Robben had eyes and ears at almost everywhere in the galaxy that would alert him of any available place to rob. He asked himself why his contacts didn't know of this gold mine Draxler discovered. Draxler was an arms dealer. Most of the time, his business had financial issues. Robben helped him out of the crises on most times through heist that were planned by Draxler. There was a moment when his business was in financial crisis and then was the first time he met Robben. Robben proposed to help Draxler out of the mess by stealing three super space trucks that had its capacity filled with titanium. Titanium was used extensively to produce guns. Robben in return would have twenty five percent share from every profit Draxler's business earned that year. Robben successively stole the trucks. The metal supply helped a lot to bail Draxler's business out of the crisis.
Robben was among the most wanted on the Inter planetary police's list. One time they had him in their grasp. Sergeant King was in charge of the operation that caught Robben. King let his guard down. He threw a party in the same mega truck that held Robben captive. Every of the police officers drank liquor until they were drunk. All of them lost control of themselves; they were falling around stuffs in the truck while they chattered words that didn't make any sense. One of the drunken police officers found her way to the prisoner section of the truck. She thought she was at the toilet. The cell door was a glass door. She peed on the glass door and then she hit the release prisoner button on the wall. The AI system in control of the door asked for her confirmation.
"Do I also have to confirm my request before the toilet is flushed, you silly computer?" – she asked the computer.
She scanned in herself saying "I duly confirm" into the computer and then the prison door opened. Robben came out of the cell
"Thank you" – he said to the police officer.
"No problem o!" – replied the police officer.
Robben left the prisoner section.
"This is a great new discovery. Poop that can talk and walk. Damn!" – said the officer to herself.
Robben found a CC in the trucks load section. A CC was the size of a city car. It was used by the police to chase criminals on planetary soil. He escaped the truck using the CC. Ever since Robben's escape, sergeant King had been a laughing stock in the Inter Planetary Police Force. Sergeant King was desperate to redeem himself. He would regularly order his troops to set course outside the territories the Inter Police Force operated on. King did that in hopes of bumping into Robben. Space was just like the oceans on earth, there were areas in space that were not claimed by any planet. Anyone could roam there. Robben was cruising the Black runner in an unclaimed territory. King and his troops were in two mega trucks. Robben was about journey to Draxler's place when the King and his troops spotted the Black cunner. King ordered the trucks to open fire on the Black cunner. The trucks fired at the Black cunner and the hits all were on target. The Black cunner ran on two engines for maximum performance. The hits damaged one of its engines. Robben briefly returned fire and he drove the Black cunner away from the police trucks. The police trucks pursued the Black cunner. The Black cunner expelled flashes of light to distract the trucks but King and his troops were determined. King didn't know who was the driving the Black cunner at this moment, but he knew it belonged to Robben. He knew whoever drove the truck was either Robben or someone that had something to do with Robben. The police trucks were constantly firing at the Black cunner. Robben controlled the Black cunner to maneuver past the assault.
"That guy is good, but we will show him we are better" – said king to the pilots as he spectated in the cockpit.
There were three pilots in each Mega truck's cockpit. One was in charge of control, the others were in charge of locating the pursued and assaulting the pursued.
"Keep him busy with the constant fire. Then you, Kolarov, and Fabian on the other truck will time your strike. We will strike him with the leash. Let's see how his engine will react. Both of you better get it right or you guys will see the bad side of me." – said King.
The police trucks were relentless in the pursuit. Robben's tricks were not working, the only trick that worked was the one keeping him from them, maneuvering. The Black cunner was locked on target to the Police trucks. The trucks shot two leashes each on the Black cunner and it caught it. The leashes were accustomed to Inter Planetary Police trucks. The leashes were intended to destroy any ship's engine, but the Black runner's engine was tough. The Black runner's engine instead went offline. A Police hover van descended from King's truck. It was escorted by five CCs. Six CCs came from the other truck. The van and the CCs surfaced on the black runner. Five police officers and King descended from the van leaving the driver only in the van. The police officers used an infrared detection device to locate Robben. He was in the engine section working on the engines.
