Red boots clicked against the steel floor of the alien bar. Intense music filled the air but the smell of alcohol and smoke was stronger; not to the liking of the new stranger.
No one seemed to care who wandered in and out, as long as they were not someone who was able to throw them in the galactic jails. Some, by the look of them, had been in jail and escaped numerous times; bar swells like this one was great for low cover. Therefore everyone kept an eye out. Especially the two brown orbs of the new comer.
The woman took a seat on one of the stools, shooting askance glances to everyone whom dared to look her way. She did not look tough nor did she appear as if the woman could pose a threat to anyone. Those rosy pink lips and almond-shaped eyes were sweet to behold.
The apparel she wore was of a street walker; in other words a harlot. Red and orange were the colors of her dress, and there was not much to it to be honest; revealing light skin around the midriff, thighs, and places in the shoulders. Her brown hair was entangled in a bun about her head with red, orange, and yellow beads scattered about. Some had been braided into stands that fell loosely about her shoulders. There was red eye shadow and sparkles about her eyes. Henna tattoos ran up her arms and down her back.
Dark optics glanced at everyone, especially on one which was sitting near the door. The Xexto gave her a glance which was accompanied by a grin. He looked to be no better then a smuggler with his leather attire. His name was Datanta Musho. No one had a kind word to say about him, but then again no one wanted to be known as his enemy.
The woman was obviously a female human. She gave a wink to Musho, and then blew a kiss. He took it as a signal that he was going to get lucky with this one, and so put his guard down.
When he took a seat beside her, she leaned into him and pressed her cheek to his. The comfort of her touch turned to venom when Musho felt the barrel of a sporting blaster pressing to his chest. None could see it but he, for it was hidden by her body.
Quickly his hands zoomed down towards his own weapon.
"I wouldn't do that." Her words sounded like honey.
He let out a laugh. "And what are you going to do? Kill me?" Her fingers pressed tighter about the trigger, and he gulped hard. "What do you want?"
"Dingino... your doing dealings behind my bosses back… not a very wise thing to do. He's angry with you and wants to know who you are sneaking around for."
He gulped again but was for certain that he was not going to tell her anything. Dark pools of black widened then narrowed as he looked into her own optics. There was a moment where he felt like taking a blaster and blowing her head off, but then again, she was the one with the weapon. "Penngroth! I should have known it was you! Lousy son of a…"
His words were low and muffled, and she was glad for that. Cover had to be taken seriously. She disregarded his words and pressed the barrel deeper into the folds of his leather jacket. "Listen, if you want to live to see another day of your worthless life, then you is going to speak Musho."
"Gavja Pumbbala!"
Orion could hardly contain herself when she had heard the name. She knitted her brow. "The Senator? He would never do such dealings! I suggest you don't play me!"
"I speak the truth! He was threatened by the Separatists that if he didn't help them out then they would take the more then his head."
"So how does this involve you?"
"I smuggle weapons, spies, anything that they call for. He gave me the same ultimatum you gave me… do it or die! What was I supposed to do?"
She rolled her eyes. "Thanks for the enlightenment but I hardly think that they had to threaten your life, Musho."
"You don't believe me?"
Orion stood to her feet. The blaster had been put away to Musho's relief but she still was not leaving. Her fingers glided toward her thigh. "I am very disappointed in you Musho and I am afraid all your life lines have been used up."
Her clutched fingers came colliding down toward Musho's neck. There was terror in his eyes as she plunged a needle into him. He sputtered a few inaudible words. Orion felt his pulse die away. "Nighty night."
The alien body fell to the floor like a sack of vegetables. The bounty hunter had done her job, and had done it well. She disregarded the stares of others with a roll of her shoulders. Now all she had to do was give Senator Pumbbala a little visit."
Her boots clanked against the cold floor, heading toward the outside.
