Chapter 23
Ricky was furious. The very person who had tried to give him advice to win Cel over was secretly her love. He had to find a way to get back at Jack and to get this off his mind. That night they landed at Toruga for a short rest. He knew who he was looking for.
She was soon to be found, her hair was a bright red to go with her name. The powered face and stuck up nose that Cel hated was easily identified. And the look on her face when she saw Ricky again was recognition and lust.
"Hello, Scarlet," Ricky said. The look in her eyes left as fast as it had come.
"Where's your snobby friend?" she asked. Ricky knew she was referring to Cel.
"I finally got her off my tail," Ricky said. "Now I can go for the real catch." He cast Scarlet a seductive look.
"Really, now," Scarlet said. "I heard that she was looking for you."
"Well, then we'd better not go where she can find us," he added, a grin sliding up his cheeks.
"Oh," said Scarlet, "I know just the place."
