Being given the task of investigating Nevada's bordello's should be the dream job of any young man.
But Faré isn't an ordinary young man and this particular brothel has more than lace behind the curtains.
The clientele isn't human, but then, neither is his girlfriend, employer or closest friend; he's not a bigot.
The problem is that the bordello is being operated by the Andskoti, a group of aliens who don't have the best of intentions for the human race. They're also strong, smart and the fact that they look human makes catching them a whole lot harder.
That's a lot to land in the hands of an 18 year old. Fortunately, he's only expected to find them; once he has, Linith, Rheda and Ayjer can come in and clean house.
But there is a snag in the plan.
Faré has the worst kind of luck.
(This was a semi-challenge on my part, to see if I could write a short story. I set myself a target of 7000 words and... failed miserably. Nonetheless, it's a fun tale and the kind of lighthearted style I've been trying to get back into for a while. I hope you enjoy)

The Misadventures of Captain Clueless
Jax "Lucky" Larsen is a small-time con artist who's spent his life bluffing his way through bad decisions and unpaid bar tabs. But when a misunderstanding (and maybe a little fraud) lands him in the captain's seat of the Celestial Phoenix a long-lost, legendary spaceship suddenly, the entire galaxy thinks he's some kind of tactical genius. With a mismatched crew who actually believes in him (for now), an AI with major attitude, and bounty hunters, warlords, and cosmic bureaucrats hot on their trail, Jax has only one mission: keep up the act and stay alive. But there's just one problem-the Celestial Phoenix isn't just any ship... it's the key to an ancient secret that could change the fate of the universe. And the people looking for it? Yeah, they're not big on second chances. Armed with quick wit, terrible decision-making skills, and an impressive ability to avoid responsibilities, Jax must outsmart, outbluff, and (if all else fails) outrun every danger the galaxy throws at him. Because if there's one thing he's learned in life, it's this: when in doubt, fake it till you make it... or at least until someone else takes the blame.Complete
THE RISK (+18)

I needed to just spit it out. It's a question that's been lingering in my mind all night. It may ruin the night, but for the sake of my sanity I needed to ask Barron. Here goes nothing. "Barron, can I ask you a question?" I said as I twiddled my fingers together nervously. He nodded his head giving me his full attention. "What are we doing?" I asked softly. Barron rested his elbow on the table and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, I guess we are hanging out." He answered with no emotion. "Hanging out? You taking me to all these places is just us hanging out?" I said a little taken back. I was not prepared for that reply. I should have known.