"It seems there is only a single passenger in this vessel. The suspect is in the engine section" – voiced a police officer.
"The suspect may have booby traps lying around the interior of the ship. We have to take caution and prevent being taken by surprise. Activate the stealth wave on your suits" – said King.
The police officers were in space suits designed exclusively for Inter Planetary Police officers. The suit was not bulky like the Earth astronaut space suit. It didn't have the bulky transparent face helmet. The helmet was one cell thick and it was plain black like a TV screen. The plain black concealed their faces. The police officers activated the stealth wave on their suits. A CC bore a hole on the Black runner. There was not a rush out of air when the hole was made.
"It seems the suspect turned of the oxygen supply of the ship. The suspect is expecting us. Everyone be alert." – said an officer.
The officers, the van and the CCs descended into the Black runner. The officers entered the Engine section and they fished out Robben. He tried to run, but an officer shot him behind his shin. Robben fell to the floor. He groaned in pain while he threw cuss words. Robben was in a civilian space suit. It had a sleek design and the helmet was like a gas mask.
"Nice one officer" – said King to the officer who shot Robben.
King patted the officer on his shoulder and he went over to Robben.
"King of thieves, where are your followers?" – asked King of Robben.
King put Robben in hand cuffs and leg cuffs.
"What the hell are you saying, man? I'm not the king of thieves you dumb shit. Stop acting like you caught a big prize." – replied Robben.
"For a thief, you talk a lot. Take this man away." – ordered King.
Two officers dragged Robben to the van.
"I sincerely advice you to not throw a party on the truck while we journey to the station. It's going to be a double embarrassment to your teenaged son if I escape because of that again. Imagine the headline, 'stupid Inter plan cop strikes again'. 'You're a loser just like your dad'." – joked Robben.
King took it personal and he wanted to assault Robben, but he was held by three officers.
"He is kinda right, serg." – said one of the officers who held King.
King wiped a punch across the officer's face.
PEW! PEW! PEW! Laser bullets flew at the police officers. King was hit on the shoulder. The two officers who held Robben were killed along with the other officers on ground. A missile flew to a CC and blew it up and then the explosion lights blinded the other CCs' pilots.
On a Police Mega truck outside the Black cunner, the engine and the electrical supply went offline. An officer in the load section could see a radiant blue light emanating from the locker room. A thermal radiation exploded from the locker section, it fried away everything on the inside of the truck. The other passengers on the other Mega truck saw the resulting fire from the explosion.
"Serg. King, we have a situation out here. Truck 1235 is on fire." – reported an officer on the truck to King.
There was no reply from king.
"Serg. King?" – voiced the officer repeatedly to the comm. device.
The engines and the electrical system of this truck then went dead. BANG! BAM! BOOM! The cockpit and the load section of the truck were rocked with explosions. In the engine section of this truck, Adeola packed the Ocrium into a cuboid container. She wore an Inter Planetary Police space suit. She hoped from a hole in the engine room into Space. There was a CC outside the engine room waiting for her. She boarded the CC and then drove to the Black cunner.
In the Black cunner's engine room, Yui used a mini gun to destroy the other CCs which in turn killed the CCs' drivers. She was responsible for killing the other police officers. Sergeant King was the only surviving officer. Yui freed Robben. She gave him a robotic leg aid which he strapped onto his injured leg. Yui was also in an Inter Planetary Police space suit.
"You were not lucky again." – said Robben to King.
"To hell with you" – replied King.
Adeola arrived with the CC.
"Can you fix that hole? I have some Milicyde available" – said Robben to Adeola.
Adeola and Yui had infiltrated King's fleet. They planned to steal the Ocrium cells in the mega trucks. Robben was lucky that they were on board when King's troops had him.
Some minutes later, the trio was fixing the hole with some sheets of milicyde metal and welding device. Milicyde was like the Duralumin but more suitable for space travel vehicle. King was left in a non functioning CC floating beside the Black runner. Soon, they had finished patching the hole. Robben activated the radio port to the CC with a hand held device.
"This is the last warning King. Get out of my way or I will get you out myself!" – barked Robben.
Robben and his gang girls left for Draxler's place in the Black runner.
