Green said, “They don’t allow him enough rest time. It’s been three years, by his time frame, since his last vacation. That is dangerous. If a Red becomes overworked, he could make mistakes. That would not be a good thing.”

Gray said, “Even the military takes time off for fun and games. To work for so long is not healthy.”

Blue said, “We take time off also, but this is different. He could take the time off but does not. Why?”

Green said, “He has too much to do. There are no others to take his place. They have lots of Greens, but I think this is their only Red.”

Yellows said, “In their entire species, they have only one Red? We do not think so.”

Little Yellows said, “He is not the only Red, but he is the top Red.”

Gray took a step back, “We took their top Red. No wonder they are after us. I would trade all our Clears for our top Red.”

Green smiled until Blue said, “Gray, you would trade all our Clears for a good drink.”

Gray smiled. “Probably. Green, continue.”

I said, “Gray should try our Kentucky whiskey. If you want an alcoholic drink, it is very strong.”

Gray exclaimed, “Your species has alcohol?”

I smiled. “In thousands of different blends and types. Some aged and some not. It is a passion of many of our people, though I don’t understand why.”

Green said, “A Red would not.”

Gray said, “Thousands, you say. Your species may have some redeeming qualities after all.”
