The drinks were running down my system and I had to take a piss break. One girl approached me inside the ladies restroom and said if she was a boy, sh...e would have slept with me. I took her comment in a positive way and was back on the dance floor with Sameer and Ritesh.I asked them if there’s any alternate available as I was fully drunk and was a bit scared now to do a dance. To which they said, “yes!”We left the club and were back in our room. All three of us could barely walk without each. I’d need to be reenforcing my position with Blake to stay the hell outta my business. But, apart from that... “Okay,” I said. “I agree.” She smiled, but she also seemed to not be done with her assault on my conscious mind. It turned out that she wasn’t, done that is.“That’s not enough!” I said, pressing her.“Well...” she said.“Well what?’ I said.“Blake would like to meet with you,” she said.“Swords or pistols?” I said, and I wasn’t kidding. Well, I was, but I wasn’t.“Words,” she said. I. They arrived at the rendezvous point to find that the carrier was missing, there was no sign of it.”“Delayed by mechanical failure?” Korbaz suggested, the Crewmaster swallowing conspicuously.“No, my Admiral. The returning raiding party decided to make their way back to the last known location of the carrier, only to stumble upon its wreckage along the way.”“Its ... wreckage?” she repeated. She tried not to react too strongly, the human was watching them closely, trying to get an idea of what. "How appreciative, babe?" It was Rod. I guess he just couldn't help himself. Frank backhanded him on the shoulder ... SMACK! ... and pointed a finger in his face with a look that said "Remember what Gary said asshole!" "Heeeyyyy, That hurt!" and Frank offered me a little grin. I winked back. The rest of them looked at my plight for the first time as a problem and not as a spectacle. My clothes didn't fit me any more. My jeans were rolled up as far as they would go and still it wasn't enough to.
