This is the only way.

He was not going to sit back and let someone else play god with his father’s life. If Jaime wanted to use him as some bargaining chip, then Miguel would make himself the biggest damn prize in the galaxy.

"You wanted me?" Miguel said, jaw tight. "Fine. You win. Let my father go, and I’ll come with you. No tricks. No backup. Just me."

He tapped his badge.

**"Jaime."** His voice was steady, but it burned with barely controlled fury. *Controlled enough to sound like he wasn’t about to do the dumbest thing in his entire life.*

**Jaime Always played the long game.** If he had gone through all this trouble, if he had kidnapped *Gabriel Lorca* of all people, it wasn’t just about revenge or piracy. It was **about him**.

All he saw was his father—*taken*.

And Jaime wanted *him*.

Miguel took a slow, shaky breath, forcing himself to think through the rage, through the desperation.

### *USS Buran – Bridge*

Miguel stood frozen, staring at the holo-projection of his father restrained but receiving treatment. His heart pounded in his chest, drowning out the alarms, the voices, everything except the image of *him*. Gabriel Lorca. His father.

Jaime gestured to his helmsman.

"Take us to warp."

In a flash of blue, the *Vanguard* **jumped away**, leaving the *Buran* to fume in its wake—outmaneuvered, outgunned, and outplayed.

"You wanna board my ship? Be my guest. *Try* to arrest me. But remember, *niña*," he grinned, baring teeth like a wolf, "I don’t play by your rules. I play to *win*."

As he spoke, a **holo-projection activated on the Buran’s bridge, showing Gabriel Lorca in the Vanguard’s med bay—clearly restrained but being medically treated.** It was a power move, a reminder that Jaime was the one controlling this game.

The *Vanguard* **reappeared**—not where it had been, but **directly above the Buran, dorsal-side to dorsal-side, barely meters apart**. It was an audacious move, one that put the Buran in an impossible tactical

An instant later, alarms blared across the *Buran’s* bridge as proximity alerts went wild.

Before Kat could fire, the *Vanguard* suddenly **phased out of existence**—not just cloaked, but seemingly *vanished* from sensors. It wasn’t Klingon. It wasn’t Romulan. This was **Jaime’s own tech**, and it was unlike anything Starfleet had ever encountered.

Jaime Lorca was already a step ahead. The moment Kat locked torpedoes onto the *Vanguard*, he smirked, shaking his head as he leaned casually against the command chair.

Miguel, he grinned. “*

M’hijo,*” he said smoothly, letting the nickname hang. “Didn’t your *papá* ever teach you to respect your elders? ‘Specially the ones who *win?*”

The smirk widened. “Face it—you already lost.”

And with that, he cut the feed.
