With Jinx by her side, Anne exited All Guns Blazing and headed toward their apartment. After turning into a secondary tunnel that led into the interior sections of the Meredith Reynolds, they had travelled about eighty feet when two aliens stepped from an intersection in front of them to block the passageway. A quick glance over her shoulder showed Anne that a third alien now blocked their retreat.

The one Anne assumed was the leader, because he was the one who spoke, growled, “Give us the animal, little girl, and no one gets hurt.”

Anne looked at the camera, one of the hundreds Meredith used for monitoring interior spaces, and raised an eyebrow.

“Dat’s not gonna do youse any gud!” the second alien told her, holding up a device that Anne guessed must be some sort of jammer.

We’re getting held up by the Three Stooges?

Who are they? Jinx wondered

>>The Three Stooges were a slapstick comedy team on Earth, active from 1922 until 1970. And their device isn’t blocking Meredith. I wish there was a display screen at your location so I could show them my fangs.<<

I didn’t expect it would be able to block Meredith, Anne commented. That’s part of the reason I called them the Three Stooges. And you’re absolutely correct, this would be a great situation to show off your fangs.

You need to show me these Three Stooges dudes when we get home, Jinx proclaimed.

Only if you promise you won’t go around saying “nyuk nyuk nyuk” afterward, Anne told her.

“Quit stalling and give us the animal!” the leader shouted as he pulled a rod of some sort from behind his back. It reminded Anne of the fighting sticks she had seen the Marines use in practice.

Taking a deep breath to center herself, Anne firmed her stance as she had been taught.

“You guys just need to go while you can,” Anne said in a quiet voice.

“The animal!” the alien with the jamming device yelled, pointing at Jinx.

“Look,” Anne spat, quickly losing patience, “you’ve got so many things wrong it’s not funny.”

“One,” she said, holding up a finger, “Jinx is a four-legged person like some of the Yollins.”

“Two,” another finger joined the first, “your jamming device isn’t working.”

“Three—”

Can I have the boss guy? Jinx’ increasing anger created an underlying growl in her communication.

Sure thing. You take the two in front of us, and I’ll take care of the guy at our backs.

“You can’t possibly think you can kidnap a citizen of the Etheric Empire and get away with it,” Anne finished.

“Annnnnd,” she stretched out the word as she extended the fourth finger, “someone’s definitely going to get hurt!”

Jinx had crouched slightly as Anne ticked off the numbers. She heard Anne’s Go in her mind at the same time she heard “Get hurt” with her ears, and she shot forward. She laughed to herself as she thought of a sign Anne had shown her. It was a German Shepherd Dog and the words, “My dog can reach the fence in 2.9 seconds. Can you?”

Three quick bounds and a coiled-spring leap later, she had the arm holding the weapon in her jaws.
