Charles and Sam headed into the directions the drunk guy had told them. It was dark much too dark to see where they were going, so Sam pulled out a small beacon, set it on low and kept it pointed to the ground. A bolt of lightning crackled across the sky and Sam tried to use the split second of light to get a look at the surroundings, but all she ended up with was a silhouette of drooping houses and water logged vegetation.

"Can you see anything, Professor"? she asked Charles

"No not much Just Keep walking Lizzie", answered Charles while he searched for the phaser under his clothes

Then as suddenly as it had begun, the rain stopped. Dark clouds scudded and Sam felt the hairs on the back of her head stiffened when the breeze picked up. Several minutes passed, Sam shivered in her wet clothes as the breeze picked up.

"Professor, Sam whispered, then shivered again. "Where is he or she, I do not like this. I feel we are being watched".

"It's obvious we are being tested, our contact is deciding if we are the ones or some other people", answered Charles in a very low voice.

Then at the end of the Alley a dark figure appeared they walked slowly towards it they couldn't tell if it was male or female and they kept walking until they where at a safe distance.

The figured motioned them to come closer. As they approached she said, "Follow me." She led them out of the courtyard and past a row of worn out shacks. They walked for what seamed like a lifetime. It even appeared that they were going in circles. As they continued to walk another dark figure popped out of the shadows. It was the man they had first met when they entered the tavern. Then his eyes appeared unfocused and drunk but now they were alive with excitement.

"Good evening Jax." he said to their Guide as he wiped bits of skin and blood of a long thin wire. "They were followed by a Cardassian. I have taken care of it," he said as he coiled up the wire. He laughed as he held the coiled wire up for everyone to see, "With all the technology available to kill people this old method is still my favorite." He slipped the wire somewhere under the folds of his clothing.

Jax grunted but did not say a word as she pushed past him towards one of the old shacks. She made a series on knocks on the door. The door opened and Jax had a brief conversation with someone inside. She then led them through the door.

The group followed a passageway down a series of stairs and into a large ornate room. In the room stood a tall, slightly balding man wearing unusually colorful clothing.

Jax stepped forward and removed the hood of the cloak she was wearing to reveal long dark hair and disapproving scowl on her otherwise beautiful face. "These are the ones," she said tossing a reproachful look at her companion, "Stol over there says they were followed by a Cardassian. He has butchered him as usual."

The smile that had been on the man's face disappeared, "I guess it will soon be time for us to move on to our next place. Stol, take a team and dispose of his vessel. Report back to me when you have finished."

"Yes Master," replied Stol. Stol turned and quietly left the room. Jax moved into the shadows of the room and silently watched.

The man then turned his attention to Atwood and Carter. "Hello, I understand you are looking for me?" The man took a seat in an overstuffed chair and encouraged Carter and Atwood to do the same.

"Well that depends on who you are..."said Charles hoping he wouldl answer with the code.

"You tell me Lieutenant Charles Atwood, Chief Intelligence Officer of the USS Zion." he laughed and then went on, "Your captain and I go back a long ways. I owe him, which is why I am helping you."

Charles started to use his betazoid Gifts and felt the man was telling the truth so he said after a while "Ok that's fair to me...First of all may I present Lt. Jg Samantha Carter, my assistant", said Charles looking to Sam and waiting for her to introduce herself

Nice to finally meet you, Sam said, keeping an ever watchfull eye.

"So now we all know each other... I was told that you have some Intel for me", said Charles

Rex chuckled, "My dear boy, I have a great deal of information. You will need to be more specific." He gestured towards the room with his hands. "This place... this planet is just a small part of my information empire. What is it that you want to know about?"

"Well to be honest I need all the intel you can give me about Captain Jenkins... and if you know something how in the hell did Cardassians got stealth technology?", said Charles plainly
