"You better be teasing," said Connor.
Becker laughed.
"Seriously. If I thought for a moment that you really had a succubus after you, and you didn't call me over, I would take an EMD right now and blast you."
Jess giggled, sitting at the ADD. "Would you?"
"I would," said Connor. "First of all, think of the scientific research!"
"And second?" asked Becker.
"It's a succubus! How cool is that?"
"Not cool at all!" said Jess. Becker nodded in agreement.
Connor looked at each serious face. Then he screamed at Becker. "Dude! How could you not call me?"
Becker laughed.
Jess shook her head. "You're sick, Connor."
"Wait. How'd you get free? You should be a worn-out, empty husk."
"Ew! Connor, yuck!" cried Jess.
"Becker, how did you get free?"
"I didn't."
Connor looked him over and stepped back. "You mean…it's still…feeding? Gross."
Jess giggled. "That excitement didn't last."
"I'm not still at its mercy, Connor. Relax. Jess rescued me."
Connor looked at Jess, who beamed. "Someone had to," she said.
"How?"
Jess smirked. "I'm not the kind of girl who gives details," she said, smirking.
Becker laughed, blushing slightly.
Connor looked at them then blushed. "Ew!"
They both laughed.
"I was going to suggest publishing an article about defeating a succubus, but forget it now. Gross," said Connor.
"I don't know," said Jess. "I can see it in print, in certain formats. You'd make an awesome romance cover boy, sweetie."
Becker blushed. "No thanks. It's so degrading how they draw those guys: rippling biceps, naked chests..."
"Like I said, you'd be awesome."
"The final climactic scene would be awfully steamy," said Becker. "The real version was after all."
Jess giggled. "It might be too much for mass market."
"I need to find a bucket," said Connor, running out of Ops, holding his mouth.
