bounty colonization crime environment hunter interstellar investigator moon planet space

Venus Bob, a private investigator/bounty hunter is after Jupiter Jake in an interstellar game of cat and mouse (or space dog and space monkey). 

This was my first story ever published, circa 1982-1983, in the school literary magazine when I was in junior high. Blade Runner was still a recent film and the third installment of Star Wars (Return of the Jedi) was coming out soon. I left it pretty much untouched, complete with its simplicity and mistakes.
