Chapter 69 The Floran Colony 21 (2/2)
He turned around and saw that his clothes and armors were beside the Healing Pod.
”SAIL.” John called out, while he wore his clothes.
”Yes, Protector?” The emotionless voice echoed in the Medical Bay.
”Who brought me here?” John finished wearing the clothes and walked out of the room.
”It was... Lenny.” SAIL answered.
[Lenny and not Peri?] John was confused. When he went unconscious only Peri and the Floran kids were beside him. [He probably finished his business with Oscar and returned in time to save me...]
”How long have I been out?”
”Protector had been in the Healing Pod for two hours.”
”Two hours, huh...” John walked along the narrow hallway. [What happened after I went unconscious? Where is Peri? Is they safe and sound?] John was worried about the safety of Peri and the Floran kids.
”Where's Lenny?” John stopped I'm his tracks and asked.
”He left the ship one and a half hours ago.” SAIL unhurriedly spoke.
”He left? To where?”
”Searching teleporter database...” SAIL stopped speaking for a while before it started again, ”No information have been found, coordinates have been deleted by the user.”
”Deleted?” John was curious as to why would Lenny suddently leave and even delete his coordinates, leaving no traces behind.
John entered the Crew's Quarters and looked around.
When his eyes went pass Lenny's bed something caught his attention.
The whole bed was filled items, from an armor set, to some grenades.
”Hm?” When John got closer he was able to see that there was a piece of paper on top of the pile of items.
He took it and read the contents:
”John, Lenny here.
I don't know how you will feel when you wake up and found out that I was gone, probably confused and a little angry, I assume.
Well... For the reason I left, it's in fact very simple, I took my ship back from Oscar's hands.
Basically that's it. I have a few things to do around the universe, some targets with high bounty in their heads need to die.
As for Peri, she had to leave and bring the kids to a safe place. I took her PIPS' number for you, is in one of the Data Chips in the pile of items.
I really enjoyed the time we spent together, even though it was short. I consider you my friend, the first after the whole fiasco with Oscar.
Don't be sad my sudden leave, it's not like we aren't going to meet again. You have PIPS' number, we can meet again, soon, but not for few days, maybe months.
That's it. Enjoy the the things I left behind.
May we meet again
Lenny signing out”
”May we meet again...” John whispered the last words. ”Indeed, it's not like we're parting ways forever.” John brilliantly smiled. ”We all have different lives, different ambitions and objectives.” He shook away his negative emotions. ”I wish you luck and safety in your travels, Lenny. May we meet again.”
