Trent
Trent set down the two bags of supplies next to the couch. He ripped open the packaging and took the items into the bedroom. Her scent captured his olfactory senses again. He tossed the items on the bed and went back to the living room.
Trent got cleaned up, ate a meal pill and called for a hoverCab. His plan was a long shot, but much better than sitting on his ass doing nothing. The worry caused his stomach to tie in knots and writhe in pain.
He pulled up the sleeve of his skintight silver suit and looked at his armScreen. The Cab had sent a notification that it would be there momentarily. Trent stepped out into an orange dusk. He felt chilly and pushed his sleeve down. He still didn’t feel right about this.
The hoverCab landed next to him and the door opened automatically. Trent got in and the door slowly sealed shut. A speaker said, “Destination please.”
“Space Shots.”
A monotone voice said, “You are referencing the bar, Space Shots, on Gullelli Drive. Is this the correct destination?”
“Yes,” Trent confirmed.
He entered the bar as the automatic door slid open. The scent of cherry tobacco lingered in the dimly lit room. The decorative pattern seemed to consist of shades of green and the place looked like a group of leprechauns had exploded. Even the rectangular droid bartender looked like a green mailbox.
A bar that resembled a grassy island sat in the middle of the room with haphazardly scattered tables and chairs around it. A black jukebox in the far corner broke the green theme. Trent took a seat at the bar. About a dozen beings sat at the bar and about ten others stumbled around the rest of the room.
He slapped the red button to summon the bartender and leaned back in the high stool. He nonchalantly glanced around the room. He didn’t recognize anyone as he leaned forward. The bartender slid down the track and stopped in front of Trent.
He felt guilty having a drink with his wife in the slammer, but he didn’t want to look out of place. He ordered a Cosmic Soldier and the droid scanned his armScreen. A few minutes later, a female alien with green skin and a tight shirt that barely contained her huge breasts, brought him a drink.
Trent had noticed a pattern among the drink servers in this city. He didn’t quite understand it because you tipped before the server brought out the drinks. It must be for the second and third round, after you got a good look at the lady. He wondered why he hadn’t seen any male servers with bulging crotches for the females.
Trent had a few drinks as the bar filled up gradually. He wasn’t sure what to do if he ran into one of the members of the diamond heist. He had threatened all their lives. Upon reflection, it wasn’t the smartest move to threaten a band of murderers.
His plan relied on blind luck, but he didn’t have any other options.
