Xephos felt weak. His breathe came out as sharp gasps as he tried to take in the dank air around him. The chains rattled slightly as he sat, hunched forward, staring at the floor. The only thing that made him feel better was the blue lights that shone back at him. Thank Notch he had taken his contacts out before the two idiots had captured him.

He looked up at the sound of a familiar persons voice. They were quite a bit away, but it was obvious who it was. It was Ridge.

He quickly tugged on the chains and attempted to stand up, his shoes slipping on the floor as he did so. He tugged at the chains and attempted to shout to the reaper.

Ridge was looking around the lobby with Sips and Sjin watching him. "This place is nice." The reaper said. "And to call yourselves cheat police when you're the ones cheating has guts." He added, his tone like usual. A mix between mocking and casual.

"We didn't cheat!" Sjin said. "This is all legit."

"So you're telling me that you went out into the world and found all of this marble?"

"We didn't have to genius! We have our second inventory." Sips said, folding his arms with a smart-arse look on his face. The reaper groaned and face palmed at the two's stupidity.

"Why are you here Ridge?" Sjin finally asked.

"Looking for Xephos. Nobody's seen him for the past few days." The reaper said. "You two wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" He raised an eyebrow to them.

"W- of course not! Why would you think that?" The dirt trader asked. He would have let the spaceman go sooner, if it wasn't for the fact that he was scared to go near him anymore.

"Well all we have to go on is the fact that the last thing anybody knows he did was change the time of day, and then nothing, I'm asking everyone. I'm not accusing you two. Although I guess changing the time of day would be considered cheating?"

"We don't know what you're talking ab-"

There was a faint sound, a rattling of sorts. The reaper pushed past the two men and followed the sound down the corridors. Finally, he came to a room with a large sliding door across the side. He kneeled down, and pushed the door across. It was a mirror, and through it he saw the spaceman, lying there breathing heavily. The two faint blue lights from his eyes glances slowly over to the reaper, who turned to the other two, his arms folded.

"What the fuck." He asked, somewhat sternly.

"Alright we know how it looks..." Sjin said.

"We... Were just scared to let him go! He's been threatening... And stuff." Sips added.

"Let him out." Ridge said. "Now."

The other two looked to each other and then walked round to the door before slowly opening it. "After you...?" Sips said. The reaper rolled his eyes and walked into the cell, slowly, and looking at the alien.

"Ridge..." The spaceman breathed. "Please..."

Ridge walked closer and knelt down in front of him. "How did you get yourself into this mess Xeph?" He asked calmly before leaning over to the chains. Suddenly the spaceman tackled him to the floor.

"Let me get them. I'll kill them both!" He said, glaring down at the reaper. "Please! I can't take it in here anymore!"

The reaper quickly scrambled up, readjusting his jacket sleeves and looking down at the spaceman. "Xephos..."

He leant back against the wall, coughing and panting once again. He tugged against his chains.

"I... Need to... Cheat... My... My life force..." The spaceman panted heavily.

"Xephos. If I let you out you have to promise not to hurt them two, or anyone else." The reaper said, kneeling down once again to untie the chains.

"I can't promise that..." The spaceman whispered back. When the reaper looked back down, the spaceman had closed his eyes, weak and tired.

"Xephos... I can't believe I'm doing this... I'm sorry... We'll find out a way to sort this out. I promise... I may need to make some of that medicine... I'll be back. I promise." And with that, the reaper stood back up and looked down at the barely conscious spaceman before walking out. He looked up at the two who stood in front of him. "I couldn't do it. He would have killed you two. We'll have to find another way." He said, before walking past them and out through the door again.

"Ridge!" Sips said. The reaper turned around once more. "You... You won't tell anyone... Right?" For once the reaper could tell that Sips wasn't joking or making fun, he actually felt sorry for what they had done and wanted to fix it. The reaper nodded.
"I promise."
