guest room, like before.[/color]” 

She headed down the hall heading towards the kitchen than to the cockpit where she fist bumped Mac and nodded to Takashi before walking over to the tabletop to set coordinates for Zaron. Mac looked at her with sharp eyes, “[color=fff200]You really are going to leave her with him? She’s just a kid.[/color]” 

Ursa gave him a serious stare, “[color=00746b]It isn’t my or your business what she does. Now that is enough about it. Prepare for takeoff and set the jets to burn.[/color]” 

Juniper simply stared up at Emmett. She didn’t really want to go with him, but it seemed at this moment there was not much choice in the matter since Ursa didn’t want her. Ah, who was she kidding anyway? She was useless as far as they were concerned. 

“[color=f9ad81]I’ll just go with him.[/color]” She said to Ursa, her eyes dull, her voice sad. She sat down and brought her knees to her chest, then waited for them to take off.

Ursa waited until Emmett and Juniper were in the cockpit and nodded at Juniper's decision. She felt a little guilty, looking at the girl but... she would not be the one to turn the girl into a criminal. This might make her out to be an asshole, but at least she was a consistent one. She turned to Takashi and nodded, "[color=00746b]All right. Let's get this mother out of the port and into the skies.[/color]" She then turned to Anna, "[color=00746b]Anna, Track three, and crank it.[/color]" 

Suddenly the music filled the cockpit, as thoughts of money and Zaron filled Ursa's head.
