Outlaw Star-Fatal Blow

Chapter 2-24-A Tragety for One ain't A Tragety For Another

"Oh my God!" Gene cried out.

"She was..." Melfina stopped.

She looked over to see Gene crying. She didn't think he'd dred on the situation the way he was.

"Gene. Sazuka will be ok. You shouldn't worry about her as if she was your wife." She said the last few words loud and with anger. Gene noticed her tone and immediately knew what was going on. Gene stood up with his head looking down at Sazuka, so his faced was unseen.

"...You're jealous."

There was no movement from Gene for about 10 minutes. He just stared at Susaka. It seemed if he was trying to think of his next move. Then he bent down and picked Susuka up. He walked, with her in his arms, back onto the ship. Everyone else from the crew were somewhere else when Gene entered the ship.

Gene stared down at Susuka as if he was mad at her. Then he cracked a smile.

"Melfina and I broke up."
