The Rac
Amos and Pree
I watched as people ran around like chickens with their head cut off. And sighed wondering what all the fuss would do to fix things.
It's been three days since the metal ring appeared in the middle of the J and two days since ships had started coming through.
Ships from a galaxy called the Milky Way. The ring a gateway made from alien technology that almost killed all the humans there. And now their here.
The leaders of planets called Earth and Mars have already begone trading talks with the company and the nine. No big shock there.
A group of outsiders called Belters, the workhorses of these planets seemed to find Westerly a new place to call home. Atleast some.
Then, the earthers, and martians learned quickly the planets in the Quad and even outside the Quad where nothing to mess with.
And warrants from both new and old residents of our little J have been coming in non stop.
I sighed and leaned back in the chair I was sitting in.
"Mind if I sit here" said a southern accent.
"By all means" I say waving to the chair next to mine
Looking over, my heart skips a beat, as I look into the blue eyes of a well built, hunk of a man. A gun on his hip just to accent him more.
Looking at the logo of his uniform I realized he was part of the Rocinante crew. A crew that came from the other galaxy, and had immediately started to help the Rac try to maintain order.
"I knew once that goddamn ring opened up, the shit would hit the fan" he says leaning back.
"Honey you look like trouble follows you"
He shrugs "you can say that"
"Don't worry it follows me too" I say and extend my hand "Pree" I say, he looks me up and down before taking my hand."Amos Burton"
"Well Amos Burton, I would say your luck has changed now that you've ran into me"
He smiles broadly
I was about to say more when my killjoy noise maker went off.
"Shit I have a warrant, and it's non negotiable" I grumble shoving the com into my pocket.
"Sorry handsome I have to go, hope we meet again" I say with a small smile
"What's your mission" He asks
I look at him for second "nothing interesting, they gave me some low ass warrant. Apparently, some rich asshole is being held captive for Joy, and he has no hells what that even is.
"Joy?"
"Our currency"
"Aww"
"Want help? I'm bored as hell, and I'm sure the others would love something to do" he says pointing at a group of people, who where looking through warrants.
"Well I was going invite my friends" I say pointing towards Dutch, Johnny, pip, Zeph and Alvis. Who seemed to be conversing with Amos's friends.
"Maybe we should let them all be and go on our own?" I whisper, he grins knowingly but shakes his head. "I don't shit where I eat"
"How about a private talk after work over than"
This time he grins "I don't come cheap"
"Well don't worry I'll work you hard"
"Well than let's go get our families save the rich asshole and get to work" he says standing up and starts walking towards the group obviously not caring people can see he's locked and loaded.
"Damn is this what Love feels like" I say smiling as I follow my new blue eyed barbarian.
'This better not take long Turin, or I'm going make your life hell" I think as we near both of our chosen families.
After a lot of talking and bickering, everyone accepts the warrant. And the decision is made to take Lucy as it's a lighter, smaller ship that can get to the outskirts of Lethe easily.
Alex and Johnny
"Not as good as the Roci, but a damn fine ship" I say looking at the navigation panel. One of the deals was I got to help fly if I couldn't have my baby.
"Thank you" came the computerized voice Of the ship, aka Lucy
"Thank you darlin, for letting me fly you"
"Hey you hitting on my ship" I hear someone say as they plop into the co pilots seat.
"I am actually Dutches ship Johnny" she says
"Nah I got my own girl back at the docking bay, she might not be as fancy but she's got us through tough times"
I wait for the banter and laughter but there is none
"She is nice, I hope you don't mind, but I couldn't help it. Such a beautiful war ship better than anything the Rac has"
"Should I be jealous Johnny" Lucy says
"Of course not your always be my number one"
I look over to see him smiling, and can't help but blush. I've never met someone who understood the beauty of technology, of space as much as me, until now. And on top of that he was as hot as a Martian rock.
I blush harder when he looks over at me.
"Both your bodies are experiencing fast heartbeats, and the need of sexual intercourse."
"Well thank you Lucy for that information, and embarrassing our guest"
"Is that sarcasm Johnny"
"Yes It is luce"
" sorry about that" he says turning towards me "she's a wild stallion"
"No worries, I love wild stallions, especially ones that know the beauty of space and technology" I say shifting in my seat, almost jumping out of my seat when the door opens behind us"
"Are we ever taking off" come the voices of both Naomi and one our new friends Dutch
"They should probably relax the orgasms first so we don't crash" Lucy chimes
And both women are silent before bursting out laughing "well carry on boys" they say as the door slides closed
"Well shall we get going?" I say shifting in my seat
"Hells yes" he says doing the same
"I'll cook you dinner when we're done"
"And I'll show you my Quaters" Johnny says
"Is that human inuando" Lucy ask
"Yes" we both sat and can't help but laugh as we start to take off. Our hands briefly touching on the dash board.
