Kiah and Rilla sat down on the expensive green and black chairs and looked at the expensive flowers on the tables.

Everyone is afraid of him, " Kiah said. " And Commander Zadak isn't going to help us.

Kiah stood up. He was nearly two metres tall, with dark eyes and hair. 'Yes, come in, 'he said.

In a room at the back of ship, Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him.

Seru smiled. "You were right, Kiah, " she said. "Those satellite numbers were very bad. I began to tell Gog, but he didn't listen to me. "

Kiah waited for a second or two. "I know about Adai. But we need to talk to Earth Commander again. These numbers are worse. "

Kiah and Rilla waited. They waited and waited. At nearly twelve o'clock, a guard came into the office.

The next afternoon, Captain Seru's brother took Kiah and Rilla to a little room at the back of the prison.

Rilla took Kiah's hand. "You were right, " she said. "I'm sorry. "

The next day in Kisangani, Kiah and Rilla waited quietly in an office in Gog's house.

'You were right, Captain, 'Kiah said. 'Gog sent us to prison because we told him about the holes in the AOL. '

Kiah closed his eyes for a minute.

Kiah and Rilla waited. It was hot and Kiah began to feel thirsty.

"I wanted him to wait, " Kiah said. "I wanted him to talk to you. "

Kiah stood up. 'Good morning, Commander. We're here because we want to see Earth Commander. '

'No, thank you, 'Kiah answered. 'I'd like you to look at these numbers. 'Kiah gave Captain Seru his book.

Adai put his hand on Kiah's arm. "I'm sorry about Zadak, " he said.

Kiah took Rilla's hand, "Yes, " he said. "Let's get back to Kisangani. We can phone Adai again tomorrow. "

Two of the guards began to hit Kiah.

Kiah and Rilla sat on the floor near the door.

Excuse me, " Kiah said quietly. " We want to help Earth Commander.

A guard took Rilla into the prison, and soon she was with Kiah again.

Kiah and Rilla sat down.

'Yes, please, 'Seru said. 'I'm hungry. 'She looked at Kiah and Rilla. 'Things are very bad. '

'Nothing's wrong with he satellite, ' Kiah answered quietly. 'It's AOL.

'Can we wait and see him here? 'Kiah asked.

Kiah stood up. "Thank you, Captain Seru. "

'Where is the spaceship? 'Kiah asked.

Kiah and Rilla stood up. "Good evening, Commander, " they said.

Kiah and Rilla stood up. 'Good morning, Commander, ' they said.

Rilla looked at Kiah. "Earth Commander is a difficult man. I don't understand him. "

On Friday, after three weeks in space, Kiah and Rilla finished work and left Ship OM-45 on a space plane to Kisangani.

'Wait for us here, 'Kiah said to the taxi driver.

Kiah and Seru talked quietly.

'What happened? 'Kiah asked. 'Tell me. '

Kiah stood in front of the Commander. Just then, Rilla arrived.

Kiah ran across to the plane.

'Zadak is dead, 'Kiah said. 'But Bel is dead, too. '

Rilla looked at Kiah. 'And then? 'she asked Captain Seru.

'Did you phone Adai? 'Kiah asked.

Kiah and Rilla left the room, and walked slowly downstairs.

I'm sorry, Kiah.

It's important, Commander, " Kiah said. " In ten years Earth is going to die.

The guards moved behind Kiah and Rilla, and Bel began to laugh. 'Goodbye! 'she said. 'You're
