The Limmie Daylights/Chapter 6

The Limmie Daylights

Chapter 6

A short while later, the three agents arrived back on Alderaan with the League liaison in tow. Pandolfo Taproot was in the entryway to the stadium to greet them. "Welcome back, guys. I'm having the local authorities lock down the stadium. This is now a crime scene."

"No," Kara the liaison said abruptly. "We cannot lock it down."

Pandolfo glanced at the Kiffar woman. "Uh, and who are you?"

Shasta responded, "Kara M'Lovi. She's just someone from the League whose trying to take over our investigation."

After shooting Shasta a glance, Kara said, "The League has had enough bad press already. We're not shutting the stadium down." She proceeded to pull out a comlink and give orders to someone on the other end.

Pandolfo just waved them onward. "Follow me to the securty office. I've done some more digging into our suspects records."

Bont, Shasta and Europa followed Pandolfo through the stadium to the offices with Kara tagging along behind still speaking into the comlink. She finished by the time they reached their destination.

"The man who was just murdered here was Jacko Prinn," Pandolfo started as they entered the security office. "As of now, I have no idea why he was targeted specifically. But I did some more research into the Feeorin that killed him. Pandolfo hit a few buttons on the console and a holoimage appeared. It was a blue hologram of Bozak. "This guy was suspended from the League a few years back and he hasn't played limmie since. At least not professionally."

"None of the other leagues wanted him," Europa added. She remembered when the suspension happened. It was the biggest news in the world of limmie back then.

Pandolfo continued. "Apparently he's just been looking for regular work the past few years without much success. No criminal activity at all. Until a couple days ago." He hit a few more buttons and the holoimage changed to the planet Alsakan. "Bozak is a wanted man on Alsakan for the murder of the Human male Ford Harken."

"Now how is Alsakan involved," Jace Bont asked. "Do they have a limmie team as well?"

"No," Europa answered, "but..." She raised one finger, as if she was contemplating a thought. "The Daylights just moved from Alsakan to Alderaan this past off-season. The franchise had a new owner and they moved the team here to Aldera."

"And Ford Harken was instrumental in the move from Alsakan," Kara M'Lovi added. "He worked closely with Jacko Prinn during that time."

"Now it's finally starting to come together," Shasta commented.

Bont said, "So someone may be upset about that move. Did Bozak play for the Daylights?"

"No. He was with the Kuat Destroyers," Europa answered.

"So Bozak most likely isn't the one that was upset," Bont said. "He's working with someone else."

"Which would make sense, because Bozak is just a dumb goon. He was on the team for his muscle and brute force. There's no way he would have known how to edit the security footage," Europa said, pointing to the computers. "I don't think he's that smart."

Shasta said, "We've gotta track down Bozak so we can find out who he's working with."

Bont said, "And I know how we can find him." He turned to Europa. "Who owns the Daylights now?"

Europa paused and tried to think, squinting, digging through her memory. "Uhhh..."

"That would be the Dirtlanders," Kara responded. "Stark and his wife Yasmine. They live just outside the Thranta Region here on Alderaan."

"If these guys are killing people that were involved in the movement of the Daylights team, the Dirtlanders may be next," Bont said. "We've gotta head out to the Thranta Region right now."

"I've gotta warn you, though," Shasta said, "MI5 may not be too welcome in the Thranta Region. We had a little battle there a few years back that destroyed a good chunk of it."

Kara was shaking her head. She was familiar with MI5's reputation...

"I personally wasn't involved with it," Shasta added, "but many other agents were. A few buildings were destroyed."

"That was during the hunt for CarbonEye, if I'm not mistaken." Europa wasn't part of the team of agents then, but she remembered reading about it in the agency's archives.

"Well," Bont said, "nevertheless, we need to get over there before Bozak does."
