Again Rick Rapture found himself in front of the Interplanetary Council. He was starting to notice a pattern here and didn’t like what he saw. Was he cursed to be the Alliance’s pawn for the rest of his life? So far they had yet to address his presence though he’d been standing in the chamber for fifteen minutes. They continued to debate amongst themselves ever so often throwing a glance in his direction. “Captain Rick Rapture our agreement was for you to bring us the Sword of the Apocalypse which you failed to do. Therefore the Council has decided that you will not be paid for your services and our contract is at an end.” “What? How can you do that? The weapon was dismantled when I arrived. Besides I completed the secondary objective and I lost my navigator in the process. I deserve some kind of compensation!” “Rescuing the Princess of Mithuna was not the primary target. The SOTA was. And you failed to bring in Hawk Hawthorne.” “The Renegade wasn’t one of my objectives” Rick protested “as I stated in my written report he managed to slip away while I was fighting the flying construct.” “And you did not feel the need to chase after him?” “Not when I had to worry about the Princess.” “You are dismissed Captain Rapture” the lead councilwoman said with a wave of her hand. Rick left the chambers infuriated at their refusal to pay him. Morphing navigation robots were very rare and hard to come by. He hoped they would at least given him enough to replace Coyote. As he walked towards the exit of the building Skylar Blu stood up from where she had been sitting on a bench waiting. “Well?” she asked. “They won’t pay because I didn’t bring them Hawk.” “Don’t worry about it. You still have me.” Rick smiled at this, it seemed the ordeal had at least reconciled their relationship “but I have to be able to support myself. I’m not going to live off your royalty.” “I know but my father offered a five million bounty for my safe return” Skylar said with a wink “so once we return to Mithuna you’ll have your own money.” “Why didn’t you say so before?” Rick asked as he took her arm in his and headed toward the port where Dark Revelation awaited them. Thirteen hours ago… As Rick shook off his fall he stared at the remains of the bat-like machine in wonder at the people who could’ve made such a thing. Then he looked around and found Skylar Blu now kneeling over Hawk wiping sweat from his brow. “He’s got a fever” she said as he came over. “Let’s get him back to his ship. Hopefully his pilot is still capable of flying them away from here.” “You’re just letting me go?” Hawk asked in a harsh whisper. “I’ll be honest with you Hawk. Not sure how much longer you’ll live after the level of exposure you had to the nuclear material. Besides you didn’t get the weapon so I don’t see the point in turning you over to the Alliance. Plus I figured I owed you one for helping me out back there. Wouldn’t you rather live out whatever time you have left out there somewhere” Rick said pointing towards where the stars should be “or would you rather spend it behind bars?” “I’d definitely prefer freedom” Hawk said as Rick helped him to his feet “thanks, you’re not as bad as those other ADF bastards.” __________________ Buy comics from mycomicshop.com

I don't know I kind of left that up to the reader to decide for themselves. If I decide to write another story about Rick Rapture's adventures then I will probably have to mention what happened to Hawk one way or the other. But until then I'll keep you guys guessing. All I know for sure is that the two men parted on terms of mutual respect for one another. So if he does manage to survive maybe the'll team up in a story later on. __________________ Buy comics from mycomicshop.com

I don't think he will die.(If he does then it will be almost as shocking as the death of Gwen Stacy) Snooch to the Booch! __________________ Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,For you may be the next to die.
