That old itchy feeling part 5

I remember being dumbfounded by my new passengers sudden kiss and while it was not unpleasant I wasn't about to be put off by a mere kiss. I broke our connection and with as much dignity as I could muster with Rollie watching and about to burst out in laughter I asked "Madam please, " She looked at me with an urgency in her eyes, eyes I realized for the first time weren't completely human. They were a swirl of ice blue and green like mixing tides in the ocean and it seemed as I looked at her they never dilated wider or narrower.

"Captain Bellraven, "she seemed to stare at me like a predator spotting prey, "I apologize but I really must insist we leave the area in ...."she took a pocket watch from some hidden pocket in the sleeve of her gown "The next 20 minutes...Please , I promise I will explain it all once we are air borne." Our conversation was interrupted by a yeoman from the air field. "Sir, we have finished your resupply and you are hereby given clearance for departure at your leisure. " He snapped a formal salute that I thought might have caused him to rupture something,he then turned on his heels and marched off down the boarding ramp.

I casually returned his salute more mocked it really as he strode away. I looked to my new traveling companion" Say what you will, they know how to salute." I was hoping the more humorous tone would relax her but she seemed very anxious still to be airborne, Looking to my First Officer I said, "Escort our guest to the V.I.P. suite and be sure she isnt disturbed, I'll be on the bridge ...getting us out of here " I turned and as I attempted to walk away my guest spoke ..."My name, dear captain, is Genvieve De Laquiox please get us out of here quickly. I nodded an as I walked away I put it together in my head, I knew I had heard that name before...De Laquiox...and then it hit me like a cannonball..they were an ancient line of dark magistors, heralds of evil powers. What have I just taken on board my boat?
