Dark Corners of Space

Allycat ... what a code name... sat in a booth in one of those places where decent people rarely go, unless in desperate times and stay only long enough to take care of business. But alas, this was home to her as was a dozen other places in the past. But then you couldn't do your job if one didn't visit these places.

She watched the patrons come and go from her dark corner, sipping on an Orion Squeezie, enjoying the cool drink as it stayed that way through the chemical compound of the drink which made it popular as you could add various other beverages to it to either make more intoxicant or the customer's desire. And served alone as drink by itself.

Loud rauscious laughter broke out in another corner as the group there finaly broke up and leaving, Several Klingons, A Remen, Two Nausicans which always seam to travel in pairs, A Rogue Andorian which puzzling in itself, but she made a mental note to follow up on that. She frowned at what was left behind at the table. Eyes narrowed at the naked mangled remains of a female. She turned away feeling sick inside. She stood up and slipped out the back, through the storage room to the ally in back. She paused and looked through the viewer to check on the ally. It was empty. She slipped out the door and on down the poorly light ally.

Another dead end chase that lead led to a dead end..or say gotten cut up to bits. She would have to do it the hard way by tracing the group that just left. She would either have to follow the Remen or the Andorian to pick up the trail again. The Klingons and Nausicans were just Muscle out to earn money.

She caught up to the Andorian and frowned as the body was still cooling down and half of it was missing. That left the Reman. She frowned and moved about the area and then came across the Reman, or what remained of him. Back to square one again, or she could take decisive actions against the suspect and pray she got the right one. But then it would leave a power vacuum and gang wars would start up again to fill the top spot and the death would continue to rise till and uneasy truce was approved of.

She left the area and settled in her bolt hole and relaxed. Listening to the planetary and local news. There had been several hit and when they showed pictures of the slain. The group had been effectively neitralized.

That was just sweet. At least her contact gotten indirect revenge. Ally Cat just laughed softly at the misfortunes of the hit team. It was almost time for her to meet and greet on another planet. She went over to the room's console and booked a flight out. And went to bed.
