The prostitue was stepping into the tunnel that lead from the underground entertainment district, to the landing zone used by the aircabs. It was time to move on. She just wasn't finding what she was looking for here. But a small sound stopped her. Glancing behind her she saw a Human male in dark clothing. He was holding out a hand. "Wait up, I need to talk to you," He sounded slightly out of breath. Probably because of all the clothes he wore. Most people didn't know that Doroub was just as hot a planet as Tatooine. "I saw your badge, and I was wondering if you were still working." "Honey," She purred. "If you have the money, I'm still on the clock!" The man smiled and reached out to her. She quickly held up a hand, blocking him. "We talk pay, before we play." She said with a seductive smile. She then rattled off a list of services, and their costs. "Do you perform the Stuttering Gulla?" He asked. "Oh, baby, that one will cost you!" The woman said with surprise. "First of all, I'll have to call up a friend to help. And second, it's a bit kinkier than I'm used to," He held up a Republic thousand credit chit. With a grin, she snatched it from his hand. "Let me call my friend. She can meet us at my place." "Of course," The raven haired man said softly, as he took her hand. That was when she heard the hypo spray. The man's face then contorted into a mask of hate. "There. This drug is a very rare one, works very fast. It will make you do anything I ask. And I am telling you to come with me to my ship!" Again he smiled. Only, this smile was the kind that promised death. "I have a special cabin in my ship that's reserved for fucking filthy whores like you!" His voice was strained, like he was having trouble keeping himself under control. "You'll be begging me to kill you after the first hour. But what I have planned for you will take days. And in the end, you'll be just another corpse found in orbit around some planet, while I will be searching for a new victim." "Really?" The prostitute asked coyly. The man immediately knew something was wrong. She should not be able to speak. That was when something hard pressed against the back of his head. "You move, I'll spray what little brains you have all over the wall!" A man's deep voice rumbled. Three men in the uniforms of Doroub port security came running up the tunnel, their weapons drawn. He glanced back at the prostitute who was now holding another badge. "Deary?" Melenie Kinsie said in a voice that promised violence if he got out of line. "You are under arrest." "Oh, please!" The man laughed. "I research every planet I visit. I know what the courts are like here. I will be out tomorrow, and on my way to another part of the galaxy." His smile died when she laughed. "Buster, it looks like your information is outdated!" Kinsie grinned at the Human. "We have a new planetary governor. His first task was firing half the judges here and bringing in new ones from other systems. Looks like you should have studied a little harder." "Take this bastard away!" Kinsie told her officers. Two crime lab technicians then rushed in and cut off the fake skin that covered her mech arms so it could be taken in as evidence. "Bravo!" Dayvid Morss, her husband exclaimed as he exited the tunnel. "You were magnificent. Now let's go home. You have a busy two months ahead of you. The Federation doctors said you need to be there early so they can begin the process of regrowing your skin, and your arms and legs. Are you sure you don't want them to regrow your eye as well?" "No. I'll keep it. It's too valuable in our line of work," Melenie smiled at her husband, Dayvid. "But all this work they are doing will cost you." "And what will it cost me my dear?" "A baby. I want a baby." "Sure!" He smiled impishly. "I'll run down to the hospital and buy one." Dayvid's wife stuck a finger in his face. "Don't joke about this. I mean it. I want a baby." "If you want a baby, then that is what you'll get. Besides, I've been wondering about what fatherhood would be like." "Well you better be looking forward to it. I'm not getting any younger you know." "Tick, tick, tick." The man said quietly. Melenie Kinsie playfully slapped Dayvid, then kissed him. "Let's go home."
