As Deela and Mirror Jim discussed the plan, others on the bridge chimed in. They were tired of this man that was terrorizing the people on the planet. They told her horror stories of what he has done to people that defy him. He was as evil as a person could be. Everyone was scared of him. But they had faith that they could get rid of him, once and for all.

"A couple of more minutes and we will arrive. I have some clothes for you to change into." Deela could see that he was worried by Jim's expression. She knew that look from her Jim back in the day.

Deela smiled, "Thank you. I was hoping I could change."

"Where we are going, you might not think so. Let's just say that Jack likes his females looking provocative. He actually has a dress code for them."

Deela wasn't so happy about that now but she was willing to do what she needed to in order to get this evil man. Jim went off to his temporary quarters and changed. Deela walked into the room they held for her to change. She picked up the out fit and cringed. There was also a blonde wig sitting there on the table. She change quickly into the clothes and put on the wig. She looked at herself in the mirror and laughed. She looked like a belly dancer from Argelius II. They were covered more than this outfit was on her.

Jim walked out of where he was and rang the chime where Deela was. When she opened the door, Jim's eyes almost popped out. She did a little belly dance for him and then started laughing, "What is wrong with this guy? I feel utterly ridiculous in this outfit."

Jim chuckled, "I think..." He decided to choose his words carefully, "I think we'd better get going."

Deela frowned, "I just realized that I don't have anyplace to put a weapon." She wasn't happy about that. She, for the first time, felt vulnerable.

"Don't worry. This outfit will get you through the door. There is a woman named Bethany who is expecting you. She wants out but is too afraid to try. I told her that you will stop him and she'll be free."

"So these women, they are not here at their own free will?"

"Some are, some are not. But no one says no to Jack here. He doesn't like anyone who defies him and they know it. So, they do what they are told."

"The other place where he was at, did he run this there too?" Deela wondered.

Jim nodded, "He just moved his business and the women here."

Deela shook her head. It reminded her of Earth and the men who ran a brothel, "Now, I really want this guy and stop him."

Jim put his hands on her shoulders, "I don't want you doing anything that will get you fired from your job or worse. There are a lot of people that want him dead. Others want to torture him and put him through what their love ones went through. They extremely believe in an eye for an eye."

"I wasn't planning to kill him. I want to put him away where he can't hurt anyone again." She wasn't willing to go so far to lose her rank or job.

Jim nodded, "Okay, well, let's go. When we get there, try not to look so tough. These woman are very quiet and they can be quite shy and vulnerable. So try to blend in."

"Without a weapon, I feel vulnerable myself. What about you?"

Jim updated her on the plan, "Once you find Bethany, she'll take you to me. Then we can discuss a plan. She knows this place better than anyone here. She's been trying to find a way to escape this hell and has looked everywhere for a place to escape. I promised her that if she helps us, I'd help her get away and take her to a place where they've never heard of Jack."

Deela let out a breath, "Let's do this."

They beamed down to an area close to their destination. Jim gave her a hug, "See you in a bit. Oh, one more thing, your name is Delilah. You are a new recruit."

Deela sighed, "Great." She gave him a slight smile, "I will. See you soon." With that, she left.
