And just like that Crow was back in. The long-forgotten desire for revenge crept up like tentacles grasping and clutching at the back of his mind, but he pushed them away. It wasn’t time. Crow slipped his datapad from his jacket pocket and slid it to Terra. A smile spread across his face as the circle was completed. The scared naive kid he’d met on Mon Cala was his boss and quite possibly the closest thing he had to a friend.
Terra returned the datapad. Crow looked down and saw a new contact was added. Juno Mars. His eyes flicked from the name to Terra. “Thanks, I’ll start looking into this. I’ll reach out when it’s done.”
Crow stood. Was there a little wobble in his rising? Yes, did he apologetically smile and then grab the remainder of the bottle? Yes. He smiled and threw her a sloppy two-finger salute as he stepped through the see-through door and back into the foray of Club Afterlife.
The Smuggler stepped out of the club and onto the sidewalk. He lit up a cigarette as he made his way toward his speeder. He’d sleep this off in there. A glimmer of color caught his eye and he looked up. The massive orbiting structure, Casino Satelite, slid across the sky like an asteroid heading to a rave. “One more roll of the dice won’t kill me, right?”
