Alexis let herself smile for a second before stopping. Noemi was calm, a bit too calm for Alexis's liking. She either had tricks under her sleve, which made sense for a bounty this big on her head. A million alive, half a million dead. Both could make her very rich and carefree. 

She thought about it very hard, she could snap her spine or just put a bullet in her and be done with it. No fuss, no threats. A part of her stopped her though. If this girl wasn't the one the client was looking for, she would just kill an innocent. She done it before, many times but innocents always came back to haunt her when she went to sleep and another one to the count wouldn't make her feel any better. 

"[color=silver] I don't know who you are, nor do I care, to be honest but you're worth enough both alive and dead. Let's try to avoid the latter, shall we? If you're not who I've got the bounty for, you'll be free to go. No problem. [/color]" said Alexis. Her spoke the truth and her tone indicated as much kindness she could offer for a possible innocent.  
"[color=silver] Now. Move. Slowly. Hands in front of you. No funny business. [/color]" her tone was like steel now and she said one more thing before pushing her slightly with the sword in the spine. "[color=silver] I'm doing myself a big favor. [/color]"

She guided Noemi slowly through the ship and after two minutes, they arrived at the brig. Not a proper brig, but it was remade to look similar to a prison cell from the prison Alexis was in. Two layers of bars, one of the same metal the ship was made and another one of energy. Even if the ship would run out of power, the metal would keep the prisoner inside. 
Alexis pushed Noemi inside the prison cell, closed the metal door with an physical key. Something not very common these days but it short of stealing the key or breaking the metal, the door would remain close and yelled to JV to close the energy wall too. 

"[color=silver] JV. Keep an eye on her and tell me if she even approaches the cell walls. Also, call client 24@41!. [/color]"

The call went through in a matter of seconds and the face of a male man appeared. His face was hidden from view with encryption software.

"[color=silver] CFD agent - Alexis reporting in. I heard you placed a bounty of a million credits on the girl behind me. [/color]" she switched the view to the one from the cell's camera and for a second, Alexis thought that the man smiled but it was gone too fast to be sure.
"[color=black] Be at 425.12557.123.15.6.6.2.2 these coordonates in 2 hours. A ship will meet you there. The prisoner will be taken in and then the credits will be transferred to your account. [/color]" the man said. His voice was like 10 people talking in the same time, the same thing. A strange way to hide one's voice but Alexis didn't care. 
Before she could say anything, the comm window closed. 

"[color=silver] Heard that? The mystery client is ready to take you home or wherever he'll take you. 

JV ! Plot a course to the received coordonates but be sure to stop 50 kms before them. I want to be sure we're not walking in an ambush. [/color]" said Alexis. Her voice no longer being changed by the helmet. 

She then went back to Noemi and after taking off her helmet, said "[color=silver] So, we've got about 2 hours until we reach the destination. First of all, thank you for the repair. It would've cost me a lot more on a starship. Second of all, do you mind if you tell me, why is there a million credits bounty on your head? Who did you piss off that high in the GN Council? [/color]" her voice was calm and steady. There was no sign of the harshness with which she spoke to Noemi before.
