JET "BLACK DOG" BLACK
Jet shivered as he walked into the motel room, rubbing his right fist under his shirt to warm it.
"Where you been?" came the voice of his companion.
Jet shook his head and replied, "It's cold out there."
"You shoulda worn a coat," Spike replied, lighting a cigarette.
"I did. Had to give it up," Jet sat on one of the motel beds. The ship had broken, and they had to send it to a shop for repairs and stay in a motel for a few days. The girls and Ein had their room (Ein's for a "small" extra fee) and Spike and Jet shared their own. Each room had two beds. The motel was far from a five star hotel, but this was Jupiter, after all.
The beds weren't too comfortable, but they were washed frequently, at least, they had no stains and they smelled faintly of detergent. The walls were thick, so if you spoke with a normal voice no one could hear you from other rooms, but every night squeaking and banging and grunting from beyond the walls.
They had been wary of giving the girls a room of their own, worrying about the horndogs that might be able to sneak in and take advantage of them. Many men on this planet hadn't seen a real woman in years, and they might be the only girls on the planet. However, Faye was not easily overpowered, and Ed was nimble enough so that if anyone was able to catch her, they were more accountable than Jet, Spike and Faye combined.
"Where's it go?" Spike asked, referring to Jet's coat.
"Some - guy," Jet waved his hand as if to say it was nothing.
"Some guy - what?"
"He was cold and exposed, so - "
"Oh, oh, oh, oh - I get it," Spike laughed.
Jet looked at him. "Get what?"
"You've been on Jupiter too long, my man!"
"What? No! It was Nothing like that! He - He was being attacked, so I saved him, and - "
"He gave you a nice thank you?" Spike chuckled.
"Damn you, Spike!" Jet snarled. "I'm not going to tell you if you're going to be an ass!"
"Fine, I'm listening."
Jet stared at Spike, his eyes narrowed and his lips pressed tight together.
"I don't want to tell you, now."
Spike scowled at Jet.
Jet scowled at Spike.
Jet had to wonder.
